    Hi,I'm looking for the schedule of Braniff's 'Great Pumpkin' 747 from KDAL to PHNL. I find lots of airline timetable webpages but none that show the inside of the timetable, only the outside image. Anyone know where I can find the Braniff schedules from the 70's so that I can see the actual times?Thanks

    I cannot remember this exactly, but I thought there was an edit/entry you can make in the fs9.cfg fie to make the autothrottle more responsive? Or maybe it's in the .cfg file of the aircraft itself? Appreciate any pointers, thanks!JS

    example: lock down the left / front view1. Be sure the the "Number Lock" key is activated ( turned on).2. Hold down #7 key ( and dont let go of it until I tell you to do so).3. While holding DOWN the #7 key, deactivate ( turn OFF ) the Number Lock key; now let go of the #7 key and your Right Front view will be locked down.To return to your normal front view, turn the Number Lock key on again and tap the #7 key :( jerrycwo4

    Greetings - I just purchased Capt Sim's F-104 package and downloaded it, however, never got an activation code the download will recognize to let me "unlock" it. We don't get a paper credit card statement, everything is done electronically so the letter/number activation combo never showed up on the statement as Capt Sim said it would - nor can I get any kidn of tech support from Capt Sim, as it seems - all emails turn out to be "circular," they keep coming back saying I've got to go to the Capt Sim tech support site, yet when I do fill out the help form and email it in I get a reply saying I've got to go to the help site - not sure what to do at this point - I need an a…

    Hi allI have recently bought a new PC which I have just got up and running, my new system is this.Athlon Quad Core 9850 processorNVidia 9600GT gfx card4gb memoryWindows Vista 64bit.Latest Nvidia Gfx card driversFresh install of FS9Basically when I switch views in full screen mode using the usual S key it works great. But when I ALT ENT to run in a window and then cycle the view with the S key it doesn't work, it basically stays as the cockpit and it attempts to cycle the outside view which it does very poorly. I have re-installed FS9 but it's the same. I am thinking it's purely a Vista 64bit issue.Any ideas please?RgdsDean

    Hi simmers!I remember that in FS98 (!) it was possible to have 'fixed' internal views... you know, pushing the joystick pan button once to the left (or whatever direction) and then the left side view didn't change back to front view until you pushed the pan button forward. The same was possible using the num block. Hope you got the picture... :( But now in FS9... :( If I want to look to the left for more than a microsecond I have to keep the pan button (or '4' in num block) pressed all time long because as soon as I release it the view goes back forward.Does anyone have a clue how to fix it? - Note I don't have Active Camera or something like that...Also the same issue…

    Howdy everyone, first post here at Avsim...I'd just like to ask a quick question, I recently downloaded the TBM 700 from the library here, and downloaded and extracted the files as explained in the read-me and the gauges don't want to display when I load the plane. I tried extracting .gau file from the panel to the main gauges folder but to no avail. If anyone knows what could be going on with the gauges I would appreciate the input. Thanks in advance!

    Downloaded the PSS Concorde today, the plane has a great VC but no guages display, just black holes where the gauges should be. I have the guages folder which came with the aircraft but I don't know where to put it to get the guages to display. I'm worried that i'm going to mess something up lol.Any help?

    I recently reinstalled FS9 and I'm having a little problem. I can't seem to add scenery. I've been a hardcore simmer for years so I know how to do it. When I try to "activate" the scenery within FS9, I locate the scenery folder (Let's say DEN_2006 for example) and select it, but instead it just opens up the folder as if it wants me to select something WITHIN that folder. I've tried this with different add-on airports. No luck. Even in the "directory" and "scenery area title" fields show NOTHING. I've even tried copy and pasting the scenery's folder directory location into the directory field. No luck.I'm running FS2004 on Windows XP SP2. I don't suspect it's my OS because…

    For anyone interested in the testing of engines for Jet Aircraft (commercial airlines) this is a link to a most fascinating promotional video. It is apparently the largest engine ever built by GE - at a price tag of 21 million! After viewing it I know I feel a bit more confident when I board a large aircraft!Enjoy!

  19. HiI'm totally new to Flight Simulator.I've just Installed FS9, Patched it to ver 9.1, and than I created my first training flight, C172 from Bremerton Natl. (the sim flight lessons scenario). I created the flight, saved it and marked the "make this the default flight" option.Every thing is default, but when I start the sim I get a message "Flight Simulator cannot find the aircraft for the requested flight. The default flight will now try to load." and I get the original default flight as originally installed and not the one I've created.My installation is clean, no addins, just 9.1 update and noCD4 for 9.1.

    Hi,I am using PFE for my ATC most of the time. Tonight I put my plane at KHUT and PFE gave me directions to taxi to RWY 31. When I got there, there was a blockade structure blocking the entrance to that runway and there was nothing I could do to proceed with takeoff. I thought this was a mistake so I canceled PFE, enabled default ATC and started the flight over. Default ATC gave me the same runway. So what the heck? Why does it choose that same runway, and why doesn't even the built in ATC realize that that runway is closed? What can I do to fix that? How can I remove that blockade? Why is it there in the first place? According to Airnav, RWY31 is a viable runway, doesn't…

When I start F9 the program immediately indicates the following messages (1) "bad license for B767-300" will continue loading. As FS9 continues to load I then get the message "PMDGoptions.dll not all planes will load," next (3) "recorder.dll" continues then the message "FS9 will shut down" with a file "mfc.dll" listed. I am lost what may all of a sudden caused this. Could it have been the temporary files?? What I have done is reinstalled LDL 767 with no problem and deleted the recorder.dll file but still I get the same sequence of messages shown …
