The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I have come to grief with my Fs9 installation.Due to problems I decided to re-install from a backup using Power Quest Drive Image 7. This also failed.It maybe because I tried to install the Backup over the top of the existing fs9 installation?Should I have removed all traces of the existing installation then installed from the Backup? And NOT used the original Flight Simulator 2004 discs!Ken

Hi, I have a problem with FS9 and Vista x64 Ultimate. I reinstalled FS9 but when i want to run it it says it didnt find any sceneries which were added before reinstallation. So I checked the scenery.cfg in the FS9 root folder but there is iverything OK. Whats wrong then? Is there anything else?PS: When I run as admin its ok, bet when just double clicked icon it says the error.

Hello all, I apologize for the similar topic to several others here, but in my searching, noting was at all specific to my problem that I could find...When I enter fullscreen mode, and press ALT to get the menus, they come up, but are not accessable with the mouse, or key shortcut. I have to go to window mode. When I switch back & forth I hear a ding, which has never happened before.I am not sure what is going on. I assumed it was the display drivers, but that has not fixed it. I am on a fresh install of XP after downgrading from Vista. Any ideas?Nvidia 8800GTSInt Q6600 QC @ 2.8MHz2GB ram (I know it is not a lot now a days, but I have never run out of memory)Any…

Hi, I would love to be able to use the CanarySim Project 2006 scenery but the installer fails to recognize my FS9 folder, any one know of a way around this problem.Andy

Anyone else having problems getting into the library?

I wonder if any one can help this mess I am in. With Windows XP and MSFSRecently I uninstalled FSX and it messed up my FS9. after some trouble I felt it was best just to reinstall FS9. I uninstalled everything as it is supposed to be removed. My problem now is I still have all my entries of the PMDG MD11 for FSX and the liveries all the sceneries from Aerosoft FSX still in my add or remove program under control panel. When I click on them they give me an error report to send to windows. It looks like the files are stored under documents and settings in a temp file. I removed them under this temp file and I still have a problem. Also I am unable to reinstall my PMDG FS9 be…

Hi allDeciding to return to FS9, more addons, beter performance & less problems with addon aircraft.I would like advice on a number of scenery addons.I have UT Europe, Ground enviroment pro 2 and Active Sky 6. What mesh would you recommend and is their any other scenery enhancements that can add to the graphics of FS9.Another request for advice.The ATC window keeps popping up with directions for all traffic, unlike FSX which only pops up with ATC information for your flight. I like the pop up for info for my flight only. can this be done.Also the ATC voice is absolutly iritating, nothing like anyone from the UK. I have fiddled with the voices in the ATC menu but cant …

So I know I posted about how good the MD and FS2Crew were in FSX, but after all that time testing FSX and then coming back to Beta FS9 I am so glad to be home.Imagine almost everything you had in FSX but with 5x the framerates LOL.I have had the privilege and the honor to Beta Test the PMDG MD11 in conjunction with FS2Crew for the MD11 so yes this is a little biased but the words are well deserved.PMDG has created a masterpiece that's performance is impressive for a default aircraft and is truly mind blowing considering the complexity of what they produced. Both the AC itself and the entire PMDG team have opened my eyes and I will NEVER EVER look at another MD-11 the same…

I've searched the FSBuild forum, with no luck; and for some reason I'm not able to register at that forum, so I'll ask here and hope Ernie or someone else familiar with FSBuild will see this.I want to build some plans for flying in Alaska, but FSBuild doesn't recognize any airports up there (I've tried plugging in a dozen, large and small). Is this intentional, or am I missing some files?Also (and not as big a deal), when the program is going through its initial startup and loading, the program is unable to connect to wherever it's supposed to, to load NATS data. This is a recent problem, and as I said, not a big deal, because once the program is loaded it's able to con…

I'm trying to load flt plns created in FSC 8.4 (FLIGHTSIM COMMANDER) into my PSS777 fmc I'm using fs9. When I save the flt pln and click on the tab (GO DIRECTLY TO FS FLIGHT PLAN DIRECTORY) It just puts the flt plns in the main fs9 folder. What folder does fs9 use for it's flt plns?? I have a folder called flights is this where these files should be going? Thanks Don

Lately I'm having to fix my stick assignments everytime I start fs9. I've had them the way I wanted for a long time. 1=brakes, 2=gear up/down, 3=trim down, 4=trim up, 5= flaps extend incr, 6=flaps retract incr. I have a seitek st290 pro. I look at the fs9.cfg and have it set the way I want them. But after starting my gear is cycling through views. After I close there is another joystick section. So I set that to what I want. But it doesn't seem to stay. I don't know where fs is getting the settings. I start with the default cessna 182 and have done this since I got fs back in 2004. How can I fix this. It's now that before I start a flight I have to go into assi…

Can anyone advise how to make the panels on this aircraft more readable? It is extremely hard to read what the buttons etc are for.Alby.

Hi guys,I was wondering what the altitude warning was that sounds like a slide whistle. This annuctuator is in real life use.I have heard the sound on Youtube videos showing a plane on approach, then right near the end of the runway a sound occurs. It sounds like a "slide whistle", going to a higher pitch when you reach a certain point, usually somewhere on final.I also know it was a feature on a FS9 plane I had downloaded once, but due to a reformat, I lost it and don't remember the filename.The sound only lasts for about seconds as you pass an altitude, or a point right before you go over the fence. It is not a beep, but a variable whistle sound. IIRC, there was a prope…

Hi all!Are the anyone that can solve the following problem:When flying at high altitudes the scenery appear like squares,- with other words when looking at long distances from the aircraft it all get very blurred or "foggy" (Hope it was understandable..). I have seen q a lot of screenshots where it is all "reallife clear." How can I remove the "foggy" squares into borderfree and clear scenery?My pc:Intel Core 2 quad q6700 2,67 GHzGeforce 8800GTX4 GB RI have installedFS Global 2008Ultimate Terrain Europe (FS2004)

I'm using the Memphis package by Vladmer (sp) and everything shows up except the runways and taxiways. I tried to delete all his files for the default scenery but it won't let me.I've also noticed some of my airports will not show grass around the runways. I have runway12 objects installed, EZ, Nova and Nova Gold textures installed.Here are the airports.....FLL2008Key WestSan JuanOakland-WTS- won't even load now

Hi, For some reason i am getting double Ai , in other words aircraft flying in pairs, mainly GA's, i have never had this before and i have not changed anything out of the ordinary lately in FS2004 other than adding aircraft and usual scenery, I have recently had a new larger HD installed and everything put on from the old HD at a computor shop after a bad case of viruses infecting my PC and i can't remember to be honest if the problem was there before but i don't think this should interfere with FS. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I've always had a liking for the HS125/Hawker series. When I started my career many years ago I worked on the engine control system for the AiResearch (now Honeywell) TFE731. We had an HS125 for our daily shuttle between Phoenix and LA that I rode numerous times.When I worked at Harley-Davidson we bought a Hawker and we used it for shuttles to the Talladega test facility.I see FSD has a model "on the drawing board". What are their models like? The screenshots look pretty nice, but I would value your opinions on the panels, VC, realism and support.

Hi all,Could anyone tell me if it's possible to set up keyboard shortcuts to adjust the altimeter incrementally? I'm aware of the "B" shortcut to automatically set the altimeter, and that the altimeter setting can be adjusted by scrolling the mouse wheel, but I really need a keyboard solution. I do have a registered version of FSUIPC, but I haven't been able to find a keyboard option for adjusting the altimeter there. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place?

Hello,I use Voice Buddy and have programed all the key presses I have needed until now. I need Voice Buddy to press and hold the H key down and while holding it down to then press and release one of the keys in the number row at the top of the keyboard. Example: I am using PFE. In order to request from ATC an increase in altitude of 1000 feet, I need to press and hold the H key down while pressing and releasing the #1 key. I can hold the H key down with the formula H[WAIT;500] which holds the H down for 500 milliseconds, but I cannot figure out how to then have it press the numeral I need while holding the H or L down in the one command. Nothing I have tried has work…

I have been running FSHotSFX in FS9 on my XP based computer now for a couple of years without problem. Recently I upgraded my computer and am now using Windows Vista. So far, I have managed to get most of my FS9 and associated add-ons up and running with little or no problems however this is not so with FSHotSFX.When trying to run this program, I get the error message

If anyone has the latest contact info for these guys please post, after going to XP 64 bit I have to reinstall everything and I need a new key for AI Blast. Thnx!!!!
