The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

If anyone's interested a pretty good EPGD Gdansk Lech Walesa freeware scenery has been uploaded here: epgd_2008.zipIt's for FS9 only.Here are a few screenies from a Polish language website: http://www.forum.vatsim.pl/viewtopic.php?f...f4faac971d837daHere's a little film of it: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oFbTKEA3kMwIt's also Lech Walesa's birthday today :-)

Just down loaded a livery for Air Dominica. Problem; Can't seem to find any Flight Plans for this Airline. I guess if Push came to Shove, I could make one myself, but I stink at anything but "from airport A to airport B". Multiple Legs fries my tired old Brain.Bill :-eek

Hi guys.I downloaded the new Bangkok airport(VTBS) for FS2004.But when I try to fly out of it, for some reason I don't see the VTBS code on FS9.The scenery is installed but I don't see the option to select the airport from the drop down list where you select the airport to fly out of.Help is kindly appreciated.Regards,AZ

Hi All,There's a good news for all CLS A330/A340 Airbus lover. I've found an unofficial fix for this problem. (FS9 only)The fix will only change 1 byte of data on .mdl file using Hex Editor.For A330: (all variants)- Open the .mdl file using hex editor- Go to offset 0x1B1E- Change the byte value from 6 into 2For A340: (all variants)- The same method as A330, but the offset is 0x2026Thats it!I've done this using FS9 and SP2 version of CLS A330/A340.IMPORTANT NOTE:- There will be no support from the creator of this aircraft and also from me.- I will not take any responsibility for any problem that might be occured.- You must do this at your own risk, so make a backup copy of…

Hi,Has anyone managed to add the shockwave 3D Redux lighting to this aircraft at all yet.if you did, would you post the lighting section in here please.Many thanks.I did try the alphasim forums, but there still down.

Dear allAs a compliment to payware LFBO scenery I am using the 2008 afcad by Guy Bourdelle (without static scenery option) , then the A380 AI by R. Mehlin.I can't get more than two A380's to appear at any one time, Airbus House colours, and I can only manage to get the primer A380s to appear when I replace the AI house A380's, and only one at a time.so I was wondering is it to do with the AFCAD parking I need to sort out?My objective is to fill the Airbus site with primer and pre-delivery aircraft. thanks in advance for advisejlm

Has anyone ever been able to make the advanced exterior camera angle features of ActiveCamera or Walk and Follow work in windowed mode?I've owned AC for a couple of years and it's useless with milti-monitors run windowed, so I just bought W+F the other day and I'm finding the same limitation. No where on the website does it mention that W+F only works in full screen mode, and truthfully, I didn't even consider that that might be a limitation before hitting the 'Buy Now' button (I was more concerned about just getting a reg. code on a timely basis). I'm afraind I may not have considered some tweak or am missing something. Any suggestions? Anybody? Thanks in advance.

Freetrack, an excellent freeware alternative to TrackIR, is now available at free-track.netAmong the new features included in this version are support for 6DOF in FS9, and the option to use a Nintendo Wiiremote to track head movements instead of a webcam.From the Freetrack website:What's news with FreeTrack v2.2 ? * Better tracking accuracy * Better profile management * Bluetooth connected Nintendo

hi,recently got the wilco airbue vol 2 and i've come across with a huge problem. I cannot control my aircraft (as in bank to left or right). i can turn it on ground but once airborne, all i can do is pitch up and down. pls help. thanks.Daryl

Be sure to check the library!Alphasim has released 9 formerly payware aircraft as freeware.Some cool looking aircraft to populate your skies.

Howdy Guys,I really like flying a SAAB 340b model, having down loaded it from a Virtual Airways I wish to join. The instrument panel of the SAAB uses that of the Beech King Air 350's.As per Notepad:Quote:[fltsim]alias=beech_king_air_350panelSo I got to thinking that if I can make do with the 2D Cockpit, why can't I just import the 3D cockpit of the Beech King Air 350 as well. Actually, as the above instructions point to the beech king folder. Why doesn't the 3D cockpit just become active?Hence, is it possible for me to make use of the Beech Kings virtual cockpit?I know it will be a Beech King 3D cockpit, but what the heck. I might as well enjoy 3D ;)Or maybe I can manipul…

I notice that AI aircraft don't seem to make it to Antarctica. Is it too far south for them? I thought I might get some to go to McMurdo. They take off and head in the right direction, but then disappear someplace, as they never show up. I like to do the flight from Christchurch to Byrd but they don't stay with me there either.

I use Dan Downs PMDG Terminal Procedures for my PMDG 747 after first loading from Navigraph, then Planepath Terminal Procedures for which I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hours of enjoyment I get from FS 9 which your work enhances. I am thinking of buying the LDS 767 because I love the PMDG 747. I have read through the LDS 767 manual that I downloaded from their site and the 2 aircraft are as close a simulation to the real thing as I have seen. The reason I am asking this is because Dan Downs PMDG Terminal Procedures adds the NOATC procedures that make the difference for me and I want to be able to use his procedures for the PMDG with the LDS 767. I do …

I installed the Auckland 2005 scenery but want to get rid of the static aircraft. It makes reference to this in the documentation but doesn't say how to do it. I don't find a setting for it. Any way you know of to delete these? Thanks

Hey everyone. I have merged the PSS A319/320 with the PA Airbus models and everything works fine....EXCEPT...sometimes, the LOC/APP won't work. It will work sometimes but not others. I know its not that the frequency isn't tuned in. I can visually see it on the PFD. It's just that it works sometimes and other times it doesn't. Anyone else run into this issue?Thanks,Danny-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 OC'ed to 2.9GHz-EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX-Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)-EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16-Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150-Western …

Okay, so we know how model radii work, but I was wondering just how AI park in a parking spot? Do they park in the middle? What is it that determines the middle of an AI aircraft? Is it the model radius? Is it a value from the aicraft.cfg file, CG, eyepoint?The reason I'm asking is that for example an AI MD-80 parks too much 'forward', so that it doesn't line up with a jetway. While other aircraft of the same or similar radius park just fine.Assume that I have gate small parking spots of 25m. Recommended Radius for the MD-80 is 24m. Will it park better if I increase it to 25? Same goes for the A340-500/600. They're quite long, so what if I increase their radius from 42 to…

Hi! Something is happening with my FS9.I TO and when I reach my height I set the AP. Everything goes all right and after 5 minutes more or less everything goes black and the speakers make a rattle sound. The fans keep on working so the computer in on.I

Hello everyone, Whenever I hover the default fs9 Bell 206 on grass or any other heli, the rotor-wash-dust-storm effect slows down the frames heavily & its like a slideshow! I aint able to land peacefully these days. My system: Single-core P4, 2.5Gb DDR RAM, Nvidia Ge5500 256Mb Gfx card. And I have the real environment pro package from avsim installed up. Thanks in advance!! -Sreenath.

Just curious if anyone has ever recorded one or attempted to? The SDK says you need to record some 5,000 files but I would have thought a lot more... after all isn't there something like 24,000+ airports in the game?Gee... I wonder how long it would take? Mmmmm...:(

Has anyone experienced this problem and fixed it? It happens with Active Camera too, and now that I just installed W + F for the first time last night and it happens with that module, I'm sure it has something to do with my yoke or throttle quadrant axes and FSUIPC controls, but I can't figure out why>I load up one of these programs and start it up and the view rotates and rotates and rotates over the horizontal axis (NOT the vertical!0 and I can't stop it without unloading FS9.I never, ever have AC and W+F installed at the same time.Thanks in advance to the gourp.

During my last two real world trips in an A320 I paid much attention to the stability of the plane in the air, and I cannot help myself: in any phase of the flight - except in turbulences - even in those which I assume were performed manually (landing for instance; it was excellent VFR conditions both times), I had the impression that the plane glides through the air very stable and banks are done very smoothly.In FS2004, when I look close at what I do there with all the airliners I have, it's quite a difficult situation (I assume the plane is hand flown in the following): banking needs constant pitch correction, straight flights are almost undoable without permanent trim…

Hi!I have problem when i want use TO Notch in Flight 1 ATR. My sim is FS9. I have self-made throttle meda with opencockpits USBAxes. Its configured with FSUIPC. When throttle is connected and i set PL:s to TO Notch (right-clicking) power doesn't increase. It increases only if I adjust power with my own throttle.When my self-made throttle isn't connected (and there is no other hardware that controls the throttle) TO Notch seems to work, but it sets power to 100% (altough I change PWR MGN mode).Any ideas?

After not using FS9 for some time, I tried to launch it. I now just get an error message of:

Hello. I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with something regarding an AFCAD file for some scenery I have installed for KGEG. The AFCAD file that I'm using with it (made by someone else) has a problem when trying to use rwy 21. It seems there is some sort of invisible box right around the end of rwy 21 that prevents planes from being able to contact the tower for take off. When tuned to the tower freq and having the atc window showing you can slew the plane down the runway and see that the option becomes available. It is the same thing on both sides of the rwy.My knowledge of AFCAD is limited and I can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Is there …
