hi folks i have this problem with Active sky 6.5 it gives me wrong wind aloft at the top yesterday i was on a flight at 34000 and the wind was 230/104kts i went to ADDS and checked the real wind conditions at the same spot i was flying over and i found that it’s not exceed 40 to 50kts ! any help to correct this ?

Anyone care to test this? http://www.drzewiecki-design.net/prodDD_GrassX.htm

Does anyone remember the Japan scenery that used to available for FS9 from this site? (they took the FS9 scenery off the site) http://fsx.o.oo7.jp/ It had city scenery for Tokoy, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe, and Kyoto. Well I am re-installing those sceneries and I was wondering if there was a specific order the scenery needed to be in for the scenery to display correct? (I am using those sceneries with the Overland Japan airport scenery) I don't have the read-me files for those sceneries.

Is there a tool that will tell me if I have any effects files not being used by any scenery or planes? A lot of times when I delete a old scenery or plane I forget about the effect files.

I've noticed recently that some (maybe all, but it's so marginal sometimes I am not sure) FS9 ground textures are being divided by a large arc slightly away from my aircraft. Beyond the arc textures are slightly darker than closer to the aircraft - the arc moves around with you as you pan or move the aircraft. I thought it was something to do with SweetFX, but the splitscreen setting is definitely off. If I turn it on, the effect is much more pronounced that what I am seeing in FS9 anyway. In any case, it only seems to happen over FS9 'generic' ground textures, as below. If I slew across to a 3rd. party airport, with its own ground textures, the arc demarcation and co…

Anyone who owns the CLS A330 will know that the gear animation is completely unrealistic, particularly on touchdown. I have spent hours attempting to modify the contact points to achieve a more accurate animation but it's proving impossible. Does anyone with experience tweaking contact points wish to have a go? Or does anyone know a solution? It's a shame because it's otherwise the best model out there!

Well, in the past this usually only happened after not having used FS9 for some days. But now, every time I start my computer and launch FS9 the sim does not run. When I open the task administrator I can see a "FS9-32 exe" there, consuming 0% of the processor. So, I cancel the task and launch FS9 for a second time...and yes, this time the sim opens and runs normally. (Windows 7-64 bit SP1 ) Any opinion about it ? Thanks.

I have scenery for Cuenca Ecuador (SECU) that I got from here http://www.flightsimulatorarg.com.ar/escenarios_extranjeros_2004.htm (it's like the 5th one down). A lot of the buildings that are opposite of the terminal are missing textres. Iooked at the read me file and it dosen't say I need any extra downloads to get those textures to show. Does anyone know what could be wrong? How do I get those textures to show?

I know it is for fsx but would be great to get it working in fs9 as well.

Hi guys I'm having a strange problem using FS9 with my IFly 737NG whenever I go into my fs2004 and all the menus and plane interfaces the brightness is way too high, i've tried to adjust the brightness on my Computer screen, but i'm a little hesitant to fiddle around with the Controls-Display-Hardware or other areas in the FS2004 adjustment menus, I wonder if anyone could advise how I can get back to a normal brightness level when using the FS2004 or ammendments I should make Many Thanks Richard

If this has happened to you and found the problem I would love to know what the cure is.......I tried 4 different AAL packages going back to 2010 all with the same result....has to be a bad paint but I don't know which one....if you do please respond.....thanks for all replies

Does anyone know of a fix anywhere for the Antonov An-124 (Design Bureau) lights? I have deactivated the lights in the aircraft.cfg with // and the issue is still there (the lights are in the wrong places!), so I guess that means the problem is with the model. But it seems incredible that the aircraft would be issued like this, with the lights hanging way off the wings and fuselage, and never have been fixed. Do others with this aircraft have the same problem? My air file (an124.air) is dated 04 Aug 2003 and the model (an124.mdl) is dated 31 Jul 2003. I can't find any updates anywhere.. If this is not fixable, maybe I should find a different An-124 entirely, …

Hi all, I am using FS2004 and have a problem with the wind sound. In the sound.cfg file under the wind sound section I have specified the minimum speed as 300 and the maximum speed as 400 (I assume the mentioned speed is in KTAS). However when running FS the wind sound actually starts at around 225KTAS, I thought the wind sound shouldn't be heard until the aircraft reaches 300KTAS or above as specified in the sound.cfg file. Also as the aircraft climbs the wind sound seems to drop off (gets quieter and slower playback rate) this usually occurs ar around 37,000ft and above. Is the wind sound supossed to effected by altitude as well? Am I doing something wrong or is…

Unlike the aircraft and panel cfg files, which I basically know and can manipulate without too much problem, the sound.cfg file is still rather a closed book to me. Could ask I ask one or two questions (which may or may not be sensible!): First, is there a part of the file which governs parameters for sounds in the cockpit and another part for spot view sounds? How are the two differentiated? Second, how would I reduce the volume of the engine sounds (as a one off for one aircraft) in spot view without changing anything as heard in the cockpit? I see that the 'vparam' settings would do this, but I have no idea which I need to change. Clearly those that relate to t…

I've found selecting reverse thrust (F2) is a hit or miss proposition. I have CH Pro Throttle and registered version of FSUIPC for FS9. There is no specific key map in FSUIPC for thrust reverse (F2), so I must assign a key (F2) to a button on the throttle. However, in many aircraft I select the button following touchdown and above 80kts and in most cases, get no reverse thrust action. I'd appreciate it if someone has figured out how to select thrust reverse (from a throttle button vice hitting F2) with FSUIPC loaded. Thanks.R.Perry

I had to re-install Godzone's city of Auckland scenery and I have a few questions. 1. I had to install the scenery manually and there is a file in the Ocen/scenery folder (the name is FL994450GVF.bgl). Now I know I am supposed to place this file in the Ocen/scenery folder, but am I supposed to delete (or rename) the original FL994450.bgl file? 2. At Whenuapai Air Force Base (NZWP) there is water going up a hill, is there a fix for that? 3. Was there ever a heliport somewhere in the city of Auckland scenery? I haven't flown around there in a while and I forgot if there was or not. If there is, then where is it?

Hey! I've got a problem here... My PSS A320... I can't access the overhead panel, keyboard commands for it don't work... But the clickspot does, but here is the big problem: It seems the overhead panel file is missing, as when i click the clickspot, my 2D Panel just goes away, but no overhead. Help plox?

Hey! I made a very short flightplan from Brussels to Rome for a Tinmouse2 B737. This is it....: "AC#60,OO-SDP,60%,24HR,IFR,08:59:00,10:43:00,280,F,1642,LIRF,14:59:00,16:42;50,275,F,1642,EBBR" and the aircraft is:...: AC#60,430,"Boeing 737-229(A) Sabena - OO-SDP" The problem with this aircraft is that it never starts at the sceduled time, instead of that it just starts some 'unpredictable' time later, and hence arrivés too late at the destination airport. The aircraft is based on the TinMouse II model of Bob Scott and some others. Can somebody explain why this is so? Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

Does anyone have a set of FS9 AFCAD files for Swedflight airports they could upload? Nice that Swedflight released the sceneries as freeware (long ago!), but without AFCADs the sceneries are a bit pointless. I have made one or two myself, but it's a long process for airports that I probably won't fly into more than once or twice a year, if that. Googling only leads to dead ends and broken links... Personally, I am looking especially for ESGP & ESNN... Thanks.

When I start up a flight at ESGP, selecting a runway, the start position is wrong, I am not on the runway, but off to one side (same with all four of them). AFCAD2 shows only a default bgl file for this airport, and indicates with a red cross that I am on the correct runway, in the correct start position (which, as I say, I am not in FS9). I'd assume that there is another AFCAD file, but neither AFCAD2 nor ADE9x will not open any of the bgl files in the ESGP scenery folder, saying none of them are in the correct format (and so presumably are not AFCAD files). ScanAFD finds no AFCADs for ESGP at all. And yet the runway on which I am sitting disappears if I disa…

Guys Been away from the sim for a while have come back to it and noticed that at various airports the AI merge into one an other whilst waiting for takeoff and end up looking like something out of " Those magnificant men in their flying Machines" wings and wheels everywhere!!!!! I am using Jan Martins FDE version 6, only seems to happen at certain airports Cloud 9 KLAX, Sunskyjet KPHL and freeware CYYZ that I have noticed thus far. UK2000 Gatwick seems fine. Only thing added recently was Freeware Regina, which I disabled and tested same thing.... and a couple of AI Aircraft. Altered taxi speed using FS9 Configurator no Joy. Searched web but have found…

Hi Guys I'm trying to install FS2004 I uninstalled it after a problem with my CH USB 3 lever yoke which had a faulty calibration tool, now when I try to reinstall it, the install goes successfully the FS2004 opening introduction screen pops up then disappears back to my windows screen, seems like there may be something blocking it, a long time ago I think certain updates could cause problems but i'm not aware why I can't even get the fs2004 to go through its screens though it let me sign the licence agreement when i first ran it Any advice would be most appreciated i need to get the calibration tool installed then I can try and rectify my CH Yoke problems which agai…

What is the trick to getting Fs9 to work with win 10 and modern graphic cards?

Hello all, A question about the PA Airbus A319 Version 2. Is there any way to get the airplane to stop moving on the ground when the engines are at idle? I mean, other than constantly braking or using the parking brake? The A319, when fully prepped for a flight, accelerates rapidly with no engine input when taxiing (at idle). I tested this out to see how fast I could actually get without so much as touching the throttle, and I got up to 60 knots across the ground at idle. Is there a way to fix this without altering the flying ability of the airplane? It is a pure joy to fly, as are all the other Version 2 PA Airbuses. This the only one I have a problem with whe…

Any ideas which is better? Thanks, Robin
