Just looking on Simmarket last night and I noticed Blueprint have sneaked one in under the radar :)They've got a package featuring Buenos Aires (SAEZ) and Caracas (SVMI) for

I have had the latest version of ISD's Milan scenery installed for a while now, but I just recently noticed I have ground textures bleeding through the scenery. Do they have a fix for this? I thought I saw a fix on ISD's website but I can't find the website anymore. Is ISD still around?

HelloLast night i decided to take the DC3 for a spin for a change from big jet flying.Normally i file an IFR plan for my passenger jets and head on my merry way,but i have a VFR question.When you fly VFR you are given the option of departing to the N,S,E or W or straight out.does the N,S,E,W refer to the runway heading or is it the course heading you turn on to after you have taken off?Hope that makes sense.cheers AndyPS i forgot how nice it is to fly the dc3 low and slow for a change. (taxiing is another matter)

...thought I would give everybody a "heads-up".Check it out at:http://www.commerciallevel.com/webshop.php...pid=89&groep=15I have bought it but have not had much time to play with it yet. My first impressions are very good though.Regards, -R.

Hi all,This is actually two separate issues that I was hoping to get some advice on. First, I've noticed a tendency of quite a few of my lighter aircraft have developed some stability problems lately which manifest themselves almost as if the aircraft is balancing on a knife edge with a difficult to control tendency to roll one way or another seemingly at random. Now I am a RL pilot, and as such fly with full realism and I am fully aware of P-Factor and other issues which might produce such movements legitimately, and I am almost sure that this are not the cause of this problem. One of my basis for this assumption is the fact that it happens at an speed and angle of attac…

Does anyone know, or has anyone noticed this? I have had FS9 since it came out noticed this before adding any scenery, etc. When flying within 220-30 miles of Philadelphia, the sim stutters badly for 10-15 seconds, then smooths out. It happens with the default a/p. Is there a piece of MS scenery (eye candy, easter egg, etc) around Philadelphia proper that causes this? If so, it must be one detailed piece.This is just a question that puzzled me for years, and just got around to asking!Rick

For all of you Overland pilots out there... I have a little something for you landing in the AVSIM file library in a few days. As you know, I've posted FDE fixes for the Airbus family, and we're well on our way with the Boeings. The 777-200 and 777-200ER have been posted, as has the 747.I'll be on vacation in a few weeks so I'll be taking a month's break from developing. In the meantime, I announce the Overland MD-11 FDE fix is undergoing final testing and will be ready for upload by the end of the weekend hopefully.After vacation I'll resume work with the 777-300 series.Get the files here: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...&Go=Change+ViewEnjoy!-- Bryan (Ou…

I notice some airport's ATIS freq. can be tuned in as far as 70 miles out but others, like PANC, it's more like 28 miles which is kind of close in to get an idea what runways are being used. Is there a way to adjust ATIS range? thanks

Sometimes I get his message from ATC when asking for clearance for takeoff or landing. Is there any way to get around this? Otherwise, I just go and do my own thing and hope I don't hit anyone!

Hi Folks I've been making my own textures using Photoshop 7, putting in lighting with Paint Shop Pro and making the textures suitable for FS9 with Image Tool. However, I can't figure out how to make the ground light textures for under my street lights or the see through textures for a chain link fence. Is there some documentation out there that I can access to help me do this? Regards, Ken

Hello All,,,Could someone advise as to where the aircraft label that 'floats' over AI traffic comes from?? I've been making some changes to my AI aircraft and I'm not sure whether I am seeing the old default textures, or the newer ones. I was thinking that if I could modify the label, it would surely makes things easier.Hoping that someone has an answer for this one! Thanks!!orbmis

Something knocked out all of my default FS9 keyboard commands. What file do I need to replace and is there an easy way to restore the default file? Also is the file that I need save/loaded on the default FS9 CD's?ThanksTom

I cannot decide between Ultimate Terrain or FS Genesis for FS9. Any thoughts?Thanksmeccadom

I was looking through the forums of various websites and I saw a screenshot taken at amsterdam with the airplane going over a road. Maybe I missed something but is that a feature of fs2004?. I have the amsterdam scenery but my plane just plows through the road. Does anyone know what airports have this feature in the game. I can't remember what website it was but it looked really cool. Thanks everyone in advance of any help.

Hi All, Just set up the wonderful Mega Brussels and have found some flightplans for Belgian Air Force, just wondering if anyone could recommend some that include EBBR for USAF, RAF etcThanksRen

I want to emphasize that... UNOFFICIAL! Do not expect Captain Sim support. Remember that any assistance you may get there will be from fellow flight simmers. Also, we will scrupulously enforce our usage policies there (for any of you that may see it as a place to rant and rave). Hope you enjoy the new forum!

I wonder if it's possible to change the sound of the AI traffic so that you hear advancing throttles on take offs and landing bumps, reverse thrust and so on.Can AI use their own sound folder with sound.cfg files like ordinary planes?

Hello Everyone,Not sure if this should be in the ttools forum, but I'll try here...Does anyone know of an AI utility that will scan thru the FS2004 Aircraft folder, searching /locating orphan textures that are not attached to any AI aircraft, and AI aircraft variations (fltsim.xx) sections that do not point to an aircraft. i.e. an orphan fltsim.xx section.I thought I had come across something a thread somewhere pointin to utilities that did this, but haven't bee able to locate the right software that can handle this.Thanks for any help you might be able to provide,orbmis

There seem to be many control functions that can only be accessed using the mouse, such as the Nav Lights switch. The keyboard command list doesn't appear to have a command for it. Can such a command be added to the fs9.cfg file?Also in the fs9.cfg file, what do the numbers mean, such as the "76,10" in LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE=76,10 ?Thank y'all

We the problem I'm having is when I go to launch FS9 I get the same scenery errors. Here is a list of them:BOSTON LOGAN2RIO de JaneiroFLYTAMPAMaartenMidwayViennaSan fransicoSanDiegoMiamiTampaMega Scenery Denver & NYSo far I've tried to reinstall each scenery but that doesn't help and left me with double entrys in my fs9 addon scenery folder. This all started when I accidently deleted my C: partition although FS9 was installed on a different partition I lost my FS9 icon from the desktop. I can't understand why this is affecting my scenery. I have attached pic's of the errors I am receiving. I hope their is something that can be done without me having to reinstall FS9 b…

Hello,I wanna expend some airports to make them up to date but therefore I need to make the area of the airport bigger and therefore I need the default airportgrass othwerwise ne runways will be built on citytextures.How can I do this?Many thanks for help!Best Regards

Hi all,A friend of mine is doing a scenery on Antartica. But I guess, to make it a little bit more lively down there, he will need some AI vehicles. The only vehicle I found on tracks is a M113 personnel carrier (usvtracks.zip, can't remember where I found it)that could be repainted white, painting in some windows and there you go, you could have a kind of snow mobile.Unfortunately, the textures are still the old .0af, .1af, etc.and my problem is that I do not know how to repaint them without the textures becoming misplaced on the model (changing extensions to .bmp, repainting, and changing back to .xaf and you get the textures all mixed up). I tried BMP2000, dtx.bmp and …

Has anybody figured out how to reinstall any PSS aircraft? At this moment I still have the PSS777 showing up in my FS9 but it's not showing any data in the instuments. No numbers or words? See Pic. I hope their is a work around because That's one of my main payware I use. A little history as to how I got to this situation, I mistakenly copied over my C: partition trying to install VISTA. Well since I didn't install the aircraft on to my C: partition I can only quess that some critical files must of been installed to C: I tried to run the load planner but it needs a key which if installed to my C: was lost. Is their anything that can be done?
