Is there any painters outthere who would like to paint Scandinavian LN-RRE?? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Scandinavia...&next_id=NEXTID

Hi Guys,For some unknown reason I'm getting an OOM error on the splash screen of Fs9!I did a flight yesterday from KSFO - EGLL and the sim crashed with the OOM error on finals into Aerosoft EGLL flying the PMDG 747.I dont think the current problem is connected but I'm just trying to give as much info as possible.Yesterday I purchased the new Lisborn scenery fron Aerosoft and as FS9 was at the splash screen it stopped responding...Ever since then I get the OOM message on the splash screen,I cant get past it..I've tried a system restore to an earlier date but no joy.I've also rebuilt my FS9 CFG but again no luck...I have 2GB of memory and never experienced this before.Any …

Hi all, hope you guys can help me.I noticed a very annoying problem regarding autogen in my sim.This happens during dawn and dusk time. Autogen buildings seem not to have textures, resulting in very ugly purple boxes.http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1668/dawnduskjg9.jpgInstead, during daytime, 3D buildings seem to not appear at all!http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/9076/dayee2.jpgAutogen seems to work as it should only during nighthttp://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3333/nighttp9.jpgMy system:Intel DualCore 64004GB RAMNvidia 8800 GTS 512MBWindows XP SP2Installed:Flight EnvironmentGround Environment Pro 2Ultimate Terrain Europe (default settings)I already tried disabling…

Hi folks, I came across this old site from the now extinct flytechsoft.com who made "Alert!! Pro" for fs2002/2004: http://web.archive.org/web/20070405183423/....com/index.html...I believe it's not available anymore, and I was wondering if there is any failure generator add-on as comprehensive as Alert Pro? It could simulate brake effects for actual runway conditions(dry/wet/snow) as well as a pilot's fault monitoring system (flaps/gear damage, engine abuse, etc.) I know FSPassengers has some of these features, but I'm looking for a stand alone application that could be run from another computer. Thanks,SP

The title says it all, I am looking for a Repaint for Feelthere ERJ-145 PIC in Satena colours.Anyone knows where to find one? Nothing in the two big libraries.ThanksChris

Hello guys,I've been living with this for almost a year now with no cure. I have tried a new magdec.dll and the registry fix by flight1 to as possible fixes but every once in a while it keeps coming back.What I get is erroneous heading with FS9. For example when I stand on a given runway I expect to see runway heading when I line up, but I see some different value. Than after I takeoff every 10 seconds or so it will jump around generally within 90 degrees either side of the correct value. This shows on my e.g. Airbus ND, but when pressing shift Z you see that same problem. So it appears to be that FS9 as a whole is screwed and not the panel.But strangely enough VAFS (VA f…

Hi Everyone,Recently I have altered something that has made the dust from the Bell helicopter, the landing lights and the tyre smoke from all other aircraft apparently changed to a number of flat polygons fluttering around on the ground. Would someone give me a clue on what I could have altered to get rid of the 3D effects that has always been there. It is not Aircraft dependant or Video drivers. Driving me crazy.Many thanks in anticipation.

Few days ago I installed Windows Vista Home basic on my computer and now when I try to run FS2004 I get a message that says: "For security purposes this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again." I've tried to reinstall FS and that doesn't work. So what is this debugger and how can I disable it?

For some reason, I seem to have lost my sound. I believe one of the DirectX 9.0c components is missing. I have dowloaded the file from the MS site and have attempted to install it with no success. When I run the dxdiag tool it does not report a directX version. Can someone assist with perhaps detailing the removal of any reg keys and getting the install to work? The OS is XP home/SP2. ThanksDom

I'm re-evaluating some of my STAR runway setups for a few airports based on some great info I received on here. It really does make a difference in which order you set the runways. Issue I have now is that at KMIA the westbound runways don't seem to get assigned even though the wind is 223 @ 12. If the runway asignment is based on 90deg angles wind to rwy heading then I would think that the '27' and '26' and '30' runways would be assigned. I have my STAR set up starting with 8L 8R 9 listed first, then my ghost runways, then ending with rwy 12, with 7.3 degrees setting on the ghost runways. It seems right but can't figure out why westbound doesn't get assigned. I'm u…

I would imagine this could be a complex problem given the variables that an aircraft can encounter. So when my aircraft description says it's max range is 6750 miles, how is this determined? Is the the distance it could fly on a full fuel load while flying WITH the wind? I'm just doing some fuel calculations for my widebodies and was interested to know how range is determined.

I've been Tooling around in My Kingair 350 for a couple of Years now. I think I'm ready to make the step up to a jet. I've seen a Honda commercial with a brief glimpse of the Honda Jet. It looks Sweet, but I can't seem to locate a flyable or even an AI model of this Jet. Anyone have any info on Honda Jet?Bill :-wave :-jumpy :-hmmm :-bla

Hello fellow flightsimmers :) I got a bit of a problem which I hope to be solved with some help from you guys.Loud and clear, suddenly I can't see the wings (animated in the VC) from my 2D Panel when looking back. And yes, I can see the wings perfectly clear when I'm in the VC mode.First, I just thought I'd messed up one single aircraft, but it turned out I couldn't see the wings (again, from the 2D Panel) in any aircraft I had. I've got no clue, but maybe there's an easy solution for this one covering all the aircrafts.Thank you. http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6209/signy5xh2.jpgNiklas Malm, S[/font color]W[/font color]E[/font color][/font color][/font size]Click be…

Hi all:Ok I was just starting to run Filemon today and yes it records a lot.Anyways I can see in the logs that I can see all the files that FS9 is looking for and perhaps can't find (effects, textures, etc) which is fine.Question: It's also stating that certain DLL's (i.e. msacm32, d3d8thk, dxdiagn, nv4_disp .dll to name a few) aren't found in my root FS9 directory but then immediately finds them in my winntsystem32 directory. Should I make a copy of all those DLL's in my root FS9 directory to save on search times?or am I just not grasping on how this stuff works?ThanksPaul.

Morning all..........Is there a setting in a model's aircraft.cgf file that controls the descent rate at glideslope intercept, or is this usually written into the model's airfile?The problem I've noticed is that certain models (both pay and freeware) will simulate the GS intercept almost flawlessly when flying with the autopilot on (ie-using the AP for the approach vs hand flying), while others have a very pronounced porpoising effect for the first 500' or so after intercepting. I'm just wondering if there are settings I can tweak to correct , or at least minimize the porpoising.By porpoising I mean it starts out,for example, at a 1500'/min descent, over-corrects to 400'…

I am looking for the"Flight Sim Manager now without date lock" over at Flight Sim.com and could not find it.I looked under the file name fsmgrpch.zip. Is it still available ? Under what file name? thanks jerrycwo4

Hi all:I know that if you have lots of aircraft in your hangar and lots of scenery in your addon scenery directory it affects the initial load times of FS9 when first start it.My question is would that same number of aircraft and addon scenery you have installed cause the system to run slower while you are actually flying around? Even if you were, obviously, only flying one plane at a time and in areas that weren't part of your addon scenery?Thanks.Paul.

Hello, I have a problem in FS2004 shown in the attachment. Sometimes I get random tiles of water which are of different color. There is not transition between each tile, and its look quite ugly and annoying... Anyone knows what is the cause of the problem, how to fix it, or is normal. This screenshot was taken shortly after take-off at Meigs Feild.EDIT : I currently have GE Pro and FE Pro installed. MyTraffic2006 for the traffic. Nothing else other than some extra planes...

Hello I have a medium speed setup ie P4 2.8 ,1GIG Ram and GForce 6600 card and get good results with FS9 .However i have tried some of the latest V4 POSKY 747s and find them to be performance hogs ie grey textures when cycling views etc and i cant change textures to DXT3 either (my normal fix)as this results in a huge lag when changing from 2d to VC view which for some reason DOESN'T happen when i leave the textures at 32bit which of course results in grey lag going to spot view ie CATCH 22.If you are medium system owner how do you find these latest POSKIES?PS I can still use the earlier models which are still fine aircraft so i am just interested in knowing.cheers Andy

Hello AllI have asked this before but i am still not clear on the PA flaps settings.In most aircraft that i fly on takeoff i usually select five or ten degrees of flaps,but when i set flaps in the Project airbus I get this..... Position one = no apparent change ,position two = no apparent change,position three= fifteen degrees.There obviously meant to be this way( all models are like like this)but if somebody can explain this setup i would appreciate it.What is the equivalent of five or ten degrees in the PA AIRBUS.CHEERS Andy

i keep getting no sound every time i use FS9, the only thing i hear is the ATC, but neither enviroment or other sounds.thx in advance Nikky

Sorry for doing this here again but the Unofficial PSS forum has limited visitors and responses, so here goes:1. I don't seem to have any leading edge wing lights on the PSS T-7. Is this me not doing something right or have they not in fact been modeled? 2. On performing an autoland (which works pretty well!), with the AT still switched on, I pull my CH throttles to the reverse position--which works perfectly for my dozens of different jet aircraft in my FS2004 fleet--but it does NOT work to reverse the engines on the T-7! I have to switch off the AT on the cockpit panel first and then pull the CH levers to reverse and then it works right. Is there a better fix for …

As I am now retired, and have a lot of time on my hands, I am going to build a home cockpit for my flight simming.With the huge amount of commercially available aircraft out there, I would like someone to give me some input on which aircraft is best suited for home cockpit use. I need to know which aircraft best supports keyboard control of the switches and knobs, and possibly has FSUIPC offsets available.I have no plans to use FSX (at least for now), so the aircraft needs to be FS9 compatible...I'm not interested in military aircraft, nor any small GA aircraft. Commercial airliners, multi-engine turboprops, or corporate aircraft would be fine.I've researched this…

Hi folks,I know that the only way to get EvolveAI models these days is to find them in WoAI packages and this way I have completed my "collection"... nearly...I'm only missing the DC10-40 which I'd like to get hold of for the Aeroflot Cargo fleet (currently I have them using the DC10-30C model).Does anyone know if this model is available in any of the WoAI packages?Cheers,Geoff
