Hi all,One more question I don't seem to find the answer for: how can you have gradual transition unchecked as default at start up? It is annoying to have to uncheck it each time you start a new flight, don't you think so?Roby

I'm getting error messages : terrian.dll (error), facilities.dll (error), g3.dll (error). This only happens when I'm flying in the Carribean. I've removed and re-installed twice, hoping this will fix things. Anybody, please help.

My problem:I downloaded the plane and installed it according self installer.The plane is there but the gauges are missing, both in the 2D cockpit and in the VC. Can anyone help? This Mirage is freeware and extremly nice.Thanks a lot and best regardsAlfred

Hi,I've just installed the latest 9Dragons Kai Tak scenery (v 2.1) and I have a very annoying problem. When ever I am landing, just before I straighten up with the runway, and I am above the highway I get a building crash message, however I am at least 400 feet above the ground so it seems I crash into invisible scenery... This also happens when I try to park at the gate... What is the solution to this problem?Thanks, Igor.

can someone paste the config file here so i'll be able to use AES and the maddog 2006 thanks

Hello,Last night I downloaded ISG. Great product! I downloaded a template on the website for the PMDG B1900D. It seems like a few things didnt find their way into the panel.cfg file though. The maximize hot area for the EHSI and the EHSI control panel are missing. If someone who has experience in .cfg editing or is familiar with this panel template could give me the correct lines to add in the panel.cfg file, that would be great. Thanks!

Has anyone done a new color paint scheme for the 737 300 or 400 in the US Airways livery? If so is there a link to it. I have been unsuccessful in finding one.ThanksKroswynd

HeyIs the PSS 777 a good buy? Are there any issues with it because I just can't find any good 777's out there.Thanks

The Pilot's L1011?The DC-10 (I think it was being developed by "Airbleed" or something like that?)The Dreamfleet DC-8?Just curious, these were three products that I was looking forward to, but seem to have dropped off the plot somewhere along the line.

I have project AI installed to give me a sense of realism. Well its nice to know you are not alone.But lately I seem to be getting around 10 aircraft on approach on 1 airport, 10 aircraft all flying within 500 metres of each other on an airway..... Is it because I just started up a flight? I mean it is a funny to watch sometimes!!!!!! Airline formation flying at its best? Airlines being friendly to each other by flying side by side???? Or they are trying to save money on fuel by flying in each other's wake (although a little bumpy for passengers)with the price crunch?

Hello,I recently got a new HP w2408 24" monitor and I am now running FS9 at 1680*1050 but I'm having an issue I hope someone can help me with.I am also running XP SP2 and the latest Catalyst drivers (8.4) for my Sapphire HD3870 X2.When I press "Fly" my screen turns black for a few seconds before the load progress bar shows and even when it shows it has no background (that white frame surronding the progress bar).During flight every time I press the ALT key to access the menu (I'm running full screen) the screen turns black for a few (2 or 3) seconds before showing the menu bar on top. When I run Radar Contact 4 with ADV display, every time I press the key to open or clos…

Has anyone some experience using Voice Buddy for executing Radar Contact commands?Can Voice Buddy be programmed in relation to Radar Contact?(I put the same thread on the Radar Contact forum)I have been using Game Commander for a long time, but for one or another reason, since a couple of days the programme doesn't react anymore, and the Game Commander website is down.Thanks on beforehand,Juul Tango,Near Kiewit, the oldest airfield in Belgium...

Lately I've been getting Out-Of-Memory errors followed by a CTD, or just a straight CTD. It typically happens towards the end of a flight, usually on approach (the most frustrating moment for CTD!). I had to download a module called Autosave so that I can reload the flight and complete the approach. I've noticed that after the OOM error my RAM usage is at about 1.8gb (I have 2gb physical RAM), with FS9 at 1.1 or 1.2 gb. Can anyone help me out?

Ok, ok, I know most folk are sick of hearing about bluries. I just thought, that with the spec of my PC, and the fact that FSX runs just fine and dandy, with NO bluries at all, this could be something simple.I only reinstalled FS9 so I could use the 9Dragons Kai Tak scenery again, which runs fine. Also, so does any photo scenery I use. Not though, the default terrain.Well, it's not default as such..... I have all Ultimate Terrain installed, along with Ground & Flight Enviroment.The gound textures are truely awfull - so much so that sometimes the road edges blend in with the terrain.I've tried as many 'tweaks' as I can find on the forums, and I've also tried deletin…

Is there an addon for Andrews AFB?

I'm using UT USA, GE Pro and Active Sky 6.5. I love how they have transformed my scenery, mostly. My only real AESTHESTIC problem: I'm in St. Louis, so I do a lot of flying into and out of KSTL and KCPS, which, often, takes me over the Mississippi River. I hope that many people are aware that this river has earned it's nickname "Big Muddy" for very good reason.Of course, in my FS with my scenery enhancements, the river, and all the water that I've seen, is a pretty Baby Blue.Can anyone please recommend a water package, pay- or freeware, that will allow me to tweak my water colors without compromising the other features of the above-named addons?Thank you!

I remember having this software years ago in Fs98. You could see FS flights where they are in the world. What was this program called.Is there a connection I can log onto where I can use MSFS ATC (not live VATSIM-too much trouble using so much add on software for vatsim!) and fly where other pilots are flying normal flights on ATC?

I've gotten spoiled with using flightaware.com, fltplan.com and http://www.eleventhstreet.com/fb2/ParseRoute.aspx (simroutes) to plan domestic flights, but now I'm interested in doing somewhat longer haul flights to/from EGLL to places like KDFW or KIAH.What are some good resources (online, not using FSNavigator type clients) that are similar to the ones mentioned above that will assist with international flight planning?

Mystery.I was running fs9 as usual, then went away for a few days.Came back and tried to load fs9, but it wouldn't go beyond the splash screen.Tried rebooting- same problem.Ran registry cleaner, defragged, cleaned up junk files.Ran virus checker-everything is clean. Still fs9 refuses to load. Aaaaaargh!@#$This the error report I get below:Any ideas what's wrong?C:DOCUME~1userLOCALS~1Temp54f1_appcompat.txtEytan OrnsteinIntel 2core duo 4400 2.0GHZGeForce 8600GT 256MB2.0 GB ramWindows XP home

How many of you bought addons like FS Crew, FSCopilot, etc and after a month or two you stopped using them? not because they are bad programmes, but after a time they become so predictable and just get sidelined? Howard

Somehow, DirectX 10 got instaled on my system, with a non-compatable DirectX 10 Video card. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how it would've installed- there's no mention of it in my Vista Updates. So my question is this- How the heck do I uninstall DX10 and revert back to DX9c? Ever since DX10 got installed, FS9 performance and quality have gone down the pooper, and I am getting video card driver failures every 4 or 5 minutes, which is annoying as all ####.Help, please!!!???Specs:IntelD 3.3 DualCore2GB RAMBFG nVidia 7900GT 256MBWindows Vista Home PremiumThanks in advance!

Hi Folks I've redone the AFCAD for an airport I'm working on because the MS version is not accurate. As a result the Taxi signs are not in the correct places. I would like to exclude them and do my own. Is it possible to access the MS textures so I could make my own signs.Barring that,is it possible to move the existing signs or are there some textures out there that I could use to make the sings.Regards, Ken
