Let me start off by saying as a reno resident you guys made Reno came alive for me. Your Reno casino add-on makes the town look way better and the airport add-on for fs9 the rno2007 is probably if not the most accurate I have ever seen on a freeware add-on . you guys even took the time to get the AFCAD right with the a/c perfectly aligned with the correct gates and jetways. I have all the other airport add-ons and love them. detailed enough and no frame rate issues at all. You guys should go payware. I think there is just one thing missing in the file and thats taxiway signs. All the other add-on airports you guys have made has them just not RNO. So, I'm figuring somethin…

Would someone please explain what this DXTBitmap program is, what it does and where do you get it. Thanks jerrycwo4

So here's the deal, every time I try to run FS9 it shows the splash screen for a few seconds, then quits. I've had this problem before, and usually it's a wrongly installed scenery or some add-on that I downloaded. Worst case, I had to reinstall, and that would fix it. Not this time. I've reinstalled twice, completely removing all files. I've done everything on Microsoft's support site, redownloaded 9.1, updated my video drivers, DirectX, etc. Still won't run.Any help appreciated.

Hello all,I need help with Active Camera. Just purchased the license but it doesn't seemd to work with me. I can't put a approach view, I can't 'walk' outside the aircraft, I can't 'walk' in the Virtual Cabin etc.I hope anyone can help me with my problem.Regards, Guy

I know this maybe should have been posted in the "hardware" forum but I'm hoping to get a more general response.I just got the "Buttkicker" base shaker attatchment for my chair. I think this thing is GREAT! It really does add another level of emersion to the flight sim and I highly recommend it.For example, I have been flying the PMDG B1900 a lot lately and the low vibration to the chair from the shaker simulating that dull roar of the engines is simply really cool and really adds to the effect.Now that I'm hooked on it, I have been looking into the eDimensional AudioFX Pro 5+1 headset since it also provides a vibration effect.Does anyone have this headset? Do you like it…

I been flying Flight Sims for over 10 years and this is the FIRST time I have ever made a flight in/over NORWAY. What a beautiful country. I took a short, couple hundred mile flight from Oslo (ENGM) to a small airport ENBM, NW from Oslo. The counry here reminded me of the foothills of the Rockies in the USA but with a lot more canyons and valleys. It was a real interesting flight. See screenshot. jerrycwo4

My ILS landings all go perfectly, give or take the add disaster for whatever reason - apart from the fact that at SO many airports my a/c touches down off the runway - sometimes just on the shoulder, often closer to the taxiway!The problem is not with the a/c itself - it happens whatever plane I choose. If I follow the localizer in slew mode, making sure that the CDI needle is always perfectly aligned, sure enough, a "dead centre" landing as far as the instruments are concerned brings me down way off left or right of the runway.It seemed to me when it first happened that I had a faulty AFCAD, even though the green arrows looked aligned when I looked at the file in AFCAD2.…

Simmers,I accidently deleted the key assignment within FS9 for the joystick hat. I can't pan in the cockpit and in spot view anymore. I have the CH-pro flightsim yoke. Can someone of you give the a way to re-assign my hat to the key assigments?Regards,Jeroen van SchoneveldVelserbroekThe Netherlandshttp://www.captainsim.com/user/dl/b757/752_users_banner.gif http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpgASUS A8N-SLI, AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (2,4 Ghz) San Diego processor, 4Gb DDR 400 Mhz Corsair Mem, ASUS 8800 GTS 640 Mb video

Recently I've lost all grass at default airports. I used Birds EYE View recently and default grass was lost. I erase the program default files were put back and still no grass. Could someone tell me which files replaces default grass. I have a copy of all original files for FS2004.

Hello AllI recently learnt how to copy and paste cabin lights that have the necessary alpha channel(from one plane to another) so that the cabin lights didn't switch off when you turn the landing lights off.My next step in this learning curve is to add alpha channel to the tail light.I cant copy and paste as none of the other models i am using have tail lights with alpha.So can someone kindly tell me how to add the necessary alpha using DXTBitmap program?The reason i ask this is because some of my models have rather nice tail lights,BUT they (like my cabin lights did) switch of when i turn landing lights off.cheers Andy

does anyone know were can i get all the runway 12 libraries???

I'm hoping somebody may be able to guide me in the right direction with a problem I've been having. I downloaded the PSPanels 737NG panel and attached it to POSKY's 737-700. It worked perfectly for three sessions; now I can't get any radio comms.I had already followed the instructions in the manual.pdf about adding the electrical line, and adding the Adf2, both in the aircraft.cfg.Can anyone give me a new idea?

Hi.I have just watched the latest video from the above, and think that what they have done is impressive to say th least.Now if only we could have something like that for FS9.1, that would really be remarkable.http://www.shockwaveproductions.com/store/shockwavelights/Thoughts ?

If you are wondering if AI traffic will follow the "checkerboard" approach at the old Kai Tak - I am pleased to say that they do!I made a test set of flightplans this morning using default 737 and 747 aircraft. Out and backs from Kai Tak did NOT work - the aircraft flew into the mountains every time.When I set up flights from ZGSZ (about 20 minutes away) they performed beautifully. The 747 lands a bit to the left of the runway but what the hey - any landing you can walk away from is a good one!The 737 behaved a bit better.Note: I was using the default afcad which is already installed in the 9Dragons package.I watched from the ground, from a nearby highrise and best of a…

Sometimes when atc talks I get a little hiccup. Is this due to anyting that I can fix or just hardware? Does sound quality render FPS?(the sound setting on the toolbar).One last question. Does anyone know how to make the spoilers automatically deploy upon touchdown on the PMDG 737.Thanks, Alex

If so, how about the company and their product?I've been waiting for something to ruin my braking on wet runways. :)

HEEELLLPPPP!!!Going absolutely insane, after creating a flight (any airport, any aircraft), about a minute into the flight, my FS9 would quit unexpectedly (no messages), it would just disappear!I have made the update for FS9.Any ideas, pleaaaseeee :(

I am working on a flight monitoring application to monitor aircraft and flightplan.Here is an early version of a flight with a cessna 172http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/test2.htmland early version of flight with Level-D 767http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/test7678.htmlThe above reports have several errors in them that have been corrected since.Basically you can manually select departure/arrival airports, runways, cruise altitude etc or you can build a flight plan with fsbuild and save it to a text file. This is then loaded and all the info is read and the flight is then compared against the data produced in fsbuild.You can choose which airc…

G'dayI have been bedevilled by a problem in FS that I don't know how to resolve so I thought I would come to the oracle and seek advice from the wisest gurus - you.From time to time and without warning FS will suddenly reload scenery objects etc. in mid flight causing such things as dusk to turn to night in the twinkling of an eye, AI to re-spawn (looks like a firework burst as AI head off in different directions)and the clock to reset sometimes an hour forward and sometimes an hour back depending on the direction of flight.Does anyone know a solution to this annoying feature?TksAybe http://www.jdtllc.com/images/rcv4bannerbeta.jpg

Hi folks,In short... I'm fed up with FS9!

HI, I'm on Vista Ultimate 64bit with fs9. Now when I alt tab out of the sim to mess with active sky or what not or say I want to bring up FSUIPC , everytime the sim opens up a window it is hidden. I have to alt tab out then tab back into the sim which gives me a black screen and if I move my mouse around it will bring the window that FSUIPC opens into view. Its really wierd. Any help would be appreciated

Hi. Could someone kindly explain what the relationship is, if any, between 1) the area number "Area.XXX" in square brackets, and 2) the line "Layer=", both in the scenery.cfg file of course, with the priority order in which scenery appears in the Scenery Library, within FS9 settings?It would sometimes be useful to be able to be able to add scenery without going into FS9, but I never know what to put for these values so that the priority ends up as I want it in the FS Scenery Library. Or perhaps it is not possible that way?Thanks,Martin
