The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hey everyone, just want to make an announcement as I am starting to see emails asking about a missing part. There are only FOUR parts total to 9Dragons V2:9Dragons Pilot

Firstly my FS2004 is extremely serious business, I have a total of 110 gigs dedicated to my system in every sort of payware and freeware, all the major payware addons, all UT, BEV, FS Genesis Mesh, etc etc.My last successful addon was the 9Dragons Hong Kong scenery, tested everything was working well except remenant AI traffic all over the place, still needed to be fixed.Somewhere along the way a problem is now occuring when I now try to launch fs9 and it starts to go to work, the mouse hour glass keeps flipping and I await the create flight screen, which never comes up, after about 3-5 minutes of chugging away all goes quite....I check my windows task manager, fs9 is sho…

Good Morning,I had to extract the org fs9 voice pak from the cd and start from scratch, do to my error. I have saved all my editvoicepak updates in one directory, after i re-installed editvoicepak and proceeded to update with the voicepaks, i began to receive many, many duplicate errors, within editvoicepak. I never had an issue with this before, and nothing was added or remmoved form my pak folder. Any ideas as to why the duplicate errors?PaxBrad

I need some help. I'm redoing a stock airport in FS9 because its original placement in the world is off. I have remade the airport using correct coordinates and reshaped the taxiways etc...However, now the default scenery objects (buildings, radar etc...) are either in the middle of the taxiway or offset from where I need them. Is there a way to eithera.) change their positionORb.) delete them and start overI'm using AFCAD2 to do this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!Jon

I'm having a ball with the Level-D 767 9Dragons livery in and out of Kai Tak. Thank you so much to the creators of which!My only issue is that the paint job keeps going 'blurrey' (DXT3?). I've fixed this before with DXTBmp, but now can't remember how.There's a splendid simple (for the likes of me) tutorial somewhere, I just can't find it. Can any point me in the right direction please?Many thanks

Can't find the solution to this one on my own;I don't know what I installed but all the grass textures (grass field textures, airport grounds only) remain green even in winter. Airports like Toronto which should show snow at this time of year, stay green. It only happens on the airport grounds - once beyond the perimeter the snow texures return. I've been looking around for textures to replace but haven't been able to find any that do this. Does anyone know which file it is in the global texture folder? Thanks a lot...- daniel

I have installed and set up "convertpln.zip" as instructed for Ingo Stoeckel's Tool to convert Flightplans from FS-NAV to ifly-747-400.Installation and useage instructions are as follows:"This tool was developed only for my private using and so I dont needany Installroutine. But many people asked me for this tool.So I've uploaded it in the way it is and so you have to "frickle" it now into your iFly..:)Install==========1)Copy the content of this ZIP-File into your "..FS2004(FSX)iFly747-400" Folder2)go to the "..FS2004(FSX)iFly747-400ConvertPLN"-Folder and open the File "convert_FSNav_iFly.cfg"3)Edit the path to your correct Flightplanfolder for the iFly-FMC as you can see…

Has anyone been able to get the engines to start on this bird?I've tried the directions and everything I can think of but she won't fire up. I know it's a complicated addon and that's cool but I can't get any spark out of those Olympusses..

I probably made an error during posting my questions since I cannot find it anymore in the forums, so I repeat my question:I have the impression that the airliners (e.g. PMDG 737NG, Maddog 2006, PSS 757 etc. etc.) have too big a turn radius. So, I have big troubles at e.g. Innsbruck west approach when coming from east and doing that 180 deg turn.Are turn radii correctly modelled and only my impression is wrong?Andreas

Hi, i have a problem. If the irl time pass 1 min my FS time only passes 50 sec.I have also tried to use "FS real time", but that didnt help.Has anyone had the same problem or does anyone have a sollution?! Thanks for the help in beforehand/Niklas

Hi,I downloaded a new bizjet here on AVSIM and I really want to like it but for one thing - the sound of the engines in flight have a short gap of silence in the looping that just screws me into the ceiling. The plane is a LiderDesigns Gulfstream V. The sounds are very nicely done and I'd like to keep them. Can somebody point me to a site that has details on how sounds work? I have never dealt with the sound.cfg before and it's all Greek to me. Is there some setting that controls loop time or something like that? It is as if the set time to play the .wav is longer than the .wav is itself. Is this possible?Thanks in advance,dolph

I just ran across the website for FS Build and it looks interesting. But I've been using FS Nav for years. Any feedback from you folks on one vs. the other?

I guess they're not selling FS Nav anymore so help with them is limited. Anyone know how to save "user created" waypoints into FS Nav so that they are not deleted when the new database is loaded each month?I've input the Supersonic NAT's that Concorde used but most of the waypoints are not in the database as they are just fixes. I've save these plans but the waypoints will deleted later this month when I input the monthly update.Thanks,

Another new-guy question. Am pretty new to FS9 and would like to learn to work with AI traffic. What manuals, tutorials, and the like do I need to get/study in order to do this? Jon

Anybody know why my screen does this when I bring up the kneeboard?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/184216.jpgAMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 3800+NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

I wondered if any of you guys would be able to help me with this one.I cant get the ai-aardvark Boeing 737-700 to work, I've tried with two different airlines, on two computers, but it won't work.I've checked that the names, model references and such match, but I'm unable to find a solution, except for downloading a Project AI plane, but I would prefer to avoid that

Ah, too bad, been using their products since the 767PIC days, no choice but to skip the FS10 stuff due to FS10 performance reasons...I wonder how the FS10 addon market is doing. Feel bad about the whole situation, seems the market split into two.------------1 February 2008Level-D Simulations is developing the 757 for FSX. There will be no further announcements about its development until such time as the developers choose to post information about the 757 for FSX. There will not be a FS9 version of the 757.Please do not post any new threads about the 757 as they will be removed.Sincerely,Daryl ShuttleworthLevel-D SimulationsSupport & Documentation------------------

There's about a year left before the TV broadcasting system changes over to digital. I am considering the big step of bitting the bullet and buying an HDTV LCD 720p in the 32" inch range. Contrast ratio will be a prime consideration in the decision.Since my computer is in the same room as my tv I was wondering if anyone is using their HDTV for flight sim because they do come with a VGA connection.This is one more consideration that might just kick me over the line into buying.thanks

Hi Simmers,Abacus Software has released a Fly-before-Buy Consolidated PBY5A Catalina over at their site (she is available for FSX and FS2004) - http://www.abacuspub.com (end of sales pitch )What is important is that I have released another three texture sets for those that have this aircraft and would like to try out some different liveries on her.Totally Free downloads available at my site - http://www.gjsmith.net - hit the Catalogue button and scroll down to the Catalina - and away you go - 6 free liveries there now.The three new releases are: TAA Sunbird Services, a RNoAF military, and a fictitious TAA with newer livery theme and some fun artwork.Pics of additional li…

My girlfriend has just bought a new laptop about 6 weeks ago, and now she wants to learn to fly (after seeing me, of course ;)). So, I installed FS2004 in her laptop... but I find the performance unacceptable.Here are the specificationsDell Inspiron 1420Core 2 Duo T5250 @ 1.5 GHz (Merom) CPU1.5 GB RamIntel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100Windows Vista Home PremiumI can only get 13 FPS at KSEA:(, with almost all sliders at Medium or Low, when running in windowed mode at 1024 x 768 (energy set at high performance, laptop connected to AC, using Windows Classic theme, FPS unlocked).

I've done an exhaustice Internet search for the waypoints of these tracks so I can use them for my FS9 Concorde flights. I see plenty of references to the tracks but can't get the actual waypoints. Can someone direct me?Thanks

I know its possible to get FSnav to display other aircraft during multi-player sessions, but is it possible for it to display the positions of the AI aircraft?

Not sure how many people know about this..but Quality Wings has realeased the beta version of their long awaited 757 and in my opinion it's SOOO SEXY!! I've seen nothing about it in the forums so i decided to let people know.. www.qualitywings.net Get it..Payware is coming out soon..and ill be sure to get it. CHECK IT OUT

Is it possible to use FSX default scenery on FS2004?Bill
