The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi GuysSorry to sound so dim - but guess that's just what a am at the moment. I need your help....?I've been trying to find the original Tinmouse II, and the original Kittyhawk 737-200 models.All I seem to come up with are textures for either, or the great panel from Bob Scott.If anyone has thew original file names or links, i'd be most grateful.thanks

Since I discovered FSHostSpy (http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshostspy/) I RARELY ever play single player any more.I was curious how many of you play online versus single? What server do you use more often than the others? Do you typically hook into VATSIM?

Hi folks!I just installed one more airfield scenery and a GA traffic addon specially designed for it. Everything works fine so far.But now some (not all) of the AI a/c contained in this traffic addon and that are NOT intended for flying (except for AI...) also show up in the FS9 a/c selection list and I hate that ;-)Is it possible to prevent them from showing up in the a/c list without removing them for AI traffic?Thanx for help!J.R.

I have got AI traffic to work in the 9 Dragons Kai Tak scenery - moved VHHH AI to VHHX with Ultimate Traffic. The problem is I have plenty of departing planes but no arrivals at any time of day - can anyone help me with this problem. Thanks for any help in advance.

Sometimes when I load FS9, my magnetic heading is way off what it should be (sometimes by as much as 90 degrees). It does not appear to be a panel problem, because I've verified it using Shift-Z.When I exit Flight Simulator and then immediately restart FS, the problem disappears.Has anyone else experienced this problem?I am running FS9 on Vista with: Intel Core2 Quad CPU @ 2.93GHz, 4Gb RAM, Nvidia 8800 Ultra 768mb, 1tb HD.Cheers,Bryn.

Hello,Does anybody have any ides what is causing this. At the two airports mentioned above, I no longer have any scenery but the AFCADS work and the airports are selectable. I do not have any visible runways, buildings or tarmac - just a bunch of ai sitting in a field. Auto gen and city scenery are visible in the areas not covered by the airport scenery.My scenery.cfg is clean and the scenery I installed was 9 Dragons and some of the Overland Japanese airports. I just can't figure out was happened. I can post my config if needed.Cloud 9 LAX is fine (although I seem to be experiencing some runway bleed through). I also checked the other Fly Tampa airports and they are fine…

Does anyone know where to get ai traffic packages for airlines worldwide(north and south america, europe, africa, asia, australia, middle east) for the 1970s and 1980s period?

When i set my weather (default weather) to heavy rain or snow, the aircraft (doesn't matter which either) loses the auto pilot speed setting. For instance, i'll be flying at 280 ias and the indicator all of a sudden goes to zero. I cant control the speed via auto pilot and, obviously, i overshoot the airport on final at high speed. I can set the auto pilot speed to whatever and it doesn't take. If i clear the weather or set the rain to light or medium, i don't ave this problem.Anyone have this little bug happen? I don't set my weather like that very much but it would be nice to fly in a torrential rain storm. lol

I know a lot of times I get e-mails with coupons and I usually delete them. I want to purchase the GoFlight Landing Gear, Trim, Flap Module but figured I would see if anyone had any coupons before I purchased :)Tom, I really hope this post isn't violating any forum rules.

Hello:I know I have seen this somewhere, but a search hasn't helped me. I noticed recently that on approach(during replay) that my aircraft are trailing what looks like smoke straight down toward the ground and even when on the ground. This is not the same as the snow effect that FS has during the winter in the north. I don't remember when it started. Like I said above, I have seen this on the forums before but, I don't know which one. Either way, a search of the forums got me nothing.Does anyone remember what the fix is for this?Thanks RichardS

I installed AI Smooth version 11.1a as instructed (put both files in module folder). Yet it still does not seem to be linked to FS9 in any way. I made a desktop shortcut to AISmooth and can get it to initialze, but nothing seemed to happen with a couple of flight attempts. Is there supposed to be something showing up in the pull-down menue? What else is supposed to be done to get this thing running besides simply placing the two files in the modules folders?Thanks!

Hi FolksI posted a week or so ago about wanting to start flying long haul. I have getting some things that have been recommmended one of which was the MELJET 777-200. Looks great and I currently have it in BA colours. I am just after some opinions as far as the sound and the panel go.Well as far as sound goes I am downloading the 777rr trent series from the library but I have been looking for a panel and see that there are so many to choose from. Has anyone got any good panel recommendations for this aircraft?Thanks

I know this has been asked many times but I am having trouble finding the threads.What is the best way to have two installations of FS9 on the same PC? I have a free drive for the installation but I also want to be able to install FE, GE and AS6.5 on the new installation.The new installation will be used for a retro FS world.

Hello allI am using World of AI for my AI traffic, and I was wondering if anyone knows if when installing a updated version of a particular package if you have to delete the previous version, or does the installer automatically take care of that for you?ThanksScott

hi everyone,I'm adjusting sounds for my planes and I want to turn around a sound so that the sound is played from back to front (I'm dutch so I hope you understand what I mean). but my program does not have that adjustment. So, does anybody know a program (I hope freeware) that does have that adjustments?;)I hope somebody knows,much grtzz,Kai

Hi AllI added a new bay and a new runway @ VIDP and AI Aircrafts appear fine on the parking bay. However.1. The parking bay is close to this new runway 18, however, any AI aircraft there wont taxi to it or any other runway, they jut keep disappearing after a short while and new ones come there. Any idea why ?2. This new runway i've made is connected via a taxiway C1,C2 which also goes ahead to connect to another taxiway connecting to Runway 27(default one)Now if i start from a gate at this new bay and ATC tells me to goto runway 18 by default but does'nt give any taxiway directions and no progressive taxi is available. However if i request Runway 27, it has progressive ta…

Since installing 9 Dragons I am getting CTD at VHHX. The error message from windows says the problem is with UTIL.dll (in FS9 Modules)This happens on about 75% of flights. Sometimes when about 4 NM DME on the IGS. Always when trying to move to another airport (menu ...go to airport). And it will happen if I use the Ctrl-W keys to view other AI planes in the area.I have checked my install very carefully, and I have no other conflicting scenery. I have double checked for rogue AFCADs.I am running FS9 (9.1) with Active SKY and Ultimate Traffic. The CTD happens with default planes as well as addons. I have discovered if I turn traffic slider to 0 % traffic I DO NOT get the CT…

Hi all.I have totally reinstalled FS9 (from zero) and I don't have installed any add on's. The problem is that if I click on "create a flight" and after on "fly now!" is all ok, but if I click on "select a flight" FS freeze, and the same problem when, inflight, i try to open menu "flight" and click on "select a flight": anyone can help me? Many thanksMaichan

Would like to add some trim sounds to the CS 707. Have the sound file I want to use. Placed it into the sound folder (figured it would not be that easy) and it did not work. Is there a way to get it into the panel? Thanks,Joe

I recently purchased this package. When I looked for repaints, I surprisingly found nothing. I even posted in the Aerosim forum looking for repaints and I did not get any responses leaving me with the impression that very few people have purchased it. Perhaps this package is a little under the radar?IMHO, if you like "light" payware aircraft and you are looking to stock up on some commercial props, I highly recommend this package.It includes:DH6Dash 8 Q400Saab 340all with sound, 2d panel and vc. The vc's are decent - on the same level as CLS and the Aerosim L1011.http://www.aerosim.co.jp/eigo/a-product_e/...e/PL1_2k4_e.htmBTW, if anyone know where to find some repaints, a…

Hi all.I am suffering from pauses in FS9, it ain't what it used to be. I bought a Dell XPS 420 over the Christmas break and for a couple of weeks FS9 ran like a dream, absolutely no pausing or stutters. Then all of a sudden one day last week it started having extremely slow frame rates - less than 10FPS and no matter what I did it continued to run slow. So I uninstalled and reinstalled FS9 and very carefully added back some of the addons that I had before when it was running smooth. I can get 30FPS (locked) but the pauses continue. I reinstalled my video drivers, I checked for background services that might be impeding fs9. Nothing.I don't want to go into lengthy lists of…

Hi all, I'm using the Albuquerque photoreal scenery as well as a downloaded airport for KABQ, I'm having a problem of the ground scenery showing instead of taxiways and runways and what not, is there a way to solve this so the airport sits on top of the scenery instead of what seems to be the other way around. In using Las Vegas photoreal scenery I find it to not be a problem because the scenery resolution is so good, but in the Alb. photoreal scenery it's not quite as good so it pretty much just looks like a big blur.Thanks!Jeff

To 737 pilotsRecently had a great experience 'flying' a 737-800 in a simulatorat Darling Harbour, Sydney,AuAfter using up all my nervous energy concentrating on flying between Sydney(YSSY)and Melbourne (YMML) I forgot to clarify whether you can actually steer (or have limited steering capibilities) using the rudder pedals (and not the tiller) on the real aircraft taxing to the lineIn this simulator I was actually steering with the rudder pedals and did not use the tiller????????.I thought the pedals were only used when you had sufficient speed for the rudder to become effective on takeoffComment appreciatedHugh EdwardsBadbiggles

To improve my visual experience, I'm looking for advice on what you think the best Terrain Mesh is for FS9. What do you use and why?
