The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

i have looked at the boieng 314 clipper available on simmarket .http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=394it is available in two versions :- one is the online LE version that includes 2 clippers and 4 waterbases for about 15euros- the other is the V2 edition which ( from the description ) seems to contain 10 more waterbases for an addditional 25euros .now , are there any deeper differences between the two downloads and is the V2 version worth the additional 25euros asked for ?thanks

I have been testing fs9 with traffic 2005 and come to the conclusion apart from reducing fps it also dramtically increases stutters, these stutters tend to be very big at a major hub like heathrow Now if you reduce traffic from say 69% to 39% the stutters reduce a lot on landing but is still there.I would like to know which part of a PC hardware might make an impact on performance to reduce these stutters?Would it me GPU memory?GPU stream lines, ie., 24, 112, 128system memory speed?CPU FSB?ETC, ETC..lokking at this way, without traffic 2005 it runs clean no real stutters, so what have we added, more CPU, HDD or GPU memory requests?krishan

Hello. I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.I bought Walk and Follow 3 days ago, requested activation, and still haven't received a reply. Apparently, I'm not alone as someone else from a different forum I asked on has been waiting for a few weeks with no response. And it also seems that IGFly doesn't respond to e-mails. So my question is, did I just buy an addon that I will never be able to activate, or is there a different way or avenue to activate it (legally of course)?

I have installed the 9 Dragons.....many thanks to the producers of this fantastic scenery.I am using the SID/STAR file for PMDG that came with the scenery in my 737. However when I select the IGS approach on the FMC ....after CH it has the GOLF waypoint , but is picking up another waypoint 4,000 NM away, not the one at KAI TAK !!!How can I correct this ?Peter

Hi allI am having real trouble finding any AI models. I have just got a new PC and am in the proces of manually putting my AI on there, but I cant find hardly any aircraft models on the net on in libraries like avsim. I started last week anhd since then I have only been able to fully install 1 airline (Emirates) as all the models and textures I found with no problem from the-fruit-stand.com (downloaded form the avsim library). On my old PC I had loads of AI models but cant find them for download on the library (or anywhere else). I am looking for:FS Painter modelsAI Aardvark modelsEVAI Repaints It seems if I download a model I then cant find the texture for the airline I …

Can someone read that thread please and try to help:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=142864&page=To summarize, I get random loss of magnetic declination. I get 298 HDG when sitting on KSFO's 28R.I tried almost everything.Maybe my magdec.bgl is corrupt. Can someone send it to me or attach it on this thread?Thank youGhiomkl @ hotmail.comRegards

Hi All,I just got an E-Mail from FFS stating that they are closing. This is part of the message:It is with great sadness to announce that Flight Factory-Simulations will be closing its doors. This is being done due to the lack of time commitments that internal personnel have as well as other reasons beyond our control. FFS thanks your for your patronage over the past few years. It is recommended that if you need an backup copy of any software, you should login to your account and download them in order to save them to a backup source.Too bad, because the Saab 340 was only an update away from being a really nice turboprop.Dale

Hello everyone and happy new year!I just downloaded the new Caribwings Sangster scenery in the library and it looks great. I am running into a few major problems though. It seems as if the default buildings havent been excluded, some textures for the terminals are missing, and the ramp area is flickering and bleeding through. Also, the runway and taxiways shimmer and move slightly from left to right. Very weird:). I am beginning to think this is a problem with the scenery because I went through the basic steps of making sure I dont have any mesh or other scenery conflicting and installed the scenery according to the readme. I would love to know if this is a problem with t…

I can start on the runway at all of the airports in the 9Dragons scenery, but when changing the Time & Season to something else, the 'Loading Terrain' status bar gets to about 15% and then crashed to desktop. Changing Time & Seasons works grand for all other scenery I have. I've not seen a similar post whilst google-ing, perhaps someone here might have an idea why it's happening? I'm using GEPro II, in case it matters. CheersAndy.

Ok this is simple for the AI guys. Im working on a scenery for KBDL and want to put the A-10's on the field where they park. All I want to do is use a nice A-10 AI model and have them show up in parking. Dont need them to fly. Just park on the ramp. Mind telling me how to do that??Thanks!!Hornit

Probably my own fault and willing to write off few euros spent on Wilcos CRJ200 but cant get the panel to show properly - just get the default 737 from what I can seeHave mailed them but due their poor customer service record not expecting any reply - and only few euros anyway so not getting het up about this as Wilco always bit of a gamble Has anyone experience same and any suggetsions?Downloaded the POSKY freeware as well with associated panel but getting black square in bottom centre of the panel.ThanksJohn

Hi,This is a problem I have always had with FS9. It seems to be almost impossible to taxi in a straight line. Sometimes the plane just wants to pull to the right and when I try to correct it it swings wildly to the left I have FS9 and FSX on the same computer and I have no problems at all taxxing in FSX. Once airborne it flys straight and levelI have FSUIPC on each sim and have adjusted sensitivity every way I know.Could someone who does not have this problem post their settings and the procedure they use.I use CH Pro Pedals. Thanks.Jim

Is there any way possible to just delete vhhh and have the 9dragons vhhx as vhhh pretending that it never closed?

Some time ago I got tired of all the bugs with Wilco's Airbus Vol.1 and deleted it from my system. Well I thought I'd try it again (crazy idea, huh) and recently reloaded the latest version, 3b I believe.One of the biggest and most annoying problems I had and one that is still around, is that both the A318 and A319 always end up flying below the gldeslope, and if left to do their own thing would land well short of the runway.Does anyone know of a solution to this problem other than hand-flying the airplane to a landing?Dave

I currently have Ground Enviromnent Pro and the Ultimate Terrain series installed for FS9 and am interested in adding FSGenesis. Is it just a matter of adding it on top of what I already have, or do I have to uninstall Ground Enviromnent Pro and the Ultimate Terrain first? RH

I was just wondering how will the cls a340-600 Get along with my fps, My decsion on buying it kinda rests on the replies My spec is Intel p4 3 ghz 1mb, ati radion 9250 256mb, 160gb hdd and a 256mb of ram ddr. Also is there any reason why i shouldnt buy it, it looks great. Thanks 247

Every three months or so I get some virus or spyware or something that drags my system down, like to the point where moving my mouse cursor across the screen is choppy. My system will take ten minutes or more to boot up, mp3s play in slow mo, etc etc. It's really bad, and I can't figure out what it is or how to get rid of it. Spysweeper didn't find it. Geek squad told me that I had spyware, but didn't clean it and then recommended spysweeper which, like I said, didn't find anything. So anyway, when this happens all I have to do is format my C: drive with windows on it and reinstall windows and install everything all over again, I'm ######, anyway two questions. Has a…

After a storm interrupted my power, I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro, as a clean install, and reinstall Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 from a complete copy I had stored as a "back-up" on an external hard drive. Everything's back to normal and working perfectly, except for one function. I have no afterburners showing from any of the aircraft I ordinarily would see afterburners glowing behind..... I NEED HELP......There are many aircraft effected. All of a sudden, but all other simulator features are working flawlessly. All my A.I. traffic, worldwide sceneries, aircraft textures, and models, many different cockpits and panels, and all my custom weather scenarios, are ALL …

Where can I find stationary aircraft to park on ramps? What kind of acft are required for static parking and where can I find them? What do I do with them when I find 'em? Add them to a library like a building or vehicle object? And add them to the scenery with EZ Scenery or Instant Scenery like any other static object? Do they eat up memory and slow the FPS rate? Sorry to be asking such basic questions, but I just haven't hit the right spot in my search to get the answers on my own. Would appreciate some help! Is there a tutorial somewhere which explains how to do this? Jon B

when i try mouse panning in spot view modeit' doesn't work normally from yesterday.in the mode,mouse wheel zoom works well.but, no panning.then i turn off the 'use mouse in spot view' option,even primary keybord view keys(shift+Nums) don't work wellwith screen shaking or not moving.the other active cam modes work fine.few days ago i had the same problem so i reinstall whole fs9.this time it was no problem first. but, yesterday it occourred again....and i can't find the reason.reinstalling the active cam doesn't work for it.i wonder some add on sceneries can cause that problem withactive cam? anyone has had the similar problem?help me.i've installed :fs9.1active cam 2.1 fo…

I am looking for some advice on upgraded runway and airport textures. I have tried Airport Environment 7 but it becomes a stutterfest for me. Any other frame rate friendly textures you can recommend? thanks,Mark.

Hi.do any of you know how to add Kai Tak as an airport in Servinfo.trying to see if controllers are on is strange, as it does not exist in Servinfo right now.any help appreciated.

I have tried to park on the two multi story car parks roofs as they have apparently been 'hardened' for 'anoraks' such as myself.I slew there,then un-slew but the aircraft sinks through to ground level everytime,and leaving it on slew works but cuts out all sound.Is there another way, or should I just grow up.....regards Jim
