Anyone had an issue with jagged edges on textures like an anti-aliasing problem, after installing either "Diskeeper 2008 Home edition" or "itunes".I have had a noticeable worsening in textures just after installing these two programs. i will uninstall them later today to see if I get back to my previous state.I am using Dell Dimension 8400 with 2 GB RAM; Windows XP Home ; Radeon X800 XT.

Merry Christmas everyone!Unfortunetly my Cristmas wasn't so happy when I saw this situation (picture says it all)!So what is happening here? Why are there two different season themes (when i put the real world weather ON)?This is happening on the 45th parallel in Europe across Balkans, Northern Italy etc.Can someone please tell me where is the problem?Thanks!

Is there a way that I can get the data for the EZ-GPS when I'm on VATSIM so that I can see the other aircraft? Currently it just says "No data". Thanks.

Merry Christmas,Suddenly, every plane in my fs9 installation veers spontaneously in flight to left (abt 15-20

Hi,I just got Fs2004 today.When I click Flight Lessons,Fs2004 crashes to the desktop.Can anyone help me fix this problem ?

Ok, it seems just all of a sudden ALL my aircraft, when tuning my altimiter, HSI, VSI, or OBS, that it turns in increments of 10 in the virtual cockpit. Now, heres a few other things. It DOES NOT do it while on the ground. And, it only happens in the virtual cockpit in the air and after landing. Now, yes, I have heard that this is a Microsoft bug, and that FSUIPC(registered) has a fix for it. Well, guess what, I dont have the money for FSUIPC. I have tried what others have said, reduce my sliders. I have made them all minimal, and it still did not fix it. My CPU load isnt even that horribly high with FS2004 running. This is really bad as i only fly in the VC. Is there ANY…

I've spent about the last hour trying to install the Fokker downloads, to their proper destination, but have not been able to get any of the planes to appear in FS. I read the instructions, extracted the files to either a temp folder, or directly to MSFS9/aircraft. What am I doing wrong??? I've installed other numerous planes. Confused and frustrated!

There is not a lot of information available on fuel burn due to the varioations that occur at different altitudes and speeds. Some folks have asked for average numbers that they can use in Flight Sim programs including Cargo Pilot.Here are some numbers I use in my Virtual Airline:Props Type Class Lbs/Hr $/Hr Light Single 1 55 $ 24.75 PA-28 Light Twin 2 90 $ 40.50 Senaca Medium Single 3 130 $ 58.50 Mooney Medium Twin 4 750 $ 337.50 C-90 DHC-6 Large Single 5 380 $ 171.00 PC-12 Caravan 208B Large Twin 6 1300 $ 585.00 B1900 ATR-42 Large 4-Engine 7 1500 $ 675.00 …

Hey, I just reinstalled FS9 in order to have fun for old times sake (now a student pilot, real life).As soon as i get all done with the setup etc., it loads fine. I can even take off and do a good landing (using slew to be quick to get on final), but always within 3-5 minutes it Crashes to Desktop, no warnings or messages.This is a fresh install, I also updated video Drivers and removed all my addons etc.Any ideas?thanks in advance!

Does anyone know why I'm getting these lines/spots? They seem to appear and stay about the same place. I've ruled out UFO's,and my 7900gs is not overheating(53-55 deg). When I rotate around the a/c,they show up randomly over the right wing and sometime near the aft. I tried lowering mipmap from 4 to 3 but no change.XPS400;WinXP home;2gb Kingston:XFX 7900gs;160hd;Audigy2zs http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182358.jpg

I would like to wish all my fellow AVSIM and FS9 forum members and their families, a most joyous and Merry Christmas, and/or any other holiday observance personally enjoyed at this time of year by they and their families.I also wish all a most ***wonderful Happy New Year***, with much prosperity and health for 2008!Cheers!Mitch R.

I'm just a bit curious about this new Sim, based on the Open Source programing. I took a look at the Aircraft, Scenery, and such, and it seems to be almost as good MSFS9. It might be worth giving it a try, just to see how well it works. Since it's free, there's nothing to loose. Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like -M.Twain

Hi, since yesterday there's a new file in the library, called goosefs9.zip, by Neil Cook.This is the accompanying introductory text:VA Air Taxi International textures for the default fs9 Grumman Goose . Part of the Active Airsource Group can be found here http://www.air-source.us/Default.asp . Air Taxi International are a charter based VA operating from various locations .I'm puzzled: there is no default Goose in FS9 at all, is it? :-hmmm Any idea what he may be refering to?Thanks in advance,best regards.

Hi people, I would like to know if its possible to input the virtual cockpit from the default 747-400(FS2004) in my PMDG Boeing 747-400 aircraft. I already copied the panel files from my default 747 in the PMDG 747 panel folder but I just got an empty sight when I look, for example to the right or left side of my PMDG aircraft. Does somebody know how to do that?Thanks in advance! :)

In another thread here, someone had the outstanding idea of thanking one of the great freeware AI developers for all the hard work they do for us all year, and I wanted to add a few personal thank you's myself:To those people who work so hard at World of AI? A great big THANK YOU to you great people.And let's not forget those genius's over at Project Opensky who do what they do because they love it so much -- and then share it freely with the rest of us: THANKS for all your GREAT free models!And all you designers, painters, customizers, tweakers and freeware developers who upload your work to the AVSIM libraries and give it to us each and every day of the year? THANK YO…

I love my Flight1 Cessna 172 but she seems to lack power on takeoff as compared with the default Cessna 172 model. I just took off in each from St. Bart's, that scary but very pretty little 2100' long field in the Caribbean. The fully tanked Flight1 Cessna achieved 60 knots after eating up about 80%-85% of the runway and after rotating at that speed (with flaps 10), clipped a hedge low down, lost speed on climbout and crashed over the hill. The fully tanked default Cessna in comparison achieved 60 knots at 50-60% of the runway (and in a further test was at 70 knots at the point where the Flight1 Cessna was just scraping 60). So the default Cessna easily made it out (r…

Hi,1. My Auto Throttle does not arm, i've tried almost everything possible it just gives the message on the annunciator 'A/T FIRST'.This is for all models of the 737 including the NG series.I'm using the FS2004.2. When using the FS2004 ATC it almost always directs me away from the flight plan, how to correct this?tks & Merry Christmas

Hi there,my wife is letting me go on a shopping spree for Christmas!!! To make her proud of being married to a simming-nerd I will take her up on that offer and, as usual, by tons of FS9 add-ons....don't have to tell me twice.....;-)What's new this year for us "old" FS9 simmers? I already broke down after years and years and just ordered TrackIR4. Can't wait to try it out.I prefer downloads (just because my wife can't return any unnecessary merchandise this way) and would love to see PMDG's MD11 or Digital Aviations Fokker (please no release date fights here ;-)under the Christmas tree or HD tree. What do you guys plan on getting, doesn't matter if it's boxed products, do…

Can one of the talented painters have a go at doing this livery for the POSKY 757?http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1308518/L/:)

When compiling with TT I get this error messageERROR: A flight plan specifies the airport WY31That airport is not in the Airports.txt fileHowever, the airport IS listed in the Airports.txt file!Any suggestions.Using FS9 and TT v2.02Thank you.

I've posted before about my CTD issue and the Wilco Airbus Vol 2, but unfortunately, the Feelthere team wasn't able to reproduce my CTD with the -1c version of the airbus vol 2. They don't have any third party software installed on their fs9. That is now pointing me to a possible bad scenery file. My question is, is unchecking the addon sceneries I have installed in fs9 enough? Do I need to totally uninstall them from fs9? I don't have any CTD issues with any other aircraft so I would like to start out unchecking all of them to see if that helps and then turn on a few at a time but wanted to make sure I didn't need to do anything else. To make it an accurate test, I wante…

all, I have just recently stared having the dreaded BSD ,...I am running windows vista 32bit ..the error messges seem to have to do with my videocard driver so i installed the latest driver for my card (ATI radeon x1550)..howver on the first flight no less than 10 mims in and the same thinhg happned .....I really am not that knowledgeable about computers, videocards,wetc and my system was running fine since I bought it 6 months ago specs are :inter dual core 2.5 GHZ, 2 MB of ram, ati radeon X1550.....i am not that familiar with the video card specs..is it possible it does not have enough memory to run fs9 with vista? but like i said everything was fine until recent…

I sometimes get a radio morse beeping start up, like the sound when the radio finds an ILS signal for instance, which then never stops. I am currently flying an Airbus a340 (though it happens with a number of a/c) from EGLL to OMDB and this *!@*!! beeping has been going on for over 45 minutes now. It's like Chinese water torture.Any ideas how I can stop it? I tried changing NAV1, NAV2 (also standby frequencies for both) & ADF frequencies, but to no avail. The radio on my panel has an 'off' button: the lights go out, but the beeping goes on. What other sources could there be that create this morse-like beeping in FS9?Tried reloading the a/c - beeping still there every …
