The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I'm looking for a plane that when you look to the left or right views, you can see the wing and engines. Can anyone link me to that? I would like an A380 or B777 like that. Or even B747.

Got my Vista PC this week with tongue in cheek. To my surprise, it loaded the legacy programs I had been running on XP. Great, I thought. On to loading FS9.Loaded FSNav, FS Genesis World Mesh, UT, Active Sky V6, 74 scenery program, 100+ aircraft, all of the WO of AI folders, etc. Same menu as I had on my old Athlon 1.4, 40GB HD, 1 GB of memory and a 128mb ATI card. Had a slight slide show effect from time to time, which is why I upgraded to a new PC with a 2.8 Athlon 64 5600, 250GB HD, 4GB of memory and a 512mb GEforce 8500 GT card.Started FS9 and couldn't even get through the opening screen when I got the "Your PC has run out of memory" window. WHAT? This is absurd. Virt…

Yes folks, once again our favorite commercial developer has burned the midnight oil to give us yet another release JUST before Christmas!!!The FSX C-130 is out! (just the base pack).That makes 3 products they have managed to release BEFORE the 757 remaining blocks that they PROMISED would be next. :-rollThis of course is great news for FSX users (until they actually try to fly it, as I'll bet it's loaded with little bugs they didn't get fixed, but wanted to rush out the door to get those all-important Christmas sales). And the best news is that it's only 39.99 ERUO, which is $57.40 for us in the US. :-boom That applies to everyone, no discounts for loyal CS customers wh…

I'm curious to know if there is a way to "display/hide" the map in fs2004 with a single key. Right now I have it to open with the "comma" key,but in order to close it,I must move the mouse pointer to the "ok" and click it closed. A minor inconvenience at the most I know,however I was just curious if there is another way.Thanks!Skip d

Hello AllYesterday i was hunting through Airsouce flights for something a bit different and found what i was looking for in there Classic flights section.I t was a Pan Am flight (VIDP-OIII) and for no other reason other than i like the old Pan Am livery i scooted of to POSKY and downloasded there 747/200 Pan Am model.That was the good news. I soon found after takeoff that this particular model was unusable ie switching from 2D cockpit view to virtual cockpit view(no actual virtual cockpit)would produce a lag of about three seconds before the sim could be used again(mini lockup)as the flight progressed my irritation increased until i decided i had had enough and switched t…

I am a quite long time FS9 user, gone through several PC reinstalles, FS cleanings etc., but now I am in a complete failure. I reinstalled the OP system partition on my PC again, but now I can not run FS9 either freshly installed or from the saved directory. It can be started in safe mode, but not in normal mode. It starts up, shows the introductory screen, but quits without any messages before the main menu screen.I had not changed my original hardware and even the operating system is the same. Other 3rd party software on the PC had changed a bit: for example Nero 8 is new.MSI K7N2Delta-ILRS Socket ATX motherboardAMD XP Palomino 200/2 CPU1GB 400MHz DDR RAMWindows XP Prof…

I downloaded the incredible Ready For Pushback 747-200 a short while ago, and I am finding the retro-style autopilot rather troublesome.I've read the manual but it really is as clear as mud, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.Here is an enlarged picture of the autopilot, so I can explain it easier:http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i223/jon...leAutopilot.jpgI know that to engage IAS hold, I have to set the EPR to climb thrust, but once I activate the auto-throttle and press the Speed hold button it's not holding the speed. I got it to hold IAS once before, so I've got the feeling I'm missing somethingI also need help with setting the Autopliot to climb. After…

Hi All!I took time off from my usual schedule of FSX hating and bashing to do something useful. I cooked up a .tod file for UTOPIA and the TinMouse.This file assumes JT8D-17R engines, such as on the Delta model. It also assumes Packs Off takeoff.An interesting note is that I didn't make this the way I was supposed to; rather, I found some 737-200 runway length/weight/flap graphs and converted this data into a .tod. I've done several takeoffs and it looks good.To use it, do your usual UTOPIA stuff. When UTOPIA gives you an answer, plug this into the degrees C of the thrust computer thingy. Then use the EPR it specifies and off you go. (It only does Flap 5 because I ha…

Did anybody save this zip file (fsmgr.zip) from the short time it was available, that you could email me? It's nowhere to be found anywhere in the usual reputable places, here or on the net, and I really need a good add on manager -- My system is getting a bit clogged. BTW, I can't find it on that 'other' site, as recommended in all the threads here, either. IM me please if you can help. Thanks for any help you can provide.Happy Holidays!Chuck B

HiI wondered if anyone could help me obtain a single JFK airport for FS9.I know that world Airport 2 has them, but I also have the LAX, PHX, IAD scenery already installed, it would be a shame not to get just JFK and pay full price for airports I already have installed on my system.I looked on Simflyers and they no longer have it available to purchase.Any help much appreciated.Thanks

Good Day to All,A little help please. I make many changes to my Scenery.cfg file as my list of Add-on Scenery is now over 300..... I have noticed that over the last few days each time I add something new the following entry shows up in the scenery.cfg file.GeneralClean_on_Exit=TRUEWith this entry in the file each time I start FS9 I get the

Is there a command I can assign to the keyboard to open the overhead and/or Radio panels? I've made a minipanel for this that I fly from a lot and I have to mouse click on the icons or cycle through pressing the "W" key to get to the needed panel.Thanks in advance to the group.Chuck

Hi, using SBuild, I want to lower the terrain just a little bit on a small area to make an underpass on a highway (and many more after). Anyone can help me doing this?Thanks!Marc Paquette

Hello EveryoneLong-Time Flight simmer, first time posterAre you tired of having to open and close FS to add new scenery? Because I have a solution which does nor involve an exe. installer. When you add the scenery to the Addon Scenery or Scenery folder, open up scenery.cfg in the main fs folder.Let's say you want to add Siamavsim's VTBS2006 scenery. Take note of the number between brackets in the above entry. Now lets say the above scenery is No. 150. Type in a new entry:[Area.151] (The number that comes after the one above)Title=VTBS (The name of the folder)Local=Addon SceneryVTBS (The location of the folder)Active=TRUE (Make sure TRUE is in capital letters)Required=FALS…

I own FSX but all my flying is still done in FS9 and XP Home.I am now in the process of getting a new PC and have decided against Vista and I will have XP as OS for the new rig. Now I need advice about the main difference between XP home and Professional, purely from a FS9 point of view. Is there an advantage performancewise? The new machine will have Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.5 Ghz processor.

Hi,I've created a few checklist in the past (Level-D's 767-300ER, PMDG's 737-NG Series, PMDG's 747-400, and Feelthere's PIC 737-300/400/500 Series aircraft). I just finished a checklist for Dreamfleet's 727 100/200 Series aircraft and I need some help. I need someone who knows the 727 and is familiar with the procedures associated with this aircraft, I need you to evaluate my checklist and help me correct any errors.If you are interested in helping, please PM me.Thank You

Hello all, I have a question about getting started with the whole AI world.To a new guy it is confusing.Is there any current text I can read up on or any files I can download to start flying with AI around me.I would like to know some of the basics of adding AI aircraft.I am using FS2004.ANY help would be great!!!Thanks,Matt

I made a flight from KBFI to KHIO in the Carenado C182RG with FSPassenger. I have now made it twice and in both cases it crashed during the same point which is after landing and after I have left the runway. Is this pure coincidence? Or can my setup be badly configured? I have UT USA and FZ02 portland and FSGenesis mesh. The crash starts with the screen going black and then the computer tries reading both harddrives and CD units and then a message that FS9 has encountered a problem and needs to be terminated. After this I made a short circuit from KHIO and that didn't crash FS9.I haveAsus A8V deluxe mbAthlon 64 3200+ cpu1 Gb RAMNVIDIA 6600GT 256M DDR3 video cardWin XP hom…
