Does anyone know where I can find the SMS 737-800 in an ATA sceme? I have looked everywhere, but can't seem to find it. Actually, has it even been done? If not, maybe someone could take a wack at it. Thanks and much info appreciated.-Nick733Lover

Hi all:Does anyone know the difference between the two sets of night lighting textures? (i.e. 049b2lm5.bmp) it's found in the main texture directory but is also found in the sceneryworldtexture folder as well.I don't believe every file is there twice but I have at least 175 night lighting texture files that are found in both directories.When does the system use them and why would there be 2 of the same file(s)?Thanks Paul.

Back from my hols and ready to get myself deeper into FS (he he)! I fear that since I last used FS9 everything has become very dated (scenery, AI flight plans, AI texture

Until recently I thought my max zoom factor in FS2004 was 0.31, a figure I settled on in using Triplehead2Go with 3 LCDs. However when loading flights in the VC of the PMDG 747-400, I observe it is actually 0.26 which is amazingly low--and an even more realistic field of vision on my large screens. However, the thing is that once I hit the + key to make it 0.31, I cannot hit the - key to go back down to 0.26. But if it starts at 0.26, surely I should be able to do so somehow or other? Or not? What controls the maximum zoom factor ?Jonathan

Did'ja ever try to keep your Addon scenery Alphabeticly? Now Windows Explorer does it automatically when renaming or adding a file to your list. But Flight Sinulator takes this info and puts it at the top of the list and allows you to select the level you want to place it. You can move it UP or Move it Down, but only one line at a time. It just Kills me to have to hit the Move down Tab continuosly to get Airport X01 to it's place in the Roster 250 times. Couldn't we have a Page Down Key to speed up the Process? There Now, I have spouted my Venom about Microsoft and I feel relieved. I haven't checked out FSX yet. Is it the Same? Please some Genius add a Page Down / Page …

HI:This has probably been asked before but I can't find it. I'm new to using DXTBMP (at least for modifying files).I now have the latest version of it.I have a texture file that is 1024 X 1024 - 16 bit - and I want to shrink it down to 256 X 256 - 16 bit or 256 colors using DXTBMP - this I'm not sure how it's done.It's currently DXT1 format so like to keep it that format.Could someone please lend me a helping hand - thanks.Paul.

There is a new version of Alpha Sim's B-36 (v1.1) . You can get it by contacting Alpha Sim and send proof of purchase of the original version and they will send you the passwords to download the new version. The sound of those 6 radial engines will almost make you cry. jerrycwo4

I've always been able to open and close the doors on all my installed aircraft, both freeware and payware with "Shift/E" without problems. But, now I find I can't open or close doors on any of my installed aircraft? A message strip still appears above on most aircraft screens saying "doors opening or closing", but the doors don't move. I've looked over several aircraft cfg. files and the open/exit coding appears to be in tack. Not sure what to look in the FS9 cfg. file? Does anyone have an idea what I might have done wrong or need to do to correct this problem? I only recently discovered this problem, as I don't routinely open/ close doors during flights. I have proberly …

Does anyone know of a download or CD for the Aeronca Champ? I thoroughly enjoy flying FS 2004's Piper Cub, but would also like to fly the Champ. I've flown both of the real ones. The Champ is a good trainer and is flown solo from the front seat, to boot.Thank you.--Roger

Ciao,can you tell me wich are the best video settings (AA ..etc) using the video card 8800GTX 760Mb???And what can "Enhancer" do??Where it can be DL?ThanxPAco

I read in one of the posts about a program that adds much more detail to the MM, and is added to the kneeboard.........I loaded the base program and now get the map, but it is of the world (the airplane location is shown), but there are considerable steps required to put the detail into this to make it work like a MapQuest......that is where I am at a loss to get further into this install...If this really works,it will be an incredible addition to VFR flying!!......SO, question is, where are the details and has anyone got this up and running?? Will appreciate comments, good and bad.........Many thanks, B42L8

Hi all. Am rapidly enjoying filling up the new Aerosoft LHR scenery with AI. But am getting very frustrated as there seems to be a limit to the number of a/c that are displayed. I have trebble checked that I have installed the aircraft correctly, checked the Traffic tools files are correct. But some aircraft just will not appear. Have tried with several models. Is there a limit or a file one can modify to increase the amount visible.Thanks in advance for any help.Matt

I just recently downloaded Rio de Janeiro V8 from the library. It's a pretty good freeware package covering the Rio area, but I was wondering what other sceneries my be even better than this, free or payware? I already have traffic for the area, so that is already covered. I did notice another package in the library called Mega Rio part 1 and 2, but didn't d/l yet due to the file sizes. Anyone try this package yet? I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.Sean

Hello, Im considering purchasing the CLS DC-10 package, however when I look through the avsim library there does not seems to be many extra liveries for this package. I currently have SGA DC-10s and practically all their liveries, however I know that SGA 10s have been around for some time now. Does anyone know if there are painters currently working on more paints for these fine birds?Thanks,Bill

Not five minutes ago I was climbing through FL290 on my way up to FL390 from Houston to MHTG, and *BAM!!!!!!!!* there's my desktop. I was using the PMDG 737-700. This happens to me a lot! Does anyone have any ideas?Jeff

Hi all, I changed the wheel texture on an aircraft but when I see the right side of the plane in FS9 its not as sharp as the left side which I did not touch since the wheels are located on the left side fuse textures. I have converted the textures in DXT3 and 32bit and the same results happen? Any idea why its happening? I use photoshop 7.0Thanks,Bill

Hey, I'm sorta new to this and I'm trying to get the mousewheel to do something. How and Where in the mouse event tags do I put MouseWheelFlip to get it to work?Thank you.

I think I have found at least one reason for flashing textures at certain airports. About a month ago I installed a few airports around Italy. I think they were "ISD Projects". This one was "ISD Project LIMC" and I had moved it to position #11 in my scenery Library. Somewhere in FS2004 info I remember reading that "Terrain Mesh" was supposed to be near the BOTTOM of the Scenery Libary( a high number). #1 position is the TOP of the Library.Yesterday I installed a scenry,"File: palermo_vfr.zip Author: Fulvio Mazzokan " and I remember him saying that this scenery also had some MESH in it. I installed it and set it at position #2 in the Library. So "palermo-vfr" was at #2 a…
