    Hello Guys, Well turns out Im having a bit of a trouble right here with my PA A319. First of all Im using it with the PSS Panel (Not a complete merge, but only copy & paste of the panel.cfg) and for example when im taxiing even though im taxiing with throttle at the idle position the aircraft taxies at around 9 or 10 kt. And when Im flying the aircraft manually the airplane reacts really sensitive. Im pretty sure its something to do with the Aircraft.cfg file but honestly I dont know that much about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys, Regards

    Good news to all those of us who still fly the old PSS 777 due to the lack of a better/newer version of the tripple seven.One of our talented Russian friends, Frost 77, created a set of replacement textures for PSS 777 virtual cockpit.They are both day and night time textures. You can grab them here:http://www.avsim.su/...on=download&hl=For those unfamiliar with Russian, click this to start downloading:I also prepared a quick pair (day and night) of screenshots showing the main part of the VC panel BEFORE (upper) and AFTER (lower) the replacement:I don't know about you, but I like it very much.I haven't made any flight yet, just some ground virtual tour.So check and j…

    I haven't used Fs2004 since FSX was released, I now use Prepar3D. I have an old laptop that I refuse to upgrade because of my work files and setup that cannot be cloned. It will NOT run FSX or P3D or X-Plane 10, but will run FS2004 flawlessly. To appease my Flightsim addiction while away from my Desktop I have decided to build up my laptop FS2004 to be as realistic as possible and to use all of the addons I bought for fs2004. I would like suggestions as to what I need to get FS2004 up to scratch, and make it a world beater. I have VOZ scenery for Australia, FSNavigator and the Aeroworx B200 and the good old LevelD 767 but I've been away from it for too long to be abre…

    Hi all,I seem to be missing quite a few textures from 9Dragons VHHX. Mainly I'm talking about all the airport buildings and also the famous hill and checkerboard. Finally some skyscrapers about 20 deegrees to the right of Rwy13.All these areas are blank with the buildings being grey and the hill blank white.I have tried reinstalling three times each time to the letter of the instructions.I never had any previous add-on scenery for this area and have been moving files around in fs9 (and earlier) for years, so I know I haven't made an obvious mistake.Anyone had a similar problem?Thanks for any help you can give

    I'm upgrading some airports in preparation of flying to all of the state capitals in the United States. I found two files in the AVSIM scenery library for Bismarck N.D. - KBIS. When I try to download them, I either get no files to download or downloaded Zip file is empty. What do you think, guys? Is the problem on my end, or are these files missing from the library. If missing, does anyone have a copy of one/both they could get to me? Thanks, gwillmot

I would write a code that would give me a similar behavior (realistic) of the EPR 747 PMDG. You know tell me which way to go? What are the parameters that PMDG has used for its EPR?

Has anybody found a fix for this? or will it remain one of the worlds great mysteries? mog

    Hi all, I've recently upgraded my GPU to a 970gtx. Because this has involved a driver update (350.12), I've had to redo my nvidia inspector settings. This has worked fine for FSX, but for FS9 when I click on apply changes, any changes I've made revert back to default or will change some flags to 'treat override application as application controlled'. I've done some searching on forums and can't find anything obvious that I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly received. Thanks.

    Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some help or tips on how to paint one of my favorite aircraft, Dave Maltby's BAC 1-11. I downloaded the paint kit (yes it does have the proviso for "expert painters") , but there are no instructions whatsoever. When I look at the texture files for repaints they all have different naming conventions as opposed to the original paint kit names. This is confusing to me as well as the multiple parts and layers that are in the paint kit. I've had experience painting cars for racing sims and a few simple planes so I'm not a total noob at this but I'm obviously not an expert painter so I'm stumped. I really want to paint this bird so any …

    Alright, here's my case: I recently downloaded the PA A380 and began using it and vasFMC together. First couple flights, huge successes through and through. I added a few things to the panel.cfg (a digital trim gauge on the PFD, vertical display on the ND) and at first everything seemed fine. I did a flight with no problem. But now, I can't do any flights at all. I start setting up the FMC, and I got to the INIT B page. I entered my ZFW, but then when I enter my fuel, one of two things will happen. FS9 ccrashes entirely and immediately, or vasFMC freezes and all the displays go black if I try to open them. I do NOT use the fuel calculation, I enter my fuel manually. I ha…

    Hello. I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I am using the SkySpirit 767-300 with a couple of different repaints. Both American Airlines. Older paint scheme and the new one. The problem is that when using the new textures (by two different people - b763aanc and ssp763erv5_cf6-80c_american_2013) the beacon lights don't appear. If I switch to the older paint they are there no problem. Same aircraft, just different textures. Can anyone tell me what might be happening here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have never before seen such a mess, that could never work for AI, or for atc instructions, and for which Bill Gates wanted me to pay money. A runway taxi line along the edge of the runway instead of in the middle; taxiways that overlap the runway but are not joined to it; taxiways that are not even joined to each other!!??
