The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi All, This is my first post, so i am hoping someone can help me. I've noticed in FS9, the zoom in VC is set default .50 Zoom. Now i like this zoom distance, however i have notice the details of the touchdown zone on runways don't appear until you are approx 1 to .5 Miles out. Its really annoying because it just looks like a blank runway until you are really close, and can't use them for reference. If i change the zoom to 1, it appears much further out, which is perfect, however i can't see all my gauges due to the added zoom. Has anyone else noticed this, or better yet, has anyone been able to resolve the issue? FYI, i have a very high powered PC with…

Hi All: I recently bought a new computer and it comes with Windows 8.1. I would very much like to run the Level D 767 and the CLS 767/777 but am hesitant to buy these as I am not sure they will work in Windows 8.1. Can anybody please advise me of their compatibility and maybe give me some other large Boeing jets that will work in Windows 8. I run the QW 757 and the PMDG with no problems. Thanks you so much. Ed Ryan

To all my fellow FS9 users, I made the decision last night to delete as much of my FS9 files possible, (still nn FSC for flight planning) over 130GB, 10 yrs of FS9. Leaving MSFS was a tough decision due to all the investment. But my current simulation just made it impossible to continue w/ MSFS. A BIG THANK YOU to all out there who supplied so much help, so many add-on's and utilities for this wonderful sim. This was a tough decision w/ all the money spent, and great great add-on's. I tried many times to continue w/ MSFS but it was like night and day, and in the end I knew this was something I had to do. :rolleyes: Thank you again I have gone over to the dark s…

I have made a lot of building models with FSDS, and sometimes (but rarely) had to go back and remedy problems after compiling for FS9 use, when, for example, the roof has somehow decided to be 10 feet higher than the rest of the hangar when it displays in FS9, though it behaves perfectly when viewed in FSDS. I have a simple building now that, for whatever reason, refuses to display the textures correctly and shows them blurred. First time around I couldn't find a problem with the textures, they were made in Photoshop as 32 bit, then formatted DXT3 and mipmaps created, then checked with DXTfixer for an active alpha channel. I made them again from scratch to the same spec, …

Hi - is anyone using this tool, FSX Follow? Eventhough the name says FSX, the website says it works with FS9, they are a liitle short on instructions for FS9, so I was wondering if/how anyone got it working? In essnce this program is supposed to give you access on your iphone/ipad/itouch to data from an on going flight. You should be able to pull up a map to view location and altitude of your flight. Anyway, if anyone has got it working for FS9 please let me know the install steps you used. Thanks!!!http://www.positiongames.com/fsxfollow/

Hi there.I have problems with my FS9.Ground textures are shaking when i move around and when i turn engines ON aicraft starts to shake not very much but annoying.Navigation problem is that EVERY payware aicraft addon don't follow route precisely wich is very annoying too. My pc specs: Windows 7 32Bit Nvidia 610GT 2GB 2GB RAM Intel dual core cpu 2ghz

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with a couple of things. Firstly, i have downloaded Vista Liners Boeing 737 400 Base Model and added Fabrizio Beretti's B737-300 analogue panel fab733an.zip available on flyawaysimulation.com, (which I have used before with other models) the 2d displays fine but there are no cockpit side and rear views, there are windows but they are blacked out, is there a way to fix this? I have looked at the panel.cfg and it reads exactly the same as in the other models that it displays correctly in. Secondly, is it possible to add this Air Malta texture to this model, download file mtb737_4.zip again on flyawaysimulation.com, e…

Just downloaded and installed the 777 for fs2004 from the BBS website. It has a fuel planner but no load editor. Is this correct? Where do I get a working load editor for the 777? The PSS folder is there (in the FS directory) and the sub-folder "Boeing 777" is there. It includes the fuel planner and other files but no load editor!! I ran the installation as administrator using win7x64. I suspect that BBS have omitted the loader. I have contacted them but no reply - their support is lacking and shocking!!!! I have just upgraded my computer and OS, hence the re-install. I still have my old computer and tried copying the load editor.exe file onto my …

On Simmarket there is new/updated scenery from FSDG for a Sharm El-Sheikh 2015 update (they also have Djerba update). It says that it's free to those who have the 2012 version. Does anyone know if I need to un-install the scenery first before I install the updated scenery? Or can I just run the update over my existing installed scenery? I did email this question to FSDG, but haven't heard back from them yet.

Other than AI models did Opensky/other make one available?

For FS9 what is the most accurate weather engine? I have REX and it's weather engine and FSrealWX lite. So out of those two which one is the most accurate? When I fly I would use REX one flight and FSrealWX lite the next flight. I want to stick with one of them but not sure which one.

Have you ever flown a transatlantic flight (non-stop) above 35,000 ft with real weather? I am making a Madrid - New York flight with cruise altitude at 39,000 ft with real weather provided by Active Sky 6.5. Strong wind speeds above 90 MAG and strong wind speed changes lead me to overspeed and now I am at Gander, the speed dropped from 0.84 match to 0.73 match I had to request FL380 from FL390 and engines at full power. Oh my God! this is really difficult, what a hell! I want to see land and everything turn ok again.

Hi Flusi Community, I have a real problem with my FS9. As you can see in the picture (link below) the aircraft is not showing correctly. I have this problem with all the aircrafts I've installed (Addon aircrafts such as PMDG 747/737 and default aircrafts). But it is not only in the aircraft selection menu. After loading a flight and change to the exterior model I have this problem also. But I also noticed that some parts of knobs in the Virtual Cockpit are darker than others. I hope anyone can help me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/98sfw0dk8c7l0nf/Error.jpg?dl=0 I've tried also reeinstalling FS9 so that no addon is installed. But still the same problem. Changing t…

I hope someone knows how to achieve FS9 in a windowed mode across 3 screens. With FSX/P3D I can drag a window to display a virtual cockpit across three displays giving me a higher level of fidelity. With FS9 when I try to drag the window across 3 screens the view only stretches halfway and the rest of the window is blank. I run my monitors in a P-L-P mode with 1200x1600-2560x1600-1200x1600. Thanks,

I have a problem with the scenery and flight planner of on airport RPLL. The problem is that when I use an add-on scenery of RPLL (Manila Intl.) the flight planner crashes. What I did was I took the add-on out and tried to use the flight planner with the default scenery. The flight planner/flight simulator crashes. Is there any way I can fix this? I suspect it is a corrupt default file but I'm not sure. Is there anything I can do about this? Thank you.

Hi, As I approach PHNL from the west, I notice that PHJR has its runways half in the water. This has been noted before, for instance, here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/problem-with-phjr_topic17793.html Does anyone have the fix by Meshman, or another solution? Will ADE9x move the whole airport inland? Although I have the ADE programme and use it for various tweaks, i can't see how to use it to move a whole airport, (but I'll keep investigating the help file meanwhile).... I have Ultimate Terrain and FSGenesis mesh installed, by the way. Many thanks, Martin

Just released today. Top scenery for UK. Gary just keeps on supporting FS9 Steve

FlyTampa has left us Fs9 lovers, that is said :(

I know not all of you are into having military AI traffic but two new models have been released that would fit into a number of civil-military or even civil airfields as visitors. They are two aircraft just entering service in the real world - the new Airbus A400M and the C5M Super Galaxy. If you enjoy seeing something unique parked over with all the usual cargo aircraft, one of these babies would definitely spruce up the flight line Cheers Ian

Hello I have a problem with my pss777. When I change the simulation speed to 2x or more the plane goes up and down. Each second it climbs 800 ft and descends to 800 ft or more. Is there any way I can fix this
