Hy;Does anyone know how to modify the landing pitch in an aircraft so I can see the runway when I land?When I extend flaps the aircraft point with his nose to the sky...so i can

I honestly hate their biz jets... the interiors are the lowest quality and their autopilots are the most non sense making things... (#### FLC on the Cit X was like auto throttle or something)I have the wilco legacy 600, and it is GREAT, but I'm looking for something like CJ1 and such... the eaglesoft CJ1 (#### anyone for that matter) utterly suck in my opinion...I know I'm being WAY too harsh on their products but I just feel real bad I spend over 60 bux on some of their planes and I got the worst planes ever I had purcahsed so i'm very sad...so any other options for me?

Using FSDS Ver 3. Trying to learn how to design a fuselage with a backdrop.Place "Tube" on backdrop after filling in blanks in backdrop scale and "Tube Properties". Make mdl file and open up FS 9.Question: Placing my design next to a AI Aircraft, everything looks way out of proportion. Are the AI scales different than what we use when designing? My design is way to big even after scaling down size.Original P-47D fuselage without engine mount is: 33'. Width is: 4.46'. I used these numbers first and no good compared to AI 737-400.So I made second fuselage at 16.5 and width at 1.75. Does not look any better at all.What is proper scaling technique for desiging aircraft in…

George G. has released an updated Boston airport; now in the library - thank you George!DJ

I'm flying with less details, I tried nearly every FPS tweaking tricks posted here on AVSIM forums (also FS9.cfg editing), I use reduced cloud and autogen textures for better FPS, nearly every slider on my graphic card setting is far left for best performance (and no antialiasing), I have new clean installation of FS and I don't run any unnecessary tasks in the background (such as ICQ and so on), but I still think that I get too low FPS for these settings.On EMPTY default EGLL with no traffic I got about 25-28 FPS with default cessna and about 20 FPS in PMDG 2D cockpit. On add-on sceneries I get about 15-18 FPS in PMDG... do you think, that it is enough for my computer an…

Hi All,For some time, I've been trying to get the Dreamwings Fokker 50 V3 to work with the panel from Espen Oijordsbakken. I've installed all the fixes, but I still get lock-ups or CTDs at some point into the flight. Does anyone know of a good alternative panel?Dale

On a frequent basis, ALL speed instruments, including the FS info bar, falls to ZERO!! I can SOMETIMES fix it by climbing high, then decending at supersonic speeds. If the aircraft conforms of couse.This seems to happen regardless of what aircraft or location i'm flying.This is so frustrating - if anyone could shed any light on this i'd be grateful.Thanks

I am arriving in Cairo on Monday the 5th of February, and will be visiting Kuwait City, Abu Dhabi and Muscat through the month of February. I don't have my day to day schedule pinned down yet, but if I do have time, I would look forward to meeting sim enthusiasts during my time in those cities. If you are a resident, or nearby, and would like to get together some evening, send me a PM or an email and we'll confirm the details, if my schedule allows.

and how do i get rid of ithttp://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5116/slickeeze7.jpg

I've been troubleshooting an OUT OF MEMORY error I get when flying the CoolSky Md-80 aircraft. I just discovered an empty TEXTURE folder inside my FS9 Addon Scenery folder. I've no idea why it's there or why I put it there or what it is associated with. I have several addon sceneries including a huge folder for Ultimate Traffic AI.Might this empty TEXTURE folder be causing the OUT OF MEMORY with my MD-80? Can an empty TEXTURE folder like this also cause crashes to desktop? I've had some of those recently as well, just out of the blue (no pun intended!), although I think i've solved that issue (hopefully).Appreciate any suggestions, info, etc., thanks.JS

Hi all, im used to flying the 737 ng by PMDG.Ive just been give a great present, the level D 767 and the angle of attack training video!But help me! Its soo complicated compared to the PMDG bird!Is there an idiots guide to get this thing moving a bit quicker? I know ill prob be studying for 3-4 hours, but id rather not study longer than that, as I only really have weekends :( The angle of attack dvd would take me weeks to get through! It really does seem 100% more complicated than the pmdg 737 birdsAny help appreciated!ThanksIan

Please email me at [email protected] a question for you!ThanksEric

Does anybody have the correct contact points for the IRIS T-45? I would like to get the nose gear out of the runway.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/165865.jpg

I just purchased four out of five BEV (Bird's Eye View) seasonal texture enhancements from SimMarketWhen I try to download from the BEV support site--- the update files, the downloads all bomb out about half way through their download bar.All you get are corrupt .zip files.Has anybody successfully downloaded the update files from the BEV support forum?Thanks,Sesquash

Hi,I use PS CS2 and I can't load any bmp created with it in FS9 as it causes a crash (fe.dll). I save 32bit bmps with their alpha channel and unless I open them with DXTbmp and save them again, I have that crash as soon as I choose the livery in the Create Flight menu.Any ideas why? Am I doing anything wrong?ThanksLeo

Loving flying the great EMB 120 by Eric Cantu and all Steve's et al super repaints... I have Horst Paetzold's panel AND I 'think" his sounds with his panel ?? I'm not sure but I did replace the default..Can't find what sounds exactly I have.. But-- is there a way to take out the altitude warnings when landing "500 FEET", etc?By playing the sound files I have gotten out a few others but can't find this one..Cheers on a gorgeous Sat afternoon, here anyway in up-state NY.

HiNow that I have this Level D 767, and the Tu-154, which taxi like the real thing, I find myself wanting airports I know to taxi around.So I'm looking for EGCC Manchester UK, Gatwick, Stanstead, Sturup and Copenhagen.Any tips on where I might find these, Payware, Freeware or whatever, would be much appreciated!!Jason

I haven't looked at the Majestic software Dash 8 yet, but it looks promising, though it's very expensive. Does anyone own it? If so what do you think of it? I think they ought to have included the component failure logic with the Pro edition version, instead of packaging it with the corporate edition out of the ordinary simmers budget range.http://www.majesticsoftware.com

Hi all:I am planning an utility for which I need to know if there's a default flight saved in the USERINTERFACE module of fs9.cfg. just after the installation of fs9. (In the SITUATION line, to be more precise)I believe normally fs9 saves there the last predefined flight, and I suppose when fs9 is first installed, that in that paragraph should bethe default Cessna flight in Seattle.But I would need to be sure of that and for me it would be a trouble to reinstall it just to check it myself. So, does anyone know for sure which flight comes in that paragraph?Thanks anticipatedJacilore

Does anyone know if the Project Magenta G1000 is released or not?I can't seem to figure that out from their website.Their forum has the worst format I have ever seen. No matter when I go... the forum topics listed and content seem to be the same... even if I refresh it...and its very very unintutive. I hate it. But I like their products.Manny

I recently bought the Level D 767, the first aircraft I ever had for MSFS that looks like it has a decent FMC.Only trouble is I'm now missing SIDs and STARs (if they are still used these days) for all the european airports. Is there anywhere one can download this stuff?

What is a good site to acquire international airport charts and procedures. State side I can grab the charts and procedures from either AOPA or AIRNAV. Are there similair web sites for the the remainder of the world?ThanksTom

my brother and i have been trying to set up a multiplayer session within FS9 to no avail. we have each tried to set one up, but neither of us can find each other's session once it has started. furthermore, as a test, we have tried searching for some other widely known servers and were able to find them with no problems. so we must be missing a step in there somewhere.we have both set up our routers to forward the following ports:6073 UDP23456 UDP2300-2400 TCP/UDPi have a linksys WRT54G and my brother has a netgear MR814v2. in addition, we have both disabled windows firewall. i also have norton antivirus, which i tried disabling with no luck. i still have to get more detai…

is there a paintkit or blank texture set out there?thank you.
