Hi all,I have added my own traffic including helicopters. I have noticed that things are fine at the beginning of a flight but after some time the helos start sinking, sinking up to their bellies. What in the world can cause this? If I reset the flight the choppers are back to normal.dolph

On my sig you can see my specs. I have a pretty decent system right? So why cant I get over a fluctuation of 25-35 fps with the pmdg/lds/pic 737 airplanes? Im running fs terrain, ge pro, asv6, ultimate terrain, and squawkbox 3. Today I was flying from gary widups slc which is good on frames to simflyers klas. The fps was 25-36 for the most part, when on final at las it dropped to 18-19 then returning to only 22-25 when I landed. This was done in the pmdg 737 which seems to be about the same on fps as the lds 767. I know intel makes a better chip right now but i have seen people with a 2.6 ghz fx cpu get fps in the 80's to even 100's using the addons above and at ma…

Somewhere along the line I managed to engage a picture of a cockpit inside when I open my FS9..I would like to delete this picture and reinstitute the original FS aircraft picture..How do I do this...?Thank you whomever for your assistance...

HelloDoes anyone know what to do to avoid the pointer of the mouse to disappear on the photo of the selected plane in the "create a flight" window (cr

Hi all,I recently started flying Dreamfleet's Baron 58 RX (Reality-XP Version) for FS9. It is an amazing aircraft and I am thoroughly enjoying my time in it, however I have noticed a small problem that no body else seems to have. I can't find information about it anywhere, and I've read the reality-xp GNS530/430 manual at least 3 times lol.Basically, I start up the aircraft in the 2D panel with all systems running. I then use the Dreamflight config utility to start the aircraft in a 'cold-and-dark' state. There seems to be no problem when I switch on the avionics and the reality xp GNS530 starts up fine, and get no error messages and I acn interact with the reality xp GNS…

Greetings all!I've got some random questions about FS9.First I use the default traffic & have no real problems with it. But one thing I'd like to change is the ratio of Cessna Grand Caravans to Caravan Amphibians. In-game in the mix of traffic around the PNW where I do most of my flying I seem to see about 90% Caravan Amphibians & 10% Grand Caravans. I'd like to switch that. Around here in real life I almost never see a Caravan Amphibian. But I see Grand Caravans all the time. (At least I assume that's what I'm seeing flying in & out of PDX all day). Is there a simple way to make a change like that?The second and third questions involve brakes. I mostly fly th…

Something that might be of interest to others is as follows:Capt. Sim just had a dandy 24 hour Christmas sale of their products. It may or may not have been extended, I did not check. I purchased the Base Package of the 757 and the Pro C130.In reading the manual for the 757, if I am interpreting correctly the FMC does not control the autopilot, therefore making it virtually useless in my book which is a big disapointment. Also, if I interpret correctly there are purchase options in addition to the base package that have this provision probably along with other desirable functions. I would respectfully suggest that one research all purchase options as carefully as possible…

hi,someone could tell me how solve this problem???when I try to open a window of activecamera on fs2004 on full screen mode it appears a black full screen and the only way to see the window is pressing alt + enter and so reverting fs2004 to windowed mode, but this is a temporarily solution, someone has a definitive solution some ideas thanks in advance

I've been enjoying flight simulation since the early 90's. Made a lot of friends over the years in both the FS and combat sim fraternities of our mutual passion.About a month ago, I stumbled across an old, old friend I had not had contact with in some years. Jon Blum. Jon used to be a lead programmer and developer with Graphic Simulations in Dallas. He moved on, I moved on...then one day Jon found me on another board. Anyway, he has a little project that he invited me to be a beta tester of. 3 years in development. Check this out.http://www.vrsimulations.com/product_FA18E.htmThis thing is the MAC DADDY of military aircraft in MSFS. Im not sure what the timing on …

...Somehow I managed to get a splashscreen of a cockpit when I opened my FS..how do I change my splashscreen to the default, or another aircraft...? Thank you for any advice...musnkatz

Hello.I'm hoping someone has an idea for me here. Way back when I purchased USA Roads (long before UT came out) and I'm having a problem.The version I purchased was 1.1 and I'm trying to find the 1.1E update for it. It seems the people that are at Flight1 now (or whatever they are called) don't seem to know what I'm talking about when I mention this 1.1E update. I know this update did at least one thing (possibly more) and that was giving the option in the configuration utility to turn off roads going over water.I have the original CD I purchased but after reinstalling to a new computer I have since lost this option to turn off the roads going over water. The version …

Now as the holidays are upon us my copy of FS9 will not start up. I've tried every single method from the Microsoft Support Site with no luck. I even uninstalled and re-installed FS9 and still no luck.Does anyone have any ideas or do I have to go out and buy a copy of FSX now.

Hello all,I would like to place a couple of real-life hospital helipads in FS9. Does anyone know of a database that might have the correct coordinates for these helipads? I have done some google searching but haven't found the info yet. The areas I'm searching for are poorly represented in google earth, so I cannot find them that way.Thanks!KP

I installed both FS 9 and FSX to S drive with name Program Files S drive/Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Program Files S drive/Flight Simulator 9. When I try to use real time weather I get the error message that it doesn't find the internet. I am having a second problem with the FS9 in that the elevator trim on aircraft maxes out down and will not allow adjustment. 2 separate problems. I have tried searching to no avail on this site. Please help. Thanks in advance.Lynn

Hi, Have purchased the special on these 2 aircraft at Simmarket.Any of you gentlemen have the Archer? I see a couple of small manuals but I don't see a more extensive one on the operation of the airplane. Anyone know if one is avaiable somewhere? Thanks.

OSS Embraer 120. Did they upload their freeware model to another sim site before closing?Thanks,Jason

To compare scenery between FS2002 (still my preferred version of FS) with FS2004's scenry I loaded and flew FSNavigator's Miegs Field flight plan in each version. When I started up FS2004 and selected Meigs Field I discovered something rather odd (to say the least)! Namely, there are two large factory-like buildings on the "mainland" directly east of the 36 runway threshold that are suspended in mid-air! I'm not sure if this is a bug in the default FS2004 scenery or if it occured when I installed FSGlobal 2005 into FS2004. Either way, has anyone else seen this? How can it be corrected if a patch isn't available to fix the problem?Scott Miller

I've posted some shots in the SS forum if anyone is interested.Adam

While lined up on rwy 34 at CYYC, Calgary, in the PMDG 737-700, with RC running, I began moving slowly BACKWARDS. Now, before you ask, no the thrust reversers were not engaged and the engines were on idle. Even when applying full power it had no effect. Any ideas?Dave FisherCYYZP4 Prescott 3.2e 478p 800mhz 1mg CPUP4P800SE Asus Motherboard2.5 gig PC3200 DDR RAM 400MHZGeForce 7600GT/512 OC'dMaxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HD x2WDC WD800 80 Gig HDAntec 500watt true powerSharp 19 inch LCD MonitorLogitech Extreme 3D pro Joystickhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpghttp://fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpg

Does anyone know of any Indian Airport Scenery? I'm looking for Dehli and Bangalore but can't find any accurate scenery for any Indian airports.Any help would be appreciated.

Howdy,Anyone here a member of FS Genesis?They say for a $100 you get everything they have and everything they will make for the next three years.Is this da real dillio? Sounds pretty good, in a "I just paid $100 for better terrain" sort of way.I admit to being tempted.
