The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hallo friends http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/aktion/a...-smiley-030.gifOn a couple of my planes (mostly the 737s) the throttle revs up and down a bit madly as it tries to keep to the taxi-speed I have assigned in the ground-handling gauge I have. I dont see this problem in other jets where I can assign a taxi speed (usually 8-10kts) and the engines purr smoothly as the autothrottle keeps to the speed.But on the 737s the levers do a little dance and the sound of course gets highly annoying :(If any of you out there have had this problem and have fixed it - please do share :)Thanks!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,After installing Real Environment Pro I noticed that some of the landing/taxi lights are not illuminating the runway as they should. I have Aircraft Spotlight "on" and it works fine on most of the aircraft, both add-on and default, however on a few models it looks like the lights are aimed too far down the runway. My question is, can the Landing/Taxi lights be adjusted in Aircraft CFG file? I see some entries for lights, but having learned the hard way, I would rather ask first than start messing with something in any files.Pre-thanks for any replies. By the way thanks again for those of you that answered my thread re: FE and REP. I just installed FE and WOW what …

A new BAC Panel was released on Nov. 2rd. It's an even earlier variant of BAC panel (500ED both 2D and VC). Many things are different.The 500ED models were also updated in NOV. CheersJason

For some reason the background to the brake and slew messages has changed to red. How do I change this to transparant as it was previously?

Just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Online Simulation Solutions (http://www.onlinesimulationsolutions.com). Their site has been down for a couple of weeks now (ditto for their forums).Are they experiencing technical difficulties or did they close up shop?Some others have mentioned the very same thing over at Flight1's forums as well (http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=19122). Anyone know what's up?

In PSS B777 I have a problem: the cdu, radio panel etc... stay in rear of the panel and is very dificult aperate, for example, the keys of cdu, they ere inacesible. Is necesary close main panel (shift 1) work with cdu and open the panel. What is the solution?Thanks Pablo Fernandezhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/161529.jpg

I'm looking for a addon of this aircraft. Anyone know where I could find one...if there even *is* one?

Is there any freeware landing flyby viewer for fs2004 which when placed near the threshold of the runway automatically locks on to the closest aircraft on final?Is it possible to somehow enable the tower view for ai aircrafs?In the tower view in fs2004 when the user aircarft crosses a distance of around 4nm from the tower the view point leaves its position and starts chasing the aircraft. Is it possible to stop this from happening and make it just as it used to be in fs2000?

Just an FYI:We have released our Bahamas scenery for FS9! Available exclusively at www.fs-freeflow.com for a week or so, then we'll upload to the major sites.A complete replacement for FS9's default scenery, Freeflow Bahamas provides accurate shorelines, land class, water class, AFCADs, and much more! Fully compatible with many commercial addons (such as Imagine Sim's MYNN, TropicalSim's airports, and UTUSA)!Thanks for all your patience, and please stop by our site and grab a copy...Best,sg

Can someone tell how to make fs2004 go for the sound.cfg files in corresponding aircraft folders and use them to generate realistic engine sounds for ai traffic, just as it does for user aircrafts?By default fs2004 uses single wave file from the common sounds folder irrespective of the thrust of the engine, which is pretty unrealistic.

Not having messed around with FS9 in quite some time, I re-installed everything on my WinXP desktop. Downloaded all the FSGenesis scenery and wotnot again, even re-installed the Cheyenne (although it's an exercise in frustration on this machine).Today, I decided to update the Nvidia (Ti4800) drivers, which went seemingly well. Except when I start FS9 now, the civilian GA beacon (green/white rotating light, as if I need to explain it...heh) looks like a pair of horizontally opposed, slowly rotating, solid dark grey cones. I vaguely recall this being discussed in the forums many years ago, but search turns up 250+ pages of results. Anyone remember the fix off hand? Man…

If I've got the wrong Forum, please move it.I've d/l the Freeware LKPR Scenery, but after I installed the basic files 'Base' I find that I now have the Old and the New Airports side by side? Anyone else installed this scenery successfully? This scenery is very good and FPS friendly - even with the Default buildings still showing :)Any help would be appreciated.KenSomerset, England

Hi All,I was doing some tweaks in FS.Cfg. that I got from the "Tips and Tricks" thread here at Avsim when I noticed an entry titled VirtualCopilot,i.e:(VirtualCoplot) ----in bracketsVirtualCopilotActive = 0Is this entry there for add-ons like Radar Contact, or can I turn the flying over to my co-pilot so I can visit the galley by turning on a virtual copilot?Just Wondering. By the way the tweaks work great so far on my system, I highly recommend you read them if you haven't alreadyJohn M

I've installed Real Environment Pro and am very happy with the effects and enhancements... except for these funky, spiky cloud reflections that appear for me at certain altitudes/angles over any body of water. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, delete the effect or adjust a setting?Although I've spent a lot of time reading and learning here - this is my first post - thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge and experience! - Steve

Before anyone purchases, please note that it does NOT have a VC.This "feature" is worded carefully:"Fast FPS! 2D Panels only":)Enjoy.

i just recently downloaded steve whalin's Newark Liberty (KEWR) Default Scenery Replacement v1.0 and it looks great, however whenever I start at a gate and press shift+p nothing happens. Im wondering what im doing wrong.

I have recently taken 3 west coast flights based on real world schedules.. HNL-LAS, MDW-LAX and LAX-PEK.. - in all of these flights I have arrived a full hour earlier than scheduled.. I have also check flightaware to confirm real world arrival time. This has not happened on east coast trips - (mdw-phl and back- etc). I have noticed this after the time changed and only on flights to and from west coast cities (LAX and LAS)..Any ideas???Thanks

Hi all,How do I make my views sticky like not snap back to front? I think I used to do it in FS2002...Oh, and how do I turn off those dumb flying tips that keep poppin up?Thanks,dolph

Hi,Sorry if this has been covered before as I'm sure it has somewhere....I've just re-installed my PSS airbus's after a year of being off my hard drive,I'm just curious to know if I'll get any better performance if I use the IFDG model merged with the PSS panel?Also there seems to be far more repaints around for the IFDG plane than the PSS version.Thanks,Regards,Martin.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I have searched and cannot seem to find a procedure(STAR) for KMIA that includes ILS.Thanks in advance.Rick

This photoreal scenery came out a whiles back but didn't seem to get much attention on its release (forget who the developer is). Anyone have it and if so how do you like it? Are the ground textures of good quality? Good detail? I am very interested in how the night textures look. Seems like it would be a great place to fly around with mountains and the Great Salt Lake there. ANy screenies would be appreciated... especially a few night ones.thxClutchProject 9 Dragons

Hi!I get a very strange problem concerning my FS9 cfg-file.It seems to change every time I exit the sim and messup the heading; e.g. my KORD has 271 degrees for the 27L 27Rrunways.When I restart the sim it reads 253 degrees.Does anyone know what the problem might be?Grateful for any help.Thanks!Hans HermanssonSweden

At the "Create A Flight" screen, after I select an aircraft, I no longer get the graphic of the plane. The box is just black.Also, all of a sudden I'm getting a message that the log file for logging flight time doesn't exist.Any tips on these two issues?Thanks in advance.

Peter generously allowed us to use a few of his fine textures from his wonderful Ground Environment program in our CYYC scenery. Unfortunately, we missed a note of recognition to him in the demo release notes but will rectify this in the full version.Sorry Peter, we were a bit overwhelmed over the last few days pulling this all together.AdamCanUk

Does terrain Mesh affect FPS at all??Told it was a quick question lolThanks
