The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Was wondering if anyone from AirSimmer (I know at least one of the team members posts here) could reassure me that AirSimmer hasn't shut down as the website has. Just checking 'cause Im really looking forward to the A320.

I'm having trouble setting the time in FS9 now that DST is over. My local time is correct 18:00 but my GMT is off (still showing 22:00)which is only a 4 hour offset here in the eastern time zone where it should be 5 hours or 23:00. For the life of me, I can't remember how to get this reset to read correctly. Help please. Thanks.

I first started with BEV USA/Canada Summer. Got bitten by the texture-upgrade bug and then I got Ground Environment (GE) and now I just upgraded to Ground Environment Professional (GEP).All was was good with BEV & GE but then after I installed GEP I noticed the tiling was a LOT more obvious:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/Thr...ilingMedium.jpghttp://www.planet-smilies.de/kaos/CreamPuffKaos/pcrying.gifWhy would this be? I have followed all the instructions and have spent 4 hrs generating texture sets http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/confused0088.gif I have full backups on CD of all my textures files so getting the sim back to what it was is not a problem but Im…

I'm starting my conversion course (real) into a DA40 tomorrow and I'm wondering if there is a DA40 or DA42 with G1000 in the making for FS2004/FSX?Cheers

I have not yet tried REP. How does in work with GE Pro or if I am using GE Pro do I need REP?ThanksTom

Hi there, I puchased Overland Simmers sky airbus package from simmarket a few days ago.I have noticed that on the A380, only the 2 inboard thrust reversers work and not on engines 1 and 4.Can anyone help me?Kind RegardsGavin Moss

Now it looks like the free navigation data for fmc's such as the pmdg or lds is now a payware service. Any other alternative? I honestly cant even afford that right now. Money is waay to tight. Anyway that i can get a previous version of the service?

Okay...Maybe the wrong forum, but I had to share. I was checking out the TinMouse forum and there is a FAQ. Understand that that this is a great project going on and there are passionate minds at work and Bob Scott and friends are doing a outstanding job with it. Talk about "Support"!!! No question is treated as stupid or irrelevant.Anyway...I've heard it said that "A picture is worth a thousand words." However, If you reverse that, a few words make a great picture.:-)What follows is an what I'm talking about. Free your minds and get in touch with your inner child.:-)"4. Q: About 20 min into my flight, the gear warning horn started sounding, and the %&%$^& thing w…

Hi, I want to record my own FS videos so that I can watch them on Windows Media Player. Its for FS9, does anyone have any suggestions? (Preferably Freeware, but if not, it doesn't matter)Thanks,Ryan

Hi all, please can anyone suggest how I stop my AI aircraft from shimmering? I have an Nvidia FX5500. Resolution 1024x768, refresh 72 Hz. I have played with AA & AF, both now at mid, but no joy there. The planes stop shimmering when I get up close, so maybe there is an LOD issue? Should I turn down the global a/c quality setting? Any pointers in the right direction would be helpful.Thanks in advance,Tosh

Hi Fellow Members,does anyone know what has happened to Project Canarias? Their website is off the air.I hope they're still in business.....I was really looking forward to getting my hands on Fuerteventura.kevin

Have just noticed that when i crash, the visual effects go crazy. This could be to do with "SelecFX or F.S.Manager" which I installed and enabled crash effects with. The fact that I had not crashed any A/C for such a long time I had not noticed the strange effects till now. When colliding with the ground or scenery the crash is very spectacular, which is not the problem, the problem is that the crash goes on and on and on.......and only stops when I reset the flight. could this be a bug that anyone else has had and found a fix for. Just thought I would post the problem before I start uninstilling programs and reinstalling them...Would be helpful for any help on this one. …

I know this is a common bug for FS9 as I remember reading about solutions before. The problem is that after flying for so long, FS nolonger reloads Addon scenery.I know there was a "workaround" for it, does anyone know what that was?-Brian

I seem to recall this being mentioned in the distant past...but a search yields no results. I have installed William Morgan's KMIA scenery and I'm having issues with taxiway signage and a windsock in the middle of a taxiway...they are misplaced and the windsock causes a "Building Crash". I could swear this has been discussed before in regards addon scenery and this misplaced items phenomenon? This addon airport is also confusing me as FSNav refuses to see all the gates that William included? I did run the FSNav database creator AFTER activating the scenery in FS9. William's AF2 file has been tried in the original "FRF-KMIA" addon scenery folder AND the usual place (Addon …

Does anyone know if there's a way to route the canned ATC into a headphone? I use WideFS, maybe there's a way to feed it thru the client PC??James

Does anyone here use Steve Whalin's Newark scenery (kewr.zip)?It looks good but I can't start a flight at most of the gates because FS2004 tells me I'll collide with a building if I try to. I also get miscellaneous collisions with invisible buildings as I try to taxi.I don't think I've got any scenery that conflicts and I've removed duplicate AFCAD's but without solving it so far. Any help welcomed.John

Hello,What is the key code(s) to turn the map on/off? I can't find it on the Knee Board and it is not an icon on all A/c.Thanks in advance,Ron Sagel

I downloaded a number of VFR sectionals from the library - I'm tired of breaking out the paper ones.Any suggestion for a good chart viewer for my notebook - preferably one that might link to fs via WideFS.

For $29.95....TRASH....Abacus is very poor at marketing....on the 787 page they don tell you whats included...sounds....fms...FMC...ect...I guess this wont reside on my harddrive anytime soon... http://abacuspub.com/b787/

Can someone please tell me why all the textures in my fs9 are mixed up? My building textures are on the ground, and panel textures are on the outside of my planes and so on. I've tried to reinstall and it still happens. Can anyone please help me?

Hi,does anyone know if there is a way of making the wet runways work in FS9.1, I didn't start this thread to be shouted at, but I must admit that I would like to see these textures in FS9, as it's about the only thing I have really been miffed about not having.I know that someone else has managed to get some of the other textures from FSX to work in FS9,Thanks for any suggestions,

How does FS9 calculate N1? This value seems very arbitrary! In FDE, everything is done in terms of CN1. I can set CN1 to remain constant from sea level to nearly any altitude with a good IAP ratio.For example, on this freeware panel I'm using, I'll set climb thrust to something like, say, 108% N1. The value is gradually decreasing from sea level and up. By FL350, for example, the N1 value (and N2 for that matter) would have dropped to something around 103% or so, whilst CN1 (via AFSD reading) remained at 108% throughout the climb.My question now is, is there any way to take control of how N1 is calculated the keep it constant? At high altitude, when firewalling thro…
