The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Oh my God...... Love Avsim & Flightsim. They both have their pro's and con's. But I think Flightsim got hacked. Completely new web structure which in "my opinion" is horrible. I could not even search their download sections. A complete and utter mess of a site Mitch

Good day i recently purchased the FS9 HELI DEVELOPMENT AS350B3 from SIMMARKET, but try as I can I cannot get the FUEL BOOSTER switch in the center pedestal control console to turn off. I have tried to use the product link to contact Heli Development but it is non existant. Everything else works great except not being able to use the Fuel booster switch means I can't shut down properly and therefore cannot restart the heli. Any help will be great Thanks Michael

Hey, Stupid question here. If I, for example, planned a flight in PFPX using the 737 and the plan says release fuel blah blah blah how do i distribute that in FS2004, in the tanks i mean like how many percentage should I add or is there a program for that. Would love to knoe Mohamed

Hi there, I have an issue with the ScanAFD Program, that looks for Duplicate AFCAD Files in Flight Sim 2004. I have Flight Sim 2004, installed in my F:\ Drive i.e. but it looks in the C:\ Drive where the Directory used to be, when looking in the Addon Scenery\scenery Folder, when I run the utility. There doesn't appear to be an option to change the Path, the Program looks at. Do I need to change an entry in the Windows Registry i.e. using Regedit ? to change, where the program points to ? Any help and info, would be much appreciated. Regards Eddie Winch

I really want to find a way to create objects, in this case model and apply it to a scenario in my FS2004, I would like to model it, and then find some way to convert it and apply it inside the simulator by ADE for example. ..

Ik heb een fout in fs2004, opstarten gaat normaal wanneer ik de cockpit heb dan gaat die naar freeze frame, wanneer ik hem er uit haal met een muis click krijg ik zwart beeld waar de cockpit was Ik gebruik daar ook bij ultimate traffic, ik heb ook de cockpit cfg bekeken en die ziet er normaal uit dit gebeurt bij elke cockpit die ik gebruik in fs2004, ik ben hiermee al dagen aan het kijken wat er mis is, maar ik kan de fout niet vinden, hebben jullie enig idee wat de fout is English: I have an error in fs2004, startup is normal when I have the cockpit then it goes to freeze frame, when I take it out with a mouse click I get a black screen where the cockpit was I…

Help me look because I wanted to install an enb series and the game closes because of the d3d9.dll file only because of that file if I take out that file everything works normal

Good evening, I posted a topic last week as I have a problem with textures in FS9 for Taxi2Gate Mexico City MMMX as I was getting texture bleed through on the taxiways.. I uninstalled the whole sim, reinstalled everything (I do not have any mesh installed whatsoever). After extensive testing, I looked at the terrain settings in my FS9.cfg and the last three entries were as follows: TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=0.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=0.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=0 I changed them to the below as per a post I read online somehwere: TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=4 This see…

No traffic and planes appears to me on instant replay. Is this a normal case or should have a fix ???

Good afternoon, Has anyone had any problems getting a reply from Imaginesim? I need two installers reset and as their operations center no longer has FS9 as an option, I have to email to get my installers reset. I emailed about one installer and got a reply a few days later after chasing them up and this was done without a problem. I now need another two installers reset and despite having emailed them 4 times at least since last Friday, I have not had a single reply back from them! I don't know why they are not replying to my emails, I am a long standing customer of theirs having purchased 6 sceneries over many years and to me, this is not very good custom…

Good evening, I have had Imaginesim VIDP Delhi for FS9 for some years now. I got a new pc last year and redownloaded and reinstalled everything. Since I reinstalled VIDP Delhi, the ground textures bleed through on the runways and I cannot fix it, this does not happen on most of the aprons/ramps/gate areas, mainly just on the runways and taxiways. I suspect it is to do with the afcad in the download as there is now only one afcad without Terminal 2. I remember when I first bought it, there were 2 afcad options, one with T2 and one without. The afcad without T2 is just the afcad with T2 where the gates have been deleted from the afcad and saved. I know that just d…

Because the release was on 2003, isn't? or maybe 2004? Twenty years and even today with msfs I love start it up time to time. I'm tempted myself to collect physical time tables for creating flightplans of the summer of 2003. But the last thing I need it's to start another retro collection....

Is there any fix to make the aircraft screen selection reviewing the aircrafts instead of being black

I downloaded an add on scenery and it works fine. But i wanted to change and replace it's runway textures with another runway textures What is the files responsible for runway textures in add on scenery texture file??

Hello! After many years of casual (mainly GA) sim flying, I would like to get into serious airliners. So the depth and many features of the Maddog would be perfect. But since I can't afford to change my flight sim rig to fly with P3Dv4+ or MSFS, I still use FS9 and FSX with their large hangar I have been building along the years. I could not find the Maddog 2010 Pro FS9/FSX version anywhere to be bought, so I'm reaching out to you fellow AVSIM members to know if you could point me toward an online store where it is still available. And by the way, can anyone tell me if the Maddog 2010 Pro would run on Windows 10? Thanks for your help!

Hi Team, I just wanted to post why when it's about 20 years old I still use FS2004. 1. My computer hardware (even that I have a newer PC I still can run FS2004 on my portable bought in 2000) 2. Plenty of freebies available that really blow your mind. 3. A lot of developers are still creating scenery, planes and gadgets for 2004 4. I tried FSX but if I wanted to run it full options as I do with FS2004 I would get 0.0000000001 fps. 5. Most of the software for new FS is payware and I'm living in a 3rd world country with a fifth world salary. These are the main reasons so when I see that David Rawlins created updates for his aircrafts or lea…

I updated aircraft.cfg with a new texture as readme and I got Aircraft initialization failure when choosing the new texture in the game. What does it mean and how to solve this error

Hello, I've been experiencing a very strange problem with my AI traffic for quite a while now without being able to find a solution. I enjoy watching my beautiful virtual planes at many airports around the world and I could spend hours watching the planes landing and taking-off, circulating on the taxiways and the tarmac. Everything is working fine except at two airports, which are Miami Int'l (KMIA) and London Gatwick (EGKK). For a reason that I ignore, all my planes turn gray after 5 or 10 minutes of spotting at these airports. I've tested other airports in Florida (KFLL and KMCO) as well as in England (EGLL and EGSS) and everything's fine. My question is sim…

i downloaded b707 model (naaib707v5acofadv) from avsim and i make i flyable. but on ground during take-off it moves slowly and never get fast. i chose another plane and took off, then i return back to fly with b707 on higher altitude it stalls may be a problem in this model. could any body have a fix or the correct model.

Hi everyone! I've found a strange document concerning weather at dofferent airports. It's entitled "wprof.txt" and contains the following: KSIY 222219Z 1008.2 W/0/12/0/160/0/0/0 W/962/7/0/170/0/0/0 W/1923/14/0/193/0/0/0 W/2986/30/0/223/0/0/0 W/4181/39/0/228/0/0/0 W/5549/50/0/230/0/0/0 W/7160/54/0/221/0/0/0 W/9139/61/0/225/0/0/0 W/11750/64/0/242/0/0/0 W/15773/37/0/236/0/0/0 T/0/6/0/-2 T/962/1/0/-19 T/1923/-5/0/-25 T/2986/-13/0/-33 T/4181/-21/0/-41 T/5549/-32/0/-52 T/7160/-44/0/-64 T/9139/-50/0/-70 T/11750/-50/0/-70 T/15773/-51/0/-71 C/9/1720/3562/20/7/1/1/0/0/0/0 C/5/2788/3788/20/7/1/1/0/0/0/0 C/5/3625/5616/20/4/1/1/0/0/0/0 C/1/7481/8009/20/1/0/1/0/0/0/0 V/70…

Has anyone here used OpenTrack head tracking software with FS9? I started to set it up and was very excited about the initial results, but now it doesn't seem to be connecting up with FS9. So I'm using SmoothTrack on my iphone as the camera head tracker, OpenTack on the FS computer and FS9. The initial setup went very quick and easy to install and configure and I was seeing amazing results in the virtual cockpit. I then started to setup the curves for all 6 head movement rotations and axis (yaw, pitch, roll, x, y, z). Everything was going well until I got to the last one, the x-axis. I noticed that as I was trying to setup the curve for it there was …

Sorry folks, But i'm I'm back. Does anyone in the FS9 world still update their AI aircraft and flight plans? Reason I'm asking is apparently I have not. In fact I know I have not since a WOAI package I installed several years ago. At the time, It was extremely accurate. In 2022, I still have Delta operating MD-88's & 90's. No A-350's etc. etc. Suggestions? Always appreciated. PS: KRNO (Reno-Tahoe) Upgrade is coming along fine. Trying to get the night lighting maps correct has been my biggest hurdle. I may release my homemade night maps for the entire "default" landscape. If I do this, keep in mind they will be for fast moving jets which overcome inaccuracies …

Good morning I have a little problem since time... in simmarket there is an good airport scenery Skysoft Panzhihua ZUZH,but no exist in fs2004. If I buy it,how can install ?? Thank you at all Regards Andrea

I am running FS9.1 in Windows 10 x64. I use Windows XP service pack 2 compatibility setting. The sim runs well with all the 3rd party stuff I've thrown at it. The screenshot shows the only one of my 'addon' sceneries which is called up under the Search Addon Scenery selector. https://web.tresorit.com/l/b7SPY#rbkAedRTtrZ6mhj9ZNks8A All my dozens of other Addon sceneries are called up by using Search Default Scenery. So this is one puzzle. Maybe related to it is this scenery from the above which contains several objects created by me using a program, the name of which I cannot remember. Possibly Sbuilder. https://web.tresorit.com/l/VbHN0…

I've done some searching on this subject and it appears it can be done successfully in some instances. More curious why folks haven't done this and made it available on sites like these. I'm speaking of freeware versions with original author's permission of course Michael (Mitch)
