In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we l...

After paying for enough plastic that wore and broke I went the metal way and I love this thing.

Now what I need is a good profile to play with.

Anyone out there have any ideas?

I would like to add 1 thing. I have the opportunity to train in (supposedly 60 million dollar) simulators, http://www.csc.com/industries/government/news/2294.shtml and many a time I have told the techs, you guys need to spend 60 bucks and get FSX on here instead. They are graphically and systematica...

If you still have the original fs9.exe file use it, and rename the NOCD patch to back-up PRIOR to installing MS patch. Then after patched with MS upgrade reverse the process. If you dont have original fs9.exe, look for it on disc 1, place it in main directory and rename the NOCD patch backup, contin...

Here's the "BRILLIANT" part of the Army, now they are looking for an "off the shelf" aircraft to replace the Huey. A light-medium utility A/C to replace this beautiful fully functional machine because the Hawk is too much some places and not enough at others when compared to the Huey. Absolutely bri...

Well, I just flew my last day flight in the workhorse and beloved machine which changed aviation, the way helicopters are viewed, utilized and respected worlwide. As of 24 Sep. the Army is divesting itself of all Huey interests, at least at Rucker, and putting them in moth balls. This is a hush hush...

OK, I have some dim lights on my runways. I have gone thru and made the suggested changes "out there" to my fs9.cfg file, but all it changes is the size of the light, not the intensity. I have all 4 light settings at 1.0 and have tried many variations. Now if they were stronger that would be very ni...

And the crowd ROARS!!!! COBRA'S COBRA'S COBRAS'S What else did you expect I would ask for, the F-Model of course, light Tow config with a 19 shot pod on each wing. And a decent true-to-form interior please with working HUD, APR-39 and functional RMS. Is that asking too much? Well, one can always dre...

OK, I found some very nice looking models of AH-1F's and a CH-47. They look great but I got the "this is not supported do you want to turn things off" or something like that line. I answered NO ands get the body of the A/C but no M/R blades. What's the deal with that?. They are for FS2002, but I hav...

Just tried it out and it works.

Don't mean to b a wize azzzz but the "A" is the one on the kneeboard.....right. Not the keyboard.

Just checkin cause like I said...mines working at everything

Funny you should mention this....last night I installed/used coolbits 2.0. My FX 5200 is giving me 25 FPS minimum. I just got done doing a lOOOONG flight and was avg. 30. It supposedly unleashes 25% hidden juice. Search for coolbits or NVIDIA tweaks. Did it in about 15 minutes...if I can pull this o...

Update info for any and all.

Tweaked my GForce FX 5200 with coolbits 2.0 and cut my boot times in half.

FPS increased, now no lower than 25

From 1:28-1:35 is now my avg. and I'm flying thru from screen to screen, about 10 secs.

That did it!!!!

I got a new toy now, flys great, looks great.

Thanx G-Man

I D/L a file from here http://www.surclaro.com/download.php?op=search&query= The BAE Sea Harrier FA2 Supersonic, a fun plane with working TCAS but, my panel is totally black and covers up 75% of the outside scenary. Anyone else experience this. I removed and did a re-install, same result. I'm sure I...

I actually found a file/program that will remove any format of directx but your disc must be installed and then it restores your system to original 8.? I forgot.

Then you go and D/L the updated version, which is where I'm at, 9.0b.

It worked well to.

CD

ok .. re-regsitered DLL's and it's fine SBRelay A.O.K. As far as everything else on the desktop....I'm doin some major file movage, re-vamp, D/L, cleaning etc. Thats y it's all over the Desktop. Oh yea, there's some folders on the desktop with folders IN THEM!! That's what happens when you get off w...

Well it's official...I have issues due to this program.

I D/L new Direct X, it won't even load. License error or something

I don't know how that happened on multiple adds.....anyhow I stand corrected. Problem with this proggy. Just went to start squak box relay and got a directx error. Only thing I have added was this thing and it did have a directx file. So now I can't get on VATSIM due to this thing. I have Norton Go ...

Just played with it, what an excellent job.

How about watching a movie (your DVD) inflight.

LOT's of great lionks inside it too for flt planning etc.

EXCELLENT add-on

Well defrag wont work because I run Diskeeper, it defrags whenever my screensaver comes on. Which means I'm at max defrag all the time As far as memory, I have a gig of DDR. And like I said the game runs great, and so does my system, it flies all the time. It's just the above mentioned that's proble...

I have max programs turned off and the FPS in the sim are great (15-30fps) but boot up and access to the game take forever. Start FS9...blank screen and about 2-3 minutes. All requests inside sim, options, new flight, change airplane etc.....30 seconds min. I have an extensive AI environment and mod...

Thank you for the kind words.

It really was a fun task, I look forward to my next one.....hint, hint.

Question,

I had X-Plane, but the world was always water. Do you have to download the world piece by pieceto make it work.

The planes did look great and fly great, but runways in the middle of nowhere when your going into Kennedy seemed ridiculous.

Just a thought

option 1.....waaaaaaaaaaay outta my league

option 2....right up my alley

thanx

Cobra Driver

My thoughts are based upon the busier airports I have flown into. As you can see below, the stats for the mentioned airports show that the traffic flow for KATL on a daily basis for commercial traffic are roughly 6 times that of KCVG. This would account for KCVG being able to allow for parallel land...

Go to chapter 2-1-1 if the link doesn't take you there.

Hope this helps out with some basic info for all

Cobra Driver

Interestingly enough, that's the way it really happens. Not always but approach control knows what the traffic situation looks like and tower will change flow based upon this info.

So this is the realistic method of operation, and MS did a good job on this one.

Definitely have the plane "completely dirty" gears, full flaps, on long final. And you said you have spoilers armed, make sure you only deploy after touchdown of mains. Also as previously stated, 1100 fpm is way to much of a vertical flight path. Try 400-500 fpm and ALWAYS use the VASI, those red an...

Leaving for work in a bit. When I get back tonight I'll go to work on that.

Thanx

Question about the .bgl files....I noticed above comment on 200 files. Well I have 8181 files, and they r not in the same directories. I have D/L AI A/C and the PAI add-on. I don't notice as much traffic as I would like, and none of the AI A/C I have D/L. (UPS, American, Hooters, Jet Blue, United, S...
