OK, so I finally got FS9 and of course have a few problems. Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I didn't see any answers to these questions in this forum. No.1 Why do my contrails look like this? http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/40840.jpgThe bottom part actually drags across the landscape. Pretty irritating when you're flying through downtown London and all of a sudden all these bottom feeding contrails zip past you. User contrails look the same. What can I do?Problem No.2 I have the current version of FSMeteo. Everytime I try to use "download world WX and stay offline" after determning the local weather it goes into loops of apparently trying to "set global WX and..." what ever nearby other airports it finds. It then times out on global and on the local airport. This goes on for 10 plus minutes after which I lose my patience. During this time it doesn't load any weather in FS, where the skies stay clear. Anyone know the solution?Problem No.3 Texture reloading at lower quality for no apparent reason was bad enough in FS2002. In denser scenery areas in FS9 it's intolerable. I fly around something like London Heathrow everything is fine, then I look to the side and FS replaces all textures with total blurriness. Is there anything one can do to stop the program from thinking it knows better than you what you really want?All help appreciated. Thanks in advance.Misha

Hello,It might be good to list some of your systems specs. As for the contrail problem, I tried to help someone with this recently but I didn't not have a solution, but he seemed to find a cure I guess, his video card driver. Have a look at this thread...http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...topic_id=148475Not sure what to say exactly about your texture relaoding problem. You're welcome to have a look at another thread that I was pretty active in trying to help someone cure they're performance woes. You might want to mostly look at the snippet I posted of my FS9.cfg file and set the parameters I have changed in there to the same settings in your FS9.cfg file.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...topic_id=148068Hopefully someone else has an idea about the FSMeteo problem. I use WeatherCenter 2.3.1.Good Luck,JimHello Tower, I need clearance Clarence. Roger Victor what's your vector?

Hi,I'd recommend you email the developer directly for the problem with FSMeteo. Every time I've had any issue they've always gotten back to me really fast with a solution that works.I think it's [email protected], but I'm not 100% sure on that.Regards,MarcMarc Gibson
