Hi, Very sad, sorry to see this. BTW, I think you are referring to your jet sounds and not your DC-6 and DC-7 sounds, which are available as freeware here. I have links to those files on my site. They are great, thanks.

There should be a place to sign up at the top of the main forum page?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It's little things like your comments that keeps me going. Take care,

Thanks for the vote for CalClassic scenery - while we don't use all the fancy visual effects (no sattelite images for 1962 that are clear enough!), I'm glad it made the list.

These days, as much or more FM info is also kept in the aircraft.cfg file. So you will need to: 1. Back up the plane's aircraft.cfg file by renaming it to aircraft_old.cfg 2. Copy and paste the aircraft.cfg file and the AIR file from the plane that flies as you want. For most aircraft, you also need to copy over these section from the original aircraft.cfg file into the one copied from the other plane (overwriting these sections): 1. All the fltsim sections 2. The Lights section 3. The Views section 4. The Contact Points section Then edit the sim= line in each fltsim section to point to the copied air file (the original copied aircraft.cfg file will have the correct sim= line). Hope this helps,

Right click on the Windows desktop, and choose NVidia (or ATI) Settings. If it's not there, choose Properties/Settings Tab/Advanced. Then it depends on your video driver software where to go next. It's in there...Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,In Windows Explorer/My Computer, double click on the CAB file. Right click on the 747's folder. Choose Extract. Choose the place to put it.Done!--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,Yes, read the TTools documentation and then come back with any specific question you might still have.The short answer is that the AC# listed in the flight plan file must match up with the AC# listed in the aircraft.txt file. And the aircraft.txt file must get it's aircraft info from the title= line of the plane's aircraft.cfg file. That's how they match up.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,As stated above, it's the new panel that's causing this problem. Many panels send out signals to FS at rapid intervals, and this causes multi key commands to fail. Since Shift-E + 1 and Shift-E +2 is now equivalent to Shift-E (the L1 door command), that's all you get. Change the Shift-E + 2 keystroke sequence to some other keystroke (NOT using two key presses) and it should be fixed, or you can use one of the solutions above.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,You apparently have a background program running that causes FS to CTD when it "activates" after a certain time. You will need to stop this program before running FS. Try shutting down your antivirus and anti-spyware programs first (after disconnecting from the net).Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,Well, that text is certainly different than "It's needed". :)That indicates that the sim thinks that this is part of the default core of the sim, and should not be inactivated. I suspect that there is an entry in the scenery.cfg file (something like required=1) that is preventing this. I am not at my sim computer and cannot check this, though.The other possibility is that the 9 Dragons installer installs this scenery to a certain scenery.cfg entry number reserved for default scenery.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,You must quit FS9 before your program saves the file. If you don't, then FS9 will save the file as it exits, using the OLD file instead - none of your edits will be in there.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,The speed used in the aircraft.cfg file determines how far out it will be placed when you load an airport, for example. Since you have a very high speed there (I assume), it will be loaded far from the airport and will arrive late. You can reduce this speed, but it might cause some odd behavior when the plane is loaded while cruising. But since this is normally over the ocean you may never see it. :)PS. This speed setting will have no effect on its actual cruise speed in flight.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Hi,If you reassigned cargo doors to Ctrl-Shift-T then you have inactivated Shift-E 2, since that is the same command! So Shift-E 2 just becomes Shift-E, which is the passenger door.Try Shift-E and then 3 (or 4). If that doesn't work, I assume those doors never really opened, or they used some other key command (like the tailhook, which you have now inactivated by assigning it's key sequence to the cargo doors).Assign Shift-E 2 back to the Cargo Doors, and Ctrl-Shift-t back to the tailhook. Then try both of those commands.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Yes, a defrag might help.If it doesn't, I would quit FS, rename the fs9.cfg file to fs9.cfg.old and restart FS. This should create a new "fresh" copy.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
