hi,OMG I cant believe I didint try doing that. :-) just to be sure, you mean pause the sim? ;-)Andrew

hi,Ive been havin trouble when ever I try to load the plane up with fuel or change the fuel load. The problem is that when I try to change the amount of fuel in the tanks the amount of fuel in the left and right tanks always refuses to change (I say left or right tanks because it alternates sometimes, sometimes its the right tank with the problem sometimes its the left). Take a look at the screenshots for an illustration of the problem.AndrewPS. As you can see this time it was the left tank that refused to change and stayed at 100% fuel, most of the time its the left tank that refuses to change.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/28949.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/28950.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/28951.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/28952.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/28953.jpg

hi,I still have the bug where I cant change the amount of fuel in the fuel tanks even after the patch. BTW I did try going into the aircraft.cfg and setting the number of fuel tank selectors to 3 and the doesent work. I also tried using the remove tool and installing the patch over a clean install of the pmdg 737.Andrew

hi,Found a temporary fix for the radeon 9000/9100/9200 users enable Anisotropic filtering to the lowest setting, enabling fsaa by itself also works to fix the haze/fog problem. I prefer not to enable FSAA in fs2004 (too much fps hit) so I just enabled Anisotropic filtering to the lowest setting with barely any fps hit and it looks great.AndrewPS. If it doesent work, get the latest Omega ATI drivers then try enabling Anisotropic filtering by itself to the lowest setting again.

hi,I was wondering where I could find the uninstall program as I have a feeling the SP 1 update isint installing properly and would like to install the pmdg 737 and the patch again.Andrew

hi,Lately I have been having this problem in fs2004 (look at screenshot) whenever I try to fly in low visibility or in fog. I have tried everything I can think of...(updating to the official ATI catalyst 3.6 drivers, and trying the omega 3.6 drivers and no go.) I have no idea how to cure this very annoying problem which happens in both windowed and full screen mode.Andrewhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/28629.jpg

hi,I am getting this weird problem when ever my machine tries to render fog or low visibility in fs2004. This is what happens when I lower the visibility..........(look at the pic). Also it doesent show in the pic but when this happens all my autogen objects turn white. I have a feeling this has to do with my video card (radeon 9000 pro is an 8500 with a new name) BTW. How do I fix this? You gotta admit this dont look right and actually makes the sim look quite ugly. Andrewhttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/27222.jpghttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/27224.jpg

hi,Yea I agree an indcator would be great lol "Red: expect heavy delays" "yellow: caution very busy" "green: expect minamal delays"Andrew

hi,Oh man you had me there for a couple seconds "Some pic to share for "guys or adult" only:" LOL :-lolAndrew

hi,Weird, Monty I live in Ontario also in SOCAL and I also ordered from provantage and my copy shipped from PA like 2000nm miles away FEDEX ground :-( Dang it I'm really angry :-( Why didin't it ship from a warehouse in Socal. They charged 12 bucks for ground shipping too, huge rip off compared to what people in other states get charged for shipping.AndrewPS. Thanks to provantage shipping from PA I have to wait till the 30th for fedex to deliver my copy even though I ordered the 22nd, past the 5 days money back guerentee too :-(.

hi,Well, I'm sure avsim has it's reasons but it is Toms house and we are all guests in his forums, therefore everyone follows his rules or leaves :-) I can't say I agree with all the rules but I don't want to get kicked out of his forums. :-)Andrew

hi,Yes I received my fedex tracking number...It hasent been scanned since Thursday though when it left PA. It might have gotten to CA over the weekend and hasent been scanned. I think its unlikely that it's here already though :-( but calling them on Monday to see if its in CA already is worth a shot. :-)AndrewTracking Number : *******************Customer Reference Number : Invoice Number : ******** Purchase Order Number : ********** Ship Date : 07/23/2003Estimated Delivery Date : 07/29/2003Delivery Location : Riverside Delivery Date/Time : Signed For By : Service Type : Ground-DomesticTotal Weight : 2.0 lbs.Scan Activity Date/Time------------- ----------------Departed FedEx sort facility 07/24/2003 13:25 Harrisburg paScanned at FedEx sort facility 07/24/2003 04:56 Harrisburg paPackage information transmitted to FedEx 07/23/2003 23:09 ,Customer-Loaded Trailer Picked Up 07/23/2003 00:00 Jonestown paQuantity 1 - (MSXG02J) Flight Simulator 2004 Century Flight Edition *CD* RETAIL BOXED @ $47.47 each.

hi,I'm gonna give them a call on Monday and see if it has arrived at a fedex facility in California yet. Maybe I can go pick it up early instead of sitting around waiting for them to deliver it. :-) It's happened to me before with UPS where it arrives a day or so early and then they hold it until the scheduled delivery date and I can go pick it up early.Andrew

hi,DUDE unless your a beta tester you cant be asking for support for a beta copy. It would be different if you have a regular copy. I suggest you buy the final version!!! :-)Andrew

hi,I ordered Fs2004 from provantage.com on Tuesday via Fedex ground, I just called and the person on the other side said "It's not scheduled for delivery until the 30th" which By the way is passed the guerenteed (or money back) 5 days for Fedex ground and I intend to ask for a refund on my shipping costs if they do deliver on the 30th. Have any of you had good experiences with Fedex ground maybe delivering packages ahead of schedule? I know they say 5 business days so weekends don't count but provantage shipped on the 23rd and 5 business days are up exactly on the 29th. So I hope they deliver and I dont have to ask for my money back :-) Okay, so have any of you had good experiences with Fedex ground shipping? I'm kind of used to UPS as you can see from my banner LOL.Andrew

noel,Im in the same boat as you I ordered ground thinking it would get to southern California early but the thing shipped from freaking Jonestown, PA , :-( The weekend is gonna be torture!!! Do you have aim? since where in the same boat we should keep in touch mine is ups767300.AndrewPS. I can't beleive I fell for the "regional warehouse" bs, its more like regional for the northeast, what do they have 22 regional warehouses in PA or what??? Also when is yours scheduled to be delivered? Mine is set for the 29th but I called and the lady said the 30th which is passed the guarenteed 5 days. I sooooo don't like fedex. lol

hi,I ordered online too 2 days ago but havent received it yet from provantage.com, I highly dought they counterfeit anything and besides why would a counter-fiter go the extra mile and fabricate a tin box LOL.

hi,SO basically they are calling anyone who purchased an got it early and illegal user? Andrew

hi,Well I've read some reviews on Provantage and most of them say "fast ground shipping to CA". :-) My copy shipped from Jonestown, PA which is really far from CA so I'm not expecting it until next Monday or so.Andrew

hi,Well looks like I'll be waiting til lthe 29th :-( You guys enjoy your copies. :-)Andrew ps. Next day shipping to California was 33.98 and I couldent think of a reason to pay that much money for shipping then but now I regret not getting atleast the 22 dollar second day shipping. :-( Lesson learned for next time. :-)Ship date Jul 23, 2003 Estimated delivery date 07/29/2003 Delivery location Riverside Service type Ground-Domestic Weight 2.0 lbs.

hi,Still no tracking number for me :-( I called and they said it shipped but the tracking number wont be provided till tommorow.AndrewPS. Ordered yesterday evening.

hi,Nah :-) this is important. ;-)Andrew

.

hi,I don't really care wheather or not the store I'm buying from follows "Microsoft's so called guidelines" . As long as it's a legit copy straight from Microsoft's press then Im cool with it and hey if I can get it early thats even better!! :-)Andrew

hi,WOOO HOO!! thanks for confirming that they are shipping early :-) Been waiting about 20 mins for my tracking number. :-)Andrew
