  1. Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can possibly tell me where I might be able to find helicopter AI traffic around the Hawaiian islands. I've looked but can't seem to find any. Thanks.
  2. Maybe you'd be able to handle this one then. After looking again I don't believe this AFCAD came with the scenery mentioned. I think I just use them together. Let me know if you'd like to take a look. I'd also like a look at your updated KRNT if possible.
  3. If you'd like to send me a blank check for the system that can run it the way I want I'm game. :smile:
  4. Hello. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to request for a specific airport scenery to be done? I have the scenery that was made by Dave Erickson (jksnhole04.zip) back in 2003 but things have changed at the airport since then and it would be nice to have it updated. Rwy numbers have changed and it looks like the VOR freq has changed as well. I tried to contact Dave at the address in his documentation but it is no longer valid and I was hoping someone might be willing to redo it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  5. Hello. I seem to be having an issue with the TDS 787-8 and getting the auto spoiler to actually deploy on landing. The option is set, and it tells me so written right on the panel, but nothing happens. I can get them to deploy manually however. Does anyone know how I might be able to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  6. Hello. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with something. I have some added scenery items at a specific airport (KCLS) that apparently are mislabeled or something. After removing the added scenery items correctly labeled for the airport I still have some left over static pieces that must be installed somewhere but I can't find them. Is there anyway to track them down so I can find out where the .bgl is that is putting them there? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Never mind. I think I just found it.
  7. These don't look like stand-alone tools and instead install many pieces (which I'd rather not do). Any chance I could send you the files to check out?
  8. Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not but I figured I'd give it a try. I'm trying to help my father figure out an issue he is having with his FS9. Both he and I have a couple of files in the Addon Scenery\scenery folder called "landclassE.bgl" and "landclassW.bgl". My FS9 seems to be okay but these two files are causing the sim to crash on him around 20 miles or so from the Whidbey Island VOR in WA state. If he removes the two files mentioned things work fine. Both he and I have pretty much the same scenery installed so I can help him with stuff like this. Here's the trouble... I have no idea what these files are specifically for. I thought maybe they were part some FSGenesis stuff but I'm not sure. I sent him my two files to try but the same issue happens for him. Does anyone happen to know what these files are specifically for? What areas, etc.? Or, if I were to send them to you, do you have a way of finding out? I have tried searching online for these names but I can't find anything and I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  9. So it looks like just removing that file seems to work. I guess that's odd to me but perhaps you can explain why that is. Thanks very much!
  10. I don't even remember where I got. I don't know how to fix it myself as I said but I will try some of the other options and see what happens. The orig painter's account is no longer active as mentioned above. Thanks!
  11. I have no idea how to do that. Any chance I could get you to look at "ups_md-11__sms_.zip" and check it out?
  12. So I found that the FedEx words on the engines only appear when the landing lights are on. Can anyone tell me if this is fixable?
  13. So I think I found the SMS version. I guess it's also Overland? (Pretty close to the same looking strobes though.) Anyway, after loading the UPS textures I found (ups_md-11__sms_.zip) there are FedEx words on the engine cowlings. But, only at night. During the day it looks fine. I sent a message to the person who did the UPS paint but the account is no longer active. Does anyone know how I might be able to fix this?
  14. Is this Simmer's Sky Model still available somewhere? If so can you point me?
  15. I was thinking it was the other way around. Oh well. If anyone has ideas on what might be a better model MD-11 all around I'd be interested. Thanks.
  16. So none of those entries in "light.2" control the rate of flash? Well that stinks. Oh well. I have looked for a better freeware MD-11 but can't find anything. Any suggestions?
  17. I believe it does have wing flex. Here is the Lights section... [lights] //Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing light.0 = 1, -23.26, 0, -9.55, fx_beacon light.1 = 1, 0, 0, 10.66, fx_beacon light.2 = 4, 93.45, 0, 5.23, fx_vclight
  18. ifdg MD-11?
  19. So if that line is there what would I adjust to make the lights not stay on as long? So they actually strobe and not just light up for a while? Can that be changed?
  20. Hello. Is there a line in the aircraft.cfg files (or anywhere that can be adjusted really) that controls the strobe light flashes? I have a couple of aircraft where the strobes don't blink the way they should (frequency, etc.) and I was hoping that could be easily adjusted somehow. Or is that something that is hard-coded in the .mdl file or something like that? Thanks!
  21. Not unless there is something unusual about the files that makeup this particular panel/throttle. The examples given above happen when clicking/dragging on the throttle in the panel window or when using a GoFlight Throttle Quadrant. (Other aircraft are okay.)
  22. Hello. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm having an odd issue with the fsx_posky_b747-400_panel_project_jeanne panel in FSX as modified by Ken Wigginton. I have contacted Ken but after his reply I'm still not sure what to do and am hoping someone might know. Here are the messages... Hello, Ken. I'm hoping you can answer a question for me regarding the "fsx_posky_b747-400_panel_project_jeanne" panel in FSX. It seems that I'm having an issue with the throttles. One and two move independent but for some reason three and four are locked together. If I try to move just three, both three and four move and adjust. And if I try to move just four, both levers move but only thrust for three changes. Do you think you can help me figure out what's going on? --------- I doubt that I can be of much help as I don't use variational throttle inputs. The VC panel in this package uses one form of Ken Mitchell throttle .xml, which, if I read it correctly, is a three-input system with macroed clicks; and the 2D uses a four-input system tied to a uni-throttle control. Ken is long retired from flightsim and I don't know "why" they are written that way, but he was pretty clever about MSFS' limitations and what could be done. (In other words, I doubt that his coding is a "mistake".) Good thin with .xml, of course, is anyone can open it with Notepad and read it and tinker with it for themselves. Just save an unaltered copy so you have a fallback if things go haywire! Any help from the group would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  23. I actually never got notified of this post but noticed recently things had changed. A belated "thanks" for looking into it.
  24. Found them. It was the ones beginning with Os_. Thanks!
  25. Hello. I'm not exactly sure where to post this so I guess I'll start here. I have installed a couple of POSKY 747's in FSX but seem to be missing some textures and I'm not sure why. I have the PW4000 and the RB211. Things seem fine with the RB211 but in the PW4000 I'm missing textures for the tow, catering vehicles and stairs. (I have a picture to show but can't seem to get that to work in these forums anymore). If anyone knows what I'm missing and where I'm missing it from, the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
