  1. What a stunner of a paint. Great to see you back in action. Can we expect anymore A340-600s? FS is missing a good Qatar 346 imo ^_^
  2. I've been looking for a good merge for the POSKY 777-300 series, can anyone point me in the right direction?
  3. Great looking paint there, one of the best liveries flying!Tom, do you plan to release any more POSKY T7's by any chance? I can't get enough of them I'm particularly waiting on the EK 773ER :(
  4. Problem solved, the issue only occurs when any one of the five fuel tanks are completely empty.
  5. Hi, I have just tried this merge and there seems to be a big problem...Landing with about 28,857lbs of fuel remaining, causes all the ECAM warnings and audbile alerts to go off and the electrical, hydraulics and engines to turn off and the aircraft becomes a glider!I thought 25-30,000lbs of fuel on landing is more than enough for a 777?
  6. Hi Boeingsta,Can you please confirm if your merge is compatible with the latest POSKY FDE? I believe the version is G.
  7. HiI've been out of the FS game for sometime and want to get back into it!Apologies to bring up yet another POSKY 777/PSS Merge thread, however, after trawling through forums, I haven't been able to find a recent merge for the POSKY 777 using their latest Version G (Dec 2010) FDE update, with the PSS Panel.Can anyone kindly supply me with a working merge?Many thanks in advance.
  8. Does anyone have a good working 777-300 merge?
  9. So it is possible then, thanks guys.
  10. Hi guys,I'm looking to purchase REX for FS2004, however I would like to use Active Sky's weather engine and also its sky colours, as I find REX a tad too blue for my liking.I know many are using Active Sky to generate the weather, however I'm not sure if anyone is using REX for everything EXCEPT the sky textures. My question is can the above combo be done and if so, does it involve manual swapping of files, or can it just be done via options on both Active Sky and REX FS2004?Thanks in advance for any tips, advice and help!
  11. Has anyone managed to get the merge to work with the POSKY 777-300? The one I tried did not make the main bogie's tilt flat on the ground, instead they remained in their titled position all the time :( Anyway of merging it is much appreciated!
  12. Thanks for all the help guys, I guess I raised me expectation a tad high, its been a while after all since I've been on fs9!! Guess I'll just have to except it for what it is and try and enjoy the nice fps!
  13. Thanks a lot for your input guys, maybe I'm expecting too much in terms of the distant(ish) textures not being so crisp, maybe it's just a fs2004 limitation as put by the posts above, however what my main concern is that my sim don't appear to always be even at a reasonable' standard as one would expect with a 'reasonable' system as opposed to a pimped one. For instance the noticeable amount of blurring fairly close to where I'm flying. This is something I need to iron out, I will try the settings some of you have mentioned above. I would also be interested in asking others with a smilar set up to mine, so seeing what other i7 users with nvidia gtx series graphics cards have under their fs9.cfg and also nhancer settings, as there is very little advice about settings in fs2004 for these 'faily newer' processors and graphics cards...If anyone knows of any particular users I could ask with similar set ups please let me know...Thanks again.
  14. Well I'm truly shocked! I'll try bringing the FPS lock down, I previously had it locked at 30 fps, but tried increasing it to see if it makes a difference. The funny thing is, I always seem to remember certain users with lower end systems, but still managing to pull out great screenshots (unedited) from their sims, with sharp textures that stretch beyond what I'm seeing on my system! Surely there must be benefits of using FS2004 when having an i7940, 6gb of RAM and a GTX 285 which is factory overlocked!? Don't get me wrong my frames are just phenomenal, I'm hittng 30-40 fps with full traffic PMDG 744. Level D 767 at heavy airports like Aerosoft Frankfurt! My aircraft textures also look perfect, so sharp and realistic, it's just the not so distant scenery textures that are a let down...
  15. Just tried them, it does not appear to have made much difference, it just seems as though there's like a boundary line where the sim is just not loading the textures quick enough? or just not loading the textures beyond this 'boundary' up sharp enough.
  16. Thanks Egbert! May I ask what system you're running? I'll give these a try and report back, any more suggestions are most welcome! ;)
  17. Hi,I'm using FS2004 on an i7940 and a ENGTX GTX285 TOP graphics card, however I'm having problems with blurry textures as I posted in this post: http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...p;#entry1570616Could anyone using this setup or a similar system please offer me some guidance in terms of nhancer settings as well as fs9.cfg tweaks or something in order to lose the blurry texture problem, I've tried all searches and researched everything but to no avail. Really appreciate any of your inputs!Kind Regards,Bhavesh
  18. Hi guys,I'm experiencing blurry textures in FS2004, I see blurries further a away whereas the immediate area around the aircraft is fine. I know there have been so many posts on this and I've searched them all and nothing has helped me. I'm also running a more powerful system than the users that have previously posted about blurry textures so previous posts have not helped. My system specs are as follows (to be honest I never thought I'd ever have problems with blurry textures when I got my new system! :( )Intel Core i7 (940) 2.93GHz Processor L3 Cache 8192KB Asus P6T DELUXE/OC PALM Corsair CMPSU-750TXUK - Corsair TX 750W Power SupplyVista Home 64bitNVIDIA GeForce ASUS ENGTX GTX285 TOP- Video Memory: 1GB GDDR3- Engine Clock: 670MHz- Memory Clock: 2600MHz (1300MHz DDR3)- Memory Interface: 512-bit- RAMDACs: 400MHz- Max.

  22. Hi,Apologies if this has been asked before, but I'm due to get back into simming after a long break due to my system dying on me. I would just like someone to remind me of the correct order to install Active Sky on FS2004, do I install it before I install the FS2004 update file that Microsoft released 9.1 I think it was, or do I do it the other way round? The reason I ask is because when I initially installed Active Sky a long time ago, I had issues with it, which I found out was due to the order in which I had installed it versus the fs2004 update, but I can't remember which way round I should do it. Any help is much appreciated!Thanks.
  23. Very useful thread, thanks for the replies, I'm so glad vista 64 and fs9 requires no editing of the fs9.exe very comforting to know!! so will fs9 be able to utilise say 6GB of RAM on a Vista64 system or will it still only handle 2gb?
  24. I should be getting the same system soon and intend on still using fs9 with vista 64, I have heard of people editing the fs9.exe file in order to allow for more RAM to be used, is this necessary and if so, what's the easiest way of doing it? Apologies for hijacking the thread but I gathered it may be relevant here...
  25. Thanks for the reply Nealoc187, but I do intend on using fsx as well as fs9, in other words I'm looking to have a pc that will be serve me well for a good few years in terms of flightsimming. So in that case I wouldn't say it's an overkill, especially when thinking about fsx with high settings and add ons. Also the way I see it is like owning a really fast supercar, the chances are you'll never really get the chance to see what it can really do on the roads, however it's still nice to know what the car's capable of just in case ;)Can anyone advise on case and cooling as posted above?
