I'm sorry I can't help with the FS9 carriers but does anybody know how to find the FSX carriers, I'm trying to find a carrier to fly the B25 off.

http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/160474.jpgwell i live in Devonport and plymouth it is well represented in my version of FS. for the summer i use the VFR terrain and photo scenery, and for nighttime and other seasons i use FS terrain along with Roads and rivers of europe. combined with Nick Ryall's scenery addons, i have the parkway, the torpoint ferries, the brunnel and saltash bridges, smeatons tower, the dockyard with sub alongside and the break water, i even have St Nicholas Isle (AKA Drakes Island) that was missed out by MS.

make sure your default flight is saved as winter, the default is summer. It is possible to just open the default flight in notepad and change summer to winter, this will sort you out.

downloading now, very slow though, looks like its goin to take a couple of hours to download at only 120ish KB/sec.did not keep the original demo as it ran so badly so i'll have to miss out on the beaver.If i decide ti get it though i will either have to delete stacks of software or buy another/bigger HD.

it would be nice to have a payware quality A318, i have payware versions of the A319, A320, A321, A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, A340-600, and A380, but no A318.

you can load FS flight plans but you have to convert tham using "PLN to RTE v1.0.1.1" by Alan WL Chan which you can find on AVSIM

i most proberbly won't be getting it for my PC, but if it comes out for the Xbox 360 i most probably will get it.

not sure if a 7800 will be worth the money, the limiting fasctor will be the cpu with FS at least although it may help with other games that do not rely on number crunching and use more graphics power.

I went from a AGP 4 G4 Ti4600 to a AGP 8 GF 6600GT, and did not notice any increase in performance, in fact in a couple of cases there was a drop in performance as the new card did not work so well in OGL and i had to use the inferior D3D, but then in those applications the new card did run D3D better and it is a more up to date card.I probably won't be getting Vista as XP has proved for me to be all that 9X was not and i am still running a stable after a few years without the constant reinstalls of old. The only application this system struggles with is FS9 so i won't be getting FSX unless it comes out for the Xbox 360.

unpack the cab file and replace the file in the unpacked cab, the unpacked file will take presidence over the packed file. alternativly you can delete/rename the origianl cab and repack the new folder with cabpack (google will find it for you), the program is old but works fine in XPI have used the first option here to change my fs9gps.cab with edited bitmaps to better represent the real garmin unitshttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/153173.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/153175.jpg

only the upper dack is included in the VC, the economy and lower deck are rendered but only in spot view and at much lower quality.

you can remove the "crash" message and all/any other on screen messages by editing the language.dll file, for example i use a fly by view instead of tower view and have edited my file so it reads fly by instead of tower view. You can do it with a hex editer but the easyest program to use is "Resource Hacker" it is free, and a google search will find it for you.

thanks for the edits, but i don't think you understood my drift. what i meant was i do not understand the reason for having wing views if you do not have a cabin, because you cannot see the wing views from the cockpit, i think it is far more important to have a cockpit even if it is only a 2 D version although it is important it has some kind of side views, personally i think it is unacceptable for a payware aircraft to have no cockpit.

i got it ages ago on the strenght of the Cockpit update, I see little point in wing views if there is no cabin as one cannot see the wings from the flight deck. In the end i have given up on waiting for the prommised cockpit update, and ordered the Just flight Pilot in command version of this plane.

I to am a mite confused, I have GE, FE, and use FSMetar for weather genration; is it worth my while getting GEPro? How will it react with FE will it negate its effect, also how does it work with FSUIPC which i use to further cunstomise clouds and visibility?Cheers

thanks for your help, i'll wait untill the new ones come out.

not sure if this is anything to do with it but the PSSSid.dat file is smaller than the PSSSid.DAT.BAK file, i would have thought it would have been bigger. I just tried re-running the program using PSS_Procedures_0513.exe and it works fine, also both created files are bigger than the originals and the DAT.BAK files were not created.

here is the file, although the upload process has changed its name to 150515. I'll also upload it zipped to see if that makes things better.cheers

I am using PSS_Insert V1.2, i have used it successfully since you have been doing the updates. the effor found file is attached to my last post. i am trying to insert the most recent psssid.dat and pssstar.dat files from PSS_Procedures_0605.exe I always update from my original backup files. PSSSid.dat was created not prob, as are the PSSSid.DAT.BAK and PSSStar.DAT.BAK filescheers

Hi there, thanks for all your work. i am having a problem though, trying to update the PSS files i keep getting this "Error Found.txt" file and the star is not updated/created.

a problem has recently developed with my FS9, when i press any of the buttons on my joystick the game closes without any warning dumping me back to the desktop. I have 3 controllers setup for use in FS9; a MSFF2 joystick, a Momo Force steering wheel, and an Act-Labs USB shifter and performance pedals; I have changed the assignments on the joystick, but i still get the problem when letting FS9 create a new fs9.cfg. I have even tried it with a different joystick (a Sytec Cyborg 3D Gold instead of the MSFF2) but still have the problem. I use the buttons from the other 2 controllers with no problem at all; I also used the pedals from the Momo as rudder pedals in FS and the shifter is assigned to variouse controlls just as flaps, gear, drop tanks etc. The Momo wheel axis is not assigned, niether are the clutch, brake and throttle axis' from the performance pedals.I have updated all drivers, but still have the problem, even when i press an un-assigned button it still causes the game to shut down, if i replace my joystick with my Xbox 360 controllers there is no preoblem and all axis and buttons work.Any Ideas?Cheers

great here, i've had non of the problems other talk of, but then i only have the frieght model, very cheap when compared to the other big jets, especially if you take advantage of the many free repaints instead of buying the official ones. with the cargo version the amount of gargo seen in the holds is directly related to the load in the load manager, the VC is fantastic and up with the best, the integrated weather radar is still unique AFAIK, the auto trim works great aswell. I am well pleased with it and i do own big jets from many of the others players in the market.

cheers alex, must agree the outside looks very nice, but the cockpit does not look to good, how does the fly by wire work, can you stall it? to my mind the main problem with the PSS jets is you can stall/crash them. there are a couple of free 600s out there i think they are for fs8 though. for

CLS have released the 340-600, does anybody have any idea how good it is, I have all the PSS busses and would love the 600 to complement the series, but how does it compare to the PSS version?cheers

yes, just open the file with notepad. it gives you load of data such as the posiiton of the plane, position and size of various windows, state of aircraft settings etc.in case you did not allready know this if you right click on the file (or set the default to open with) and select to open with FS9 flight sim will open straight into the flight using the details in the flt file without going through the opening screens.
