I am still using FS9. The reason is very simple. I had already bought many addons when FSX came out. Because they were not compatible with FSX I stayed with FS9. (and missed the new train)

This message is just to mention to you that you ask a lot: Wilco 170, PMDG 737NGX & NG, Aerosoft Airbus X and CS 757-200 plus the freeware versions.Moreover, if you go online with your va, you need additionally all the AI versions (e.g. MTL aircrafts at IVAO).RobOccasional painter

HiThere is a repaint available on the internet:look hereIf you have difficulties to download it let me know.SuccessRob

Here there is a teaser for the PMDG's

I want to have them still together because sometimes when I paint the 800 I discover a similar error in the 600. So, I want to check them all before sending.I hope to be ready at Thursday, because after that I am two weeks not available for painting.Anyway, I will surely send you then what is ready. All further communications I will pass from now on by your email.Regards

B737-600 "City of Ventspils" is ready.

Almost ready - still have just a texture problem in the strip at the left-under side of the front door. Still have to puzzle that.

What do you think?Look careful and give remarks.Tell me what you want and what not. I would prefer something more permanent. The aircraft on your website is named "City of ..." but I can't read. Give me names of the most important cities of Latvia you want on the a/c.

But there is one on airliners.net with more dark brownish color.I have started already with that color (on the B737-700) because this is also the color at the picture on your site. (I like it more, but OK that 's my taste)I give you already a picture here. I have some other questions:1) are the B737-700 and -800 with or without winglets2) are you intending to have the same a/c on the network? Then I need to paint also the MTL's.

I suppose it's with the colors of this one.http://www.flickr.com/photos/46423105@N03/5217506606/lightbox/

I am tempting to do it (for free!)Can you show some pictures or should they be painted according to the picture on your site? However the latter is in B/W.

Hi,Now I discovered the same thing in Bulgaria. A part of Bulgaria is sunk now, putting the airport of Plovdiv on a plateau. The difference with the former Spain scenery problem is that I don't have this sunk scenery when I depart from Plovdiv, only when I arrive there.Does anyone knows what scenery is interfering there? Thanks in advanceRob

Hi Christian,A GREAT THANKS !!! It was indeed Olbia VFR. How is it possible that a local Italian VFR mesh can demolish half of the Spain scenery.I am now performing the Spanish IFR tour and it was horrible to see every time half of Spain sunk.Again, thank you very much.Best regardsRob

Hi,Since a week ago I discovered that the a great central part of Spain is sunk and only water parts and airports are on normal level. The sunk part appears in squares when I fly over it, just like the normal evolution of the scenery in squares. I don't know what I did wrong. I use FS9 and have a lot of freeware and payware scenery of Spain, but as far as I know no mesh.I would very appreciate if someone could give me some hints about what is wrong here. RegardsRob

I use it with FS9 and keep it because it's the only way to see contrails in on-line flying.But, this product could be better and in its present form it isn't worth the money.Rob

PROBLEM SOLVEDThere was a double definition of AES BASEPACK in the scenery.cfg file. (How that come I don't know). I installed AES 2.07 and it gave me this warning and the program repaired it. It was not a transparent issue as I thought first but an AES issue as Mike suggested.Rob

You are right, Mike.It's completely puzzling to me.I checked other scenery and as far as I could observe I didn't find any anomalies there. I was making the flight EBBR-LHBP on Saturday and discovered those two issues. I will look further. Anyway, I let you know if I eventually come up with a solution.Thanks Rob

Here is another one: look at the broken jetways at LHBPThanksRob

Thanks, Mike, for your answer No, all sliders were and are full to the right, except water textures (which is then automatic set low) Nothing, as far as I remember.Kind regardsRob

Hi all,I have a strange problem. Since yesterday suddenly all transparent buidings in each scenery have disappeared.I give you here the example of Brussels where the right terminal which is transparent has disappeared whereas the left one which is not remains visible. Anyone helping me in this issue would be great.(Win XP - FS2004 - AES) ThanksRob

Thanks, John and Red.I will try as you propose.Rob

Hi,Does anybody know a good program to scan for double afcad files?I have tried scanafd but I have the impression that it detects more so-called duplicates than the real afcads.Thanks

Thanks Robert and Momtchil,Finally, answers from staff members.Yes, I understand the argument that there are a lot of freeware developers which also need to be awarded in some way.But my special respect to Robert-Jan is inspired by his long-standing work, which consists of nearly each day during all these years searching on the net for new freeware scenery and cataloguing it. And, contrary to one might think, it is not only restricted to searching in Avsim libraries. I can assure that, for instance, the widely spread French scenery is moving all the time and not always easy to localize again. Even after AVSIM was hacked, he managed to change many links to flightsim.com for those files that were available there, all that in order to keep on serving the Flightsim community.I have never known an individual doing such constant task for us all. I still see in many forums that people refer to his site. His site must have a tremendous amounts of hits every day, but he is even so humble not to put a counter. I raised the demand here and leave AVSIM as the first big FS-site to think about it. But, not for long. I will try to put all my efforts in one way or another in seeing him to be awarded for his work.PS. I have no relation with Robert-Jan whatsoever. The only contact that I have with him is by sending him once and a while a correction for a broken link which he answers with a "thanks". I sincerely hope that he is not reading these posts.And ... concerning the donation, even an automatic mail with some kind of gratitude would be the slightest sign of politeness to someone who donates. At least he knows then that his money did arrive in the right hands.RegardsRob

... and AVSIM hasn't still ears for it. Why do commercial companies receive awards and people doing for free long-standing work for the FS community not?At least I would expect an answer from the staff, but apparently they didn't. That's AVSIMPSLast year I started to give a donation ($10) which I would make to a yearly habit. I didn't receive even the slightest "thank you" whatsoever. The only way that I discovered that they received my money was when I saw it was withdrawn from my bank account.

----- OPEN LETTER ----------------Dear Staff members,There is a person in Holland, Robert-Jan Oosterloo, who keeps a list of all freeware sceneries available for FS2004 and FSX. This list can be found on http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.phpThis person does this research continuously and in a meticulous way since a long period (surely, for more than 5 years).I have noticed that people in several forum posts are being referred to his site and found the freeware scenery they were looking for.My question is now the following. Why can such a guy, performing a non-profit task, not receive a reward in some way, if I compare with all the rewards that are given to commercial add-ons?I have in no way connection with this guy, but I just want to see that someone being all those years of strategic importance for the FS community would receive a kind of recognition for his longstanding work. This needs not to cost anything, but could be a kind of public award given to him.I hope that you, as claimed to be the n
