I had forgotten I had posted the request on how to employ the auto-coordination feature in MSFS! Hadn't touched MSFS in about a year. MSFS is difficult to get into. Hardest learning curve of any Flisim I've ever seen. Have yet to complete a single flight. My biggest gripe about about MSFS is that it didn't come preprogramed for my CH Yoke. Got the CH Eclipse Yoke and it's proving to be equally diffcult to program for use with MSFS. My second biggest gripe is that MSFS doesn't use the same keyboard\yoke commands that previous versions of FS used (FS2002. FS100 and FSX). BTW. where exactly is the auto rubber option in the assistance option? I haven't been able to find it!

Thanks guys (sorry to take so long to reply)!

If you didn't have rudder pedals, you could, in past versions of FS use auto-coordination to operaed the yoke and rudders simultaneously. Does MSFS have this as well? I'm unable to use my rudder pedals, at least for the time being, after having my right foot amputated two months ago. I lost my left foot in 2018. I hope to be getting a prosthetic for the right foot in a month or two. In the meantime it'll be difficult to operate the rudders via the keyboard. With prosthetics I'll be able to operate the rudders (but not the toe breaks)..

Hey, edetroit, turns out you were right! The orphaned imaginesim TJSJ jetways were from AES. I had to turn imaginesims' TJSJ off in AES BEFORE deleting it from FS2004's scenery library. Leaving the scenery active in AES kept the AES jetways active. That was the good news. There's a bit of bad news (more mysterious than bad though) to go with the good. When exiting FS2004 with the LatinVFR TJSJ scenery loaded causes one of those error messages saying the software you were using , in this case FS2004, "encountered an unexpected problem and had to close, etc. etc." No be deal really as it comes after FS2004 is already in the process of shutting down anyway. Not sure what is causing it unless its because I still Imaginesim's TJSJ scenery on my hard drive. It's deleted from fS2004's scenery library though so this issue is a bit of a puzzle...

I don't think the installer allows you to change the destination folder (but it might be worth a try anywayz). Without knowing the names of the jetway bgls it'll be hard to track them down.

I don't think so. They are static jetways and they were part of the WA3 TJSJ terminal building before I got AES. Regardless, how do I remove them?

The WA3 airports ARE by Imaginesim. They include Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinati, Nassau, and San Juan all bundled together in World Airports 3...They are installed in a Just Flight folder, not a Imaginesim folder.

I recently purchased LatinVFR's TJSJ scenery (forgetting that TJSJ is included in the World Airport 3 airport scenery I already had installed in FS2004). When I loaded it I could see some disconnected jetways that didn't seem to belong. I contacted LatinVFR thinking this was a case of sloppy programming on LatinVFR's part. It wasn't. Turns out the disconnected jetways belong to World Airport 3's TJSJ scenery. I tried deactiviting WA3's TJSJ which made all the WA3 TJSJ scenery disappear EXCEPT the jetways! I tried simply deleting the TJSJ scenery from the scenery library. Didn't work. Deleting the TJSJ folder from the FS2004/Just Flight/WA3 folder didn't work either. Finally I tried uninstalling WA3 entirely (the WA3 uninstaller doesn't give you the chance to install or uninstall specific airports, it an all or nothing thing). But STILL the WA3 TJSJ jetways are showing up in the LatinVFR TJSJ scenery! How the heck to I get get rid of these WA3 TJSJ jetways!? As much as I loved WA3's TJSJ scenery, LatinVFR's is better and these orphaned WA3 TJSJ jetways have got to go!!!

To Ronzie: Yes, I know their site is still up. That doesn't necessarily mean they are still in business though...According to their website my order has been "completed"! Chris, sorry to hear that he has been dealing with some personal issues. I can apprciate that. I've been dealing with a personal issue of my own (my wife's health) otherwise I would have posted my queston a lot sooner... Actually, PC Aviators has always been my favorite FS vendor. I've probably purchased more stuff from them than from all others combined. They have been very helpful to me in the past as well. The speed of the delivery of orders from PC Aviator can't be beat unless you download it (I prefer having the DVD in my possession). I'm glad to hear that PC Aviator hasn't gone out of business. I would have been very upset if they had (almost like losing a personal friend)! Well, hopefully, I'll get a reply to my second msg this week....

Has PC Avaitor gone belly up? Been trying to contact PC Avaitor about an order I placed Aug 30th (and have yet to receive) but they haven't responded to a message I posted on their website a week ago. i've tried calling yesterday but have up after being left on hold for over a half hour. When I called today the automated system didn't even pick up the phone. BTW, how do I keep the menu from collasping right after the AVSIM website pops up? I also don't seem to be able to do a topic search anymore...I know I haven't been on the website much (other than to do whats new searches on the library) lately. Apparently I've missed something (or didn't get the memo)....

Reverting to the 3/.4.22 driver did indeed correct the problem, Tom. But only in FS2002 and 2004. Still have to run FS98 either with hardware acceleration turned off in 640x480x8 low res full screen mode or windowed mode for 800x600x16 high res mode with the H.A. on...at least it runs now though. It didn't under Windows 7... Another problem with FS2002 is that some of the skyscrapers in the Chicago skyline have black bands on them that move as one's prespective moves. This may be a pre-existing condition with FS2002 though. I just never noticed it before (though you'd think I would have if this were the case)...The only reason I keep FS2002 around really is to fly Dreamfleet's 737-400 (my all time favorite FS aircraft addon). I'm too lazy to mess with the FS2004 merge! Anyway, I can live with the black bands issue if need be...

Ok, that sounds likely. I hadn't considered that the driver might be the cause of the problem. My current (for the moment) driver is 335.28. Just downloaded the 314.22 driver from the nVidia website. If it does indeed correct the problem (or even if it doesn't) I'll post the news here...Thanks, Tom! Scott Miller

Tom or Jeff: Please move this topic to the monitor, graphics card forum. Should have posted there in the first place! Thanks....

As some of you may recall I had problems I getting FS2004 to run on the 64 bit Windows 7 system I "upgraded" to last fall (including but not limited to having a previously selected menu option appear when going to select another or switching exterior/enterior views). Recently I discovered that there are motherboards still available (Z77 boards) that support Windows XP so I got one (MSI Z77A-G43 Gaming) and an Intel i3-3240 3.4 ghz cpu to go with it. Yeah, I know Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP April 8th (I couldn't care less, aside from one single time, I never needed support from Microsoft anyway but I digress...) I've encountered a strange problem with Flight Simulator (FS98, FS2002 and FS2004. Haven't reinstalled FSX yet). With S98 I have to turn off hardware acceleration if I want to run it in full screen mode otherwise the exterior view goes nuts on me. I have to check the Transform and Lightening box on the Display/Hardware screen or I get the same thing with the exterior views (what is "Transform and Lightening). This problem doesn't arise in FS2004 whether the T & L box is checked or not. Another problem (this is where the "strange" aspect comes in) I've encountered in both FS2002 and FS2004 is that a half dozen aircraft have exterior parts showing up either much brighter than the rest of the plane's exterior. For example, the pilot's door on the default Cessna 172SP and Cessna 182S is brigther than the rest of the plane (on the pilot's side). Oj PMDG's B1900C/D its the cargo door. On the PMDG 737s with stairs in FS2004 its the small door that covers the ladder opening. The worst example is a freeware DH6 short nose where the engine access door, the pilot's door, the passenger door, the luggage/cargo door AND the rudder exhibit the same brightening (or alternatively, these are the a/c's correct appearance with the rest of the pilot's side of the plane being too dard. 3 or 4 other planes also exhibit this problem in degrees greater than the Cessnas but less than the DH6 short nose/sea otter/Vistaliner. The question is what is causing this problem and what is the best way to fix it. I'm pretty sure, too, that this problem existed with my Windows 7 system. I'm convinced that the problem is related to the graphics card I had on the Windows 7 system and am using in the "new" XP system (a EVGA GTX 650 w/1mb ram). Is there a way to eliminate the problem while continuing to use this graphics card or do I need to replace it (and, if so, with what)? Incidentally, none of my non-FS games are exhibiting this problem in any way. BTW, for those who might be interested, the frame rate was only slightly affected by "downgrading" back to a Windows XP system (from the mid-80s to the mid-60s, still a VAST improvement over the single digit frame rate I was getting on my old single core cpu XP system.. As always, any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreicated!
