>This file in the library might do the trick just fine.>wingviews_lds767.zipHey Reed203, that's an incredible machine you have, my Dell XPS 410 is not nearly close but it runs FS9 very well and at high FPS, and I get to fly my favorite planes: LDS767, F1 ATR 72-500, F1 Cessna 421C Golder Eagle, etc. I have FSX installed on the same machine but I find myself using FS9 99% of the time due to the high FPS performance. BTW, my machine OS is Vista Ultimate, I like it a lot but I think XP Pro is better for current generation games.I'm going to give wingviews_lds767.zip a try, and thank you.Happy 2008Kerke

Is there an any easy way to implement wing views on my FS2004 Level-D 767?Thank you in advance,Kerke

What's interesting is that (with SP2) I can turn ON and OFF all AI Airbus A321 tail and cabin lights with my A321 overhead panel light switch.

>No bug since I don't see the problem here. Are you running>an nVidia card?Yes, nVidia GeForce 7900 GS.

SP2 BUG? After installing SP2, my default A321 panel light switch controls all AI A321 aircraft's tail lights (at night of course). The night tail light is also too bright, unrealistically bright.I also experienced blurry unreadable menu texts with SP2 after 1 hour or so into my flights.I uninstalled SP2 and now all is good again. Sometimes, less is more.Kerke

>Just install FS9 outside the program files directory and you>will be fine without any conflicts...A couple of questions for the FSim experts:[1] What happens if I install FS9 under "C:Program Files..."? I am running Windows Vista Ultimate (as Administrator) and my current FSX is installed on "C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator X...". I'm just curious and trying to understand why should I installed FS9 anywhere other than under the installer default location.[2] Is there a fail-safe instructions manual anywhere for installing and running both FSX and FS9 on the same Vista machine?[3] Are there different versions of FS2004 the same way there are of FSX? The stores I've gone to only carry only one version of FS2004 and they all sell it for around $20. Should I get that or should I look for a Professional version of FS2004? I had FS2004 years ago but I lost my computer and software and now I don't remember how FS9 was shipped. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and have a happy holiday,Kerke

A question related to FS9 and FSX: I have a decent (just decent) Dell machine with Vista Ultimate and FSX. FSX performance is not that good on my machine. QUESTION: Is it possible to install FS9 on (1) Vista Ultimate and (2) will FS9 replace or have any conflict with my FSX? Do I need to uninstall FSX before installing FS9?There are a few FS9 aircraft with no FSX counterparts (the 421C Golden Eagle comes to mind) that I'd like to fly. Besides, my machine specs should be quite good for FS9 performance.Thank youKerke

Is there any good [free] traffic software for FSX?Thank you in advance,Kerke

Do they work out-of-the-box on FSX and Vista?

I've also noticed that the red, green and white lights on the wings are huge. they look like huge baloons and they are not in the proper place. The same lights on the default A321 are much better.

Danon, after 15 years of using FSim, I've been considering getting a joystick for my FSX but I use Vista and I have not yet found a joystick that is certified for both Vista and FSX...I'm not much of a tweaker, I prefer things that run (well) out of the box.Also, I don't want to spend more than $90 on a joystick, are there any good sticks for FSX and Vista for under $90?Best regardsKerke

How much fuel do you have on your 747?I find the A321 accelerates way too fast on takeoff.

I read the entire thread but I am not still sure whether the Aeroworx King Air installs and runs out of the box on FSX/Vista.

I know the idea sounds crazy but I'm going to ask anyway -- My favorite FSX default aircraft is the A321, but I like how the default FSX B738 flies much better than the A321. Now the crazy question: is it possible to use the FSX B738 flight dynamics or air file to make the A321 fly like the B738 and still use the A321 panel?I am not a FSim purist, so I would not be disturbed at all by the unrighteous act of creating a sinfull merge like this, as long as I get my A321 to fly like the B738 ;-)Thank you in advance.Kerke

Were these aircraft FSX aircraft of FS9?

The new TweakFS TweakAircraft for FSX demo is just a 30-day demo, or does it actually allow you to tweak your aircraf.cfg files?Kerke

Could it also be a problem with the Justflight aircraft?

Geofa, I'm not a [real-life] pilot but I've been lucky enough to have a friend who owns a nice Beech Bonanza. He won't let me drive it during takeoff or landings. The real aircraft controls feel harder than what I expected and it seems easier to fly than the flight simulator ;-)Now my question: I've used the flight simulator ever since the Commodor64 days, but I have NEVER used a joystick, I am a keyboard pilot. As a real pilot, do you believe that a joystick increases the FSim experience and brings it closer to the real thing?If the answer is yes, what joystick do you recommend? I currently use FSX with Windows Vista Ultimate.*** This photos were taken before our flight at Miami's "Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport" KTMB ***http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/168695.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/168696.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/168697.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/168699.jpgThank you in advance,Kerke

Hey Lucky, that's pretty normal and by design. When you launch FSX, Vista switches the OS display experience from "Aereo" to "Vista Basic"to optimize the simulor performance. Once you close FSX, Vista switches your display back to Aereo.Vista and FSX, it's a good thing!Kerke

Not to both (nose down attitude and rocket acceleration on runway) according to my United A320 driver friend.Also, according to my pilot friend, switching A/P altidude to descend, say from leveled 8000 to 4000, the real A320 does to dive to a 1800 descend like the FSX A321, it smootly goes from leveled flight to about 1500 descend, but it does it very gracefully.

The 2 things I've noticed about the FSX A321 fligth model are:[1] Nose down attitude at cruise level flight.[2] It accelerates and gains speed way too fast on takeoff.

Me too, with unlimited FPS I was getting higher FPS but with hesitations, I locked my FPS at 20 and my FSX is fluid, no hesitations.

I wish!!! That was my favorite FS9 plane, followed by the PIC767 and the Cessna 421C Golden Eagle. If only I had these 3 planes on FSX, I'd be happy!Kerke
