Thank you Wingz, indeed I omitted to mention which scenery I was using. I did experience crashes in the HK area too, but managed to sort the problem by digging out some duplicated afcads near the new ZGGG. Now I guess I have no other choice than trashing the whole package if I want to use the new Pudong, but again, I will miss Beijing which wasn't bad at all, and it really annoys me. More simply I might try to email the author , if I get e response I will eventually keep you guys posted.

Here's my question a again. I had installed some years ago a global china scenery package , available here in the library, which contained many Chinese airports, and amongst them, Pudong. Has any of you had that freeware scenery installed and if positive, did you manage to remove ONLY Pudong. I ask since the scenery folder and files makes it impossible to identify the ZSPD files, or shall I uninstall the whole package just to install the imagine sim scenery ? Of course I could uninstall the package and simply install the new scenery, but I'd like to avoid trashing all the many small Chinese airports and also Beijing ZBAA which are part of that global Chinese scenery.

On to buying this . Has anyone had installed the ' all china ' (which contained Pudong beside many smaller fields ) and if so, how does the imagine sim scenery behave with that ' all china ' global scenery? I ask because I looked into what the china folder contains, and it will be difficult if impossible to remove only Pudong.

Welcome back Thomas! I would just add this: make sure not to miss the latest breathtaking scenery that was released lately, the rebooted Dubai from Flytampa. It must be the most astounding scenery released to date (beside KaiTak) And... You will be delighted to know that Sydney from FT Is on its way. Plus, Martin who developed Dubai rebooted had been silent for a while so who knows what other masterpiece he has in the oven for us... Something that wasn't mentioned yet are the latest fsgenesis 19m meshes, also breathtaking.

One has to edit every one and single AI model with an HEX editor and remove some lines. Look for a thread about it in which '3green' user helped us a lot. It had been proven to have no unwanted effect on the models and nearly all AI models are covered. Here the thread in question: http://forum.avsim.net/index.php?/topic/265681-Landing-lights...and-fog

AS Schipol for instance, had been a disaster when it was released... Fixed after quite a bit of time. I must stand corrected for my previous post about Roma though, the AS rendition is not a revamp of the old iFSD stuff, my guess was made only from looking the screenies, I haven't bought it.

Weird... That looks like the good old iFSD freeware scenery, slightly rewamped, they just added some details . Not worth it. they pretend the FSX version is on its way, they're just gonna port some old stuff to FSX, good result garanteed.

Panning VC can be achieved by simply enabling it inside the fs9.cfg. Not an option from the custom option menu though. Cant remember right now which entry it is, but I will post it here if anyone asks.

Nico, I am not quite sure what you call 'chase 'view. In FS9, you get the chase view by pressing key 'S' twice. If you press 'S' once you get the virtual cockpit view, twice the chase view, and three times the so called 'tower view' . You can revert back to the previous view each time by pressing shift S. In case you're looking the free camera view in FS9, there's none, you must add payware modules like DBC Walk and follow or Active Camera.

I agree totally, FT Kai Tak must be the most awesome piece of scenery I ever enjoyed. Un doubtely their masterpiece. Flying Hong kong at night, is nothing but breathtaking : you can almost feel the humid heat of that city, bancs of haze here and there and spectacular lighting... A piece of jewel indeed...

FSDT KLAX is undoubtely very nice. The problem that were reported related to performance wont be solved, and is due to the fact that the scenerey has no LOD built in. That might affect you when you're approaching the scenery with a heavy complex aircraft (such as PMDGs heavies). The other problem is that some part of the scenry are blurried, due to the fact that the texture were initially desgined on FSX's 4096*4096 textures, not supported by fs9. So the fs9 version has sized down 1024*1024 textures; which cause some area of the scenery blurred (mainly cargo areas, and that might be fixed one day FSDT said).I use a dual core e8500 with a GTX260 and can run the scenery without too much trouble with full traffic and acfts like PMDG 747 and MD11.

Differential brakes using (defaut) F11 and F12 (left and right main gear) and also using differential thrust.

hi Dillon,It's not that developing for fs9 is easier than FSX, it's more that most freeware devs never stepped to FSX, mostly due to its loosy performance.... I think it's not exagerated to say that if PMDG for instance had not stepped to FSX only, FSX would have been the commercial failure as it deserve to be. I too think fs9 still has a long live ahead. :( ...

Damn, such a comment from George undoubtely means somethin' ... Off to EGNX as I type :(

Hi RJ,The Dornier 228 was modelled by Fernando Martinez.
