Hey! Opa,My version is 1.01..... Too bad!But I don't see no option to automatically update? Where should it be? PLease let me know.In the other case, could you tell me where I can find that 1.03 version?GreetzJive1

Hey!I noticed also that soem helicopters with retractable gear, like Agusta A109A, do not land with the gear down in the F1 helitraffic system.... If Flight1 continues perfectioning the sysytem they should as well take care of that!GreetzJive1

Hey!Meanwhile I was playing a bit with both systems, F1-heliTraffic and FS9 Holger Sandmann system....What I ended with as a very nice solution for my own needs is making both types heliports close to eachother. So, for a few of my favorite airports I made an afcad for the Holger type heliports, where in fact I don't really need the helipads, and I also placed a few helipads for use with F1 type helicopters, most of which I put very close to the regular afcad heliports. The result is that I have both my own planned helicopter flights and the random helicopters of the F1 system. Which sometimes gives unexpectedly nice results.But I really hope that Flight1 will come soon to improve their system sa as to also have more information on a series of 'planned' heliflights, possibly being spotted like the other FS9 aircraft....GreetzJive1

Hey!Of course I will learn. Above, I told only what I noticed after a few hours of experimenting. I will learn to make the helicopters fly according to what I want. But, you know? I like to watch planes and even helicopters of the Holger type doing these things that I built myself and I like to watch them from close. So I noticed also that the different views that I have on the regular planes and helicopters in FS9 and other FS-versions, espacially spot view and flyby, in combination with the traffictoolbox.dll of the Traffic SDK ( also, I don't see this F1helitraffic on the map of the traffictoolbox ), and I like also to watch the inside of some of the planes using the F1view.dll module ( not for AI of course ), none of these is available with the present F1 HeliTraffic2009FS9.dll. I hope they will soon bring also these possibilities, for FS9 of course!Or, better would be, that one or another entousiastic aircraft designer/programmer might build an helicopter engine into the FS9 program so that helicopters would fly the way they do in reality.Anyhow, it is fine to learn and see that people are still searching and finding solutions for missing possibilities of FS9, and FS9 still is the best MSFS-program according to my experiences, because it allows much more addons of all kinds than any other of the FS-series.GreetzJive1

Hey!Realism???Meanwhile I have the Flight1 program. But....No realism! There is no sound, I cannot insert flightplans. All happens at random. Above that the program takes all helipads available in FS9 and uses them, even when there is a helicopter from my own flightplans taking off at that moment.There is indeed only one single realism, and that is that all the helicopters that I have in my aircraft list are used by the program, and take off or land almost just like in real life, but apart from that I still prefer the way Holger Sandmann works, because there I can plan flights myself, make parking spots for several helicopters with afcad and use also all my helicopters, however I must modify the .air and .cfg files with Holger's sample files.So, maybe and hopefully Flight1 may have one day the same possibilities in it's program of planning flights with my own helicopters....GreetzJive1

Thank you!I know the overlay system, and I applied same already several times for other airports. But this time I'm really looking for better, ie. keeping all helicopter and liner traffic in one afcad.GreetzJive1

Hey!I have an airport EBLG where in reality is a regular liner runway and a separate helicopter base. I'm still using FS2004 and Afcad2.In the helicopter part of the Afcad that I use for AI flights I have built a separate runway for the helicopters. There is no other possibility than having part of the taxiways of the regular airport available for the helicopters as well, or I should redesign the whole airport.My question comes now: how can I make the helicopters only use the runway for them, and the liners use the regular runway but not the one for the helicopters?I can send the scenery and the afcad for as far as I have them now. But in the situation as I have the helicopters just go to take off to de active runway whichever it is.So I can put the question also in this way: how can I make one runway to be active only for the liners and the other ruway only to be active for the helicopters?Can somebody help me?GreetzJive1

Hey!I've been away some time...My original problem has been solved now! I know how to proceed to avoid the problem I had ( see my little story starting this item about FSNav....Each time, when I want to update my FSNav database I just remove the two files Scenery.000 and Scenery.001 in the FSNavigator folder, and start updating the database. Up to now it worked every time! No more database updating problems!.......This was just for your information.GreetzJive1And plaese note!!!!!! I'm using FSNav 4.7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And I am already at 1105 sceneries with no more hanging problems........

Hey! I have the same problem: sometimes the FSNav databuilder just hangs, and only unchecking that particular scenery makes it working again after restarting it. Sometimes it helps when the sequence has been changed. Eg, when I move that particular scenery a few numbers higher or lower, then it works. I don't know why that is....Anyhow, my main problem is gone now....GreetzJive1

Hey!I think I've been a bit too quicky...After seeing that Opa's database was almost double as big as mine, I decided to reinstall the FSNav program...You know what? It works fine!I don't really know what happened on the moment of the crash of FSNav, it certainly must have been one of those crazy things that make computers so ununderstandable... haha!What made me thinking that the program would have been at the limit of its possibilities, was the fact of those 10Mb and of those 999 sceneries. These figures made me thinking in a wrong way...Sorry for the troubles caused!GreetzJive1

Hey!What happened was the following...I wanted to add a scenery, using FSNav database system, and after I introduced the folder name of the scenery the FSNav program crashed.I closed the program and reopened it. At that moment I saw that the database window of FSNav was empty. Not one single scenery of all the sceneries I did install over a period of time via this system was still visible in the FSNav database window.Strange! So I went to my Explorer and watched the FSNav folder in the Modules folder of FS9, and I saw that the two files scenery.000 and scenery.001 were together exactly 10 Mb as I told already above. Watching the scenery.cfg file of my FS9, I saw that exactly 999 sceneries were in the database of FS9, which was the same as in the database of FSNav.So, at that moment I tried to add the planned scenery, but nothing worked anymore in FSNav. As a result I was not able to add the scenery, which happened to be the 1000th scenery, via FSNav...When I wanted to add that same 1000th scenery to FS9, using the Settings of FS9 itself, there was no problem, I was even able to add more sceneries, over 1000!Nothing seems to be wrong with FS9, on the contrary, it works fine as never before. The only thing is that FSNav does not work at all.GreetzJive1I just see now that your database files together are over 20 Mb, so it must be that something else is causing the crash of my FSNav, and not the fact that those two files together are to great, they are only half the size of your datafiles...So I think I will try a new install of FSNav! I'll let you know what happened....

hey!When I install the 1000th scenery in FS9 itself, everything goes fine, even did I install a 1001th scenery and everything went fine as well.The big disadvantage of FSNav no longer working is, that I am now wiyhout the flight planner of FSNav, which is really a big disadvantage...And... I don't even consider to take away some of the sceneries, even when I don't fly there every week. It took me lots of time and everything works extremely fine, so I don't want to take some away! If need be, I could consider to bring some sceneries in one sigle folder, that is something that I can do, but if then, one day, a better solutiion rises for a certain area, I'm in trouble when I want to modify that folder....I'm already searching for another flight planner, if this one refuses to work.GreetzJive1

Hey!This morning I was installing a new airport in FS9 and I use FSNav to put any scenery into its database which then gives all that information to FS9 scenery.cfg file.This time the program FSNAV ( registered ) crashed!After carefully looking for the origin of that problem I've seen that it was exactly the 1000th scenery that I was installing, and that the database of FSNav, which is stored in two files, Scenery.000 and Scenery.001 was exactly, added together, was exactly 10Mb ( the first one being 4.748kB and the latter one being 5.252kB ).I wonder...Am I at the end of the possibilities of the program FSNav? Or what could else be the reason why that program with these figures refuses working?Is there anybody who can tell me what could have happened, and moreover, what I can do now? Stop using FSNav? Or is there a trick somewhere so that I can continue using that, apart from this incident, excellent program?Please help me?GreetzJive1

Thank You all for this excellent information!GreetzJive1

Hey!I've installed a scenery of Ljublijana which I downloaded from Flightsim.com. ( scenery name is LJLJ2007.zip )Inside that zip, there is another zip containing 3 jetway sceneries ( jetwaybn - jetwaygy - jetwaywh ) each of them containing 1 bgl and a few texture files.I've never played with jetways in airports.Who can explain me what I must do and how these things work, because there is almost no explanation inside, so I don't know how te install nor to use...GreetzJive1

Hey!Since Avsim library is no longer available, I'm desperately in search for two sceneries for my FS9...- Tripoli HLLT capital of Libya- Minsk 1 UMMM a town in Belarus ( there is also Minsk 2 in same place UMMS, which I'm not looking for )Is there anybody who can show me weher to find that sceneries?GreetzJive1

Hey!On Flightsim.com I found a good scnery of Toronto named 'cyyz07v1.zip'...Try that one?GreetzJive1

Hey!Sorry, I cannot give any advise for a Torinto scenery.....However, I was looking myself some time already for a scenery of Tripoli the capital of Libya. Does anybody know where to find a good scenery of Khadafi's main airport?GreetzJive1

Hey!Thank you, guys!I'm somewhat disappointed, but it's good to be sure now that I will better wait...GreetzJive1

Hey!I'm presently running Win XP Pro on my PC with a AOpen AX4SPE Max II motherboard with Intel P4 at 3200MHz, and with 2GB SDRAM DDR and a video system NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS with 256MB memory AGP bus, and I have plenty of space for my FS9 addons....However, I frequently meet with those "stutters", ie. even with acceptably high frame rate ( 20 and more ) my system stops for fractions of seconds all the time with intervals of seconds, even sometimes 10 or more seconds intervals, and this is very disturbing...I can't afford now to buy every now and then a new machine, so I wanted to install Win Vista which would allow me to install as well DirectX 10...However, a friend of mine, who is somewhat specialised in pc and things, disadvised me to grade up to Vista, because my system is not strong enough for that, he said me....So now I'm confused....Should I listen to him, or shall I nevertheless install Vistat and DirectX 10, which I really hope that this combination will give me better results than XP with DX 9 .....Can you advise me please?....GreetzJive1

Hey!It is the one from Aerosoft....I know that AI can't operate only on flat runways, but I want myself try to operate on the airport, so I need a good afcad as well, inclusive a hard surface to land on...GreetzJive1

Hey!I have got the scenery of Lukla VNLK in Nepal.Now, there seems not to be a good Afcad-file for that scenery....Is there anybody who can help me to find a working AF2-file for same, or even hints on how to make myself a good working AFE-file with the program Afcad2?GreetzJive1

Hey! ubersu,I think you were right!A checkdisk was one of the items I did not try yet, so right after reading your message, I started a checkdisk....What do you think?... Yes! Right!For a while, I thought it was not the good solution, because the first restart of FS9 after the checkdisk, I had a ntdll-error again, but I guess that must have been due to the "first" start after the checkdisk, and the fact that fs9.exe had to refind out how te start in a newly organised disk. But after that first time, I restarted another 5 or 6 times and no more ntdll-errors, even not when I entered the area of EBOS where the error used to occur every time again and again before.So thank you very much for having remind me that a checkdisk has to be done from time to time, before getting errors like it was the case with me.Thank also for the other advises I got here, I tried really each of the things you told me, except... the diskcheck, I did not before.I hope that ntdll-error is over now!GreetzJive1

Hey!Since over 4 years I use Win XP Pro for my FS2004, which I try to keep clean with all means, and I never had the problem that I have now since a couple of months.When I am flying, sometimes the FS crashes and always there is the same message, that something is wrong with the ntdll.dll, and I have to restart. However, sometimes I even cannot restart anymore. Tired and unhappy, I suit then..When I start my PC the next day, it sometimes works for half a day with no problem, and then suddenly there is the same error again....I am suspecting the temperature of my system ( processor or so... ) but, when I read on the internet fora, both flightsims and non flilghtsims, I see that this same error occurs on the whole world with various systemes and applications since Win98, over win 2000 and NT, and also with WinXP Pro and Home, mostl of the times with Internet explorer, but also with Flight simulator FS9 and/or FSX.I'm almost so far that I want to give up flying, it just is no longer funny anymore.I really tried all the things that other people advised me on the net and to colleagues of mine with the same problem. Is anybody there who can give me better advise? I'm desperate now!GreetzJive1

Hey! Lee,Thank you!But, where should I type that LOCKED=1 ?Should I make e nrw section in the FS9.CFG file like [LOCK] Locked=1Or should I just type it on the first line of the FS9.CFGor should I type it elsewhere?GreetzJive1
