Thanks Bert. Looks like I'll be going back to FS9 more often than I had hoped. :(

Having bought the DreamFleet A36, Archer III & Baron 58 for FS9 (COF) I am wondering if it possible to somehow use these in FSX Gold Edition? I see the word "porting" used in other questions about using FS9 planes in FSX but don't have a clue what this involves. Any suggestions would be a big help to a FSX noobee. Thanks.

Has anyone had any experience with this FREE utility Super ATC? If so, would they like to express their pos & cons?Am currently running MSFX Gold Edition under XP Pro if that matters any.Thanks for anything you might pass on.

Walouigi -- Does your FSM work OK using the patch to keep from having to change the computer date? Trying to find some other users other than myself to make sure the steps I posted are correct -- they worked for me but as you can see, not so for Mick.

Mike -- you were right -- startfsm.zip messes with the computer date. Fsmgr.zip is the way to go. Thanks for the tip.Mick -- Something must have gone wrong during your installation.Here are the steps I had to use to get the prog to work OK.1. Completely remove any files to do with FSM, including RanaInside folder in C:/Program Files.2. Do a registry clean. I use Registry First Aid Platinum.3. Download fsm285.zip and install the prog.4. Set the computer clock back to 2004.5. Run FSM to see if it works. This will also get it into the registry.6. Close FSM and reset clock back to normal.7. Download Fsmgr.zip, extract and make sure to move FSGR.DLL and FSMGR.exe into the C:/Program Files/RanaInside folder.8. Go to RanaInside folder and create a shortcut for the FSMGR.exe file. This is the shortcut to use to start the FSM prog.FSM works OK for me now. Good luck!!

Thanks Mike. Found startfsm.zip over at FlightSim.com that does the job OK.

Can you tell me where I can get the patch for FlightSim Manager 2.8.5?

Chuck: Have the same defrag freezing problem since going from GE to GE Pro. Doesn't matter what defrag prog I use, same thing. My favorite defrag prog is DiskTrix Ultimate Defrag. If I exclude certain folders to do with GE Pro,then the defrag works but I still end up with a lot of "red" on the disk map. Uninstalled GE Pro and can then do a full defrag with no problems.The support people at DiskTrix say it is a conflict with GE Pro???Hope someone can come up with a "fix"Simming since FS3.

Have just gone through the whole mess of deleting FS9.cfg, no luck, reinstalling FS9 and update, no luck and finally a hard disk format to start all over again. Am presently at raw FS9 and gradually adding one item at a time. Amazing how smooth FS9 can really be without all the addons. I used to have FS9 at over 27gigs with every addon that came out crammed in there. Am now down to 12+ gigs.Have found many addons with dlls that cause problems and ctdts.Lucky I am retired and have lots of time to do this, 'cause it is very time consuming but the only way I found to get FS9 back to being enjoyable.Have been flight simming since FS3 on a Tandy 1000 so have seen a whole bunch of problems so far but none as frustrating as what FS9 can bring!!

Hello fellow FS9 flightsimmers:Have installed UTUSA & UTCANADA/ALASKA along with Holgers' latest gorge update. Also have all of FSGenisis installed (Galaxy Member).My problem is I am missing the Columbia River water & roads etc. from W119* 59.40' to W120* 55.09'. Dry river bed with buildings etc.Have all scenery layered as per Holgers' instructions and do see all of his great work as heading West past W120*.Is this just a fault in FS9 or something else?Any help would be much appreciated.(Simming since FS3 on a Tandy 1000)

Has anyone used this prog with any good results? I am still waiting for the registration code so can't make much use of it so far.Only $7.99 USD but hope I didn't get ripped off.:-mad

Have downloaded & installed Mooney by Tomislav Stimac. Nice to have the ADF & other goodies, however, there is no mini-panel on cycle through views with the W key. Have contacted Tomislav and he is sorry for the omission."HiI'm sorry for non complete version. It is my fault. Ididnt took time to check it all. If there will be somenew version, i will include the second (minimal) paneltoo. There will be no updates to this one, as avsimstuff don't like updates too much. Well, me neither,as they create a lot of mess and confusion (speciallyto new users - beginners).There might be some new panel, with some new texture,and i'll make sure, this mistake doesnt happen again.Regards from Croatia (Europe)Tomislav--- edwin brown wrote:> Goodmorning Tomislav: Have downloaded your> Mooney_Bravo.ADF and am very pleased to finally have> the ADF and other goodies.

Maybe I'm in the wrong forum for this but any direction would be helpful.

Thanks Holger & others. I have bc2003.zip installed in FS2002 but was afraid to try it in COF. Have had some bad experiences in this regard. Will bcmeshp1.zip work with FSGenisis 76.4 terrain that I purchased and installed? There is so much stuff available now that it gets a bit confusing as to what to use and what not to use.

Just found flatten files by Curt Jardey that fixed the river problems but the roads and bridges are still all screwed up.Thanks Curt.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong here? There is a large water fall at the end of the runway and the roads/bridges are in a weird shape. Have FSGenisis 76.4 terrain installed. Have tried removing FSG but no difference. Have no other addon installed that I know of that could cause this.I am a new forum user and tried to attach a jpeg to show my problem but am notified that the jpeg is too big.
