You don't have ezdok camera do you ? When that is in edititing mode it makes a repeated chiming noise... -hth

Glad you got it sorted. Have a good one...

Dont click through the window but click in the open space between the window and the plane.

There is a nice thread going over at Sim-outhouse.http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=43734-hth

o.k. - just tried it and you have to open the window, click on the ladder, and it will go away...-hth

I think you have to close the window and the ladder, etc. will go away...

I have the same problem. I believe it is a windows security feature. I just copy the config to my desktop, make the changes, and then copy it back in, overwriting the original.-hth

I only noticed them after installing GEX 1.9 for the US and Canada. However others have reported them in other parts of the northern US even with the default textures. From what I have heard it is an error in FSX even with correct regional files. I think I will take your advice and just do simple exclusion files or use ez-landclass to change that area. I figured it would not be as simple as changing names in the bgl files. Thanks!Cheers-Blake

Hi Luis -I am getting palm trees in North Dakota and Minnesota (USA). I was thinking by renaming a conifer tree model to have the name of the palm tree model then the palm trees would be replaced with conifers. I have decompiled a few of the FSX scenery bgls but am not able to find which models are used for the palm trees so I can rename them. Then I thought a person could just swap bgl files back when you wanted palm trees. Maybe it is not that simple though.....

Is it possible to replace the model used for the palm trees with another model ? I know there is an error in the way FSX displays some scenery tiles which results in there being palm trees in areas where they should not be. Is it possible to use an existing tree model and rename it as same as the one used as the palm tree ? Just wondering...Thanks

Thank you for the information Luis. This gives me a starting point to look at. If I need more information I will contact you.

I would like to modify the swamp/marsh textures to make them look more snow covered for winter flying in the northern USA. I have tried modifiying the textures with those names but this made no difference as they still looked as though they had open water (green/blue color) in those areas. Am I modifying the wrong textures ? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

I went with TrafficX from Justflight. I had UT2 but ended up returning it. I did not like how UT2 paused the sim every time it needed to inject traffic. If I was watching AI or doing circuts around an airport the sim would pause for several seconds and then there would be a change in the traffic. I have also heard that when approaching a busy airport the pauses can get pretty bad. This is due to the fact that UT2 does not use the old .bgl style flight plans where traffic is loaded from one file. Instead they put traffic into the sim as it is running. There is supposed to be an update coming but the developer has not been responding in the forums. UT2 did give me more comercial traffic and more GA than TrafficX did - I suplimented my GA traffic with a neat freeware program called FSX GA traffic by Markus Brunner (available at Avsim). TrafficX also has military traffic and I thought those models looked better then the military models in Mytraffic. If the pauses don't bother you and you don't need militatry traffic, then UT2 may be the way to go. Flight1 has an awesome return policy so you can try it if you want. -hth

Looks great. I have one question - does this allow for hurricane depiction in FS9 ?

Check p. 36 in the manual. I followed that procedure and it worked well for all my project ai traffic.-hth

Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work. It looks and performs great!!! I try and add some ai traffic this weekend.Cheers

Have you tried deleting your config file and restarting FS9? FS9 will make a new config file automatically. The only bad part is that it resorts back to default settings when doing so. If you try this make a back up copy of your original config in case you want to restore it.hth

That worked perfectly! I was just using ExBuilder earlier in the day and it did not even cross my mind to use it for this.Thanks Bjorn!!!!

I am having trouble redesigning a stock airport file.When taking off from KDYT, a float plane airport in Duluth, MN, there are taxi/runway markers in the water (I am using Ultimate Terrain and FS Genesis mesh which may be the cause). I have tried removing these runways, moving them, changing their elevation, deleting the nodes, and deleting the taxi lines using AFCAD2 and I cannot get the markers to disappear.I am restarting FS9 eachtime I save my modified AFCAD file and they are still there. Are there any suggestions on how to deal with this ? I don't understand why the signs would still be there when I have deleted both runways.Any help is appreciated.Thanks -Blake

You may want to look at Weather Maker Pro. It is only $8.99 (previously $24.99) and does a much better job with real time weather then the default. You also get several different radar fuctions and use of FSUIPC features that you would not normally have access to without a registered version of that program. I found it to be a great deal for the price.It makes a great combo with Flight Environment textures. This combination gives you lots of the features of Active Sky but it is not nearly as complicated.Check @ www.weather-maker.com or right here at the AVSIM Weathermaker forum.Hope this helps- Blake

>I've been curious about this product:>(http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/bk.htm) for>some time now, and I was wondering if anyone has any opinions>about it? Thanks!>>PaulI got it a couple of months ago from Amazon for $50 (with a $50 rebate). Got the rebate check from buttkicker with no problem. The device works well and does what it says it will do. You can really feel things like rpm, landing gear, flaps deploying, etc. I use it for FS9 and CFS3. Don't pay full price though as lots of sites have it with rebates. It does add alot to the imersion faction. I did end up getting a new chair to make it fit, but we needed one anyways as we were using a one from our kitchen table. Although you can't hear the noise you can hear the vibration in other parts of the house. One of the first times I used it my daughter thought there was a car with its subwoofer really loud on outside. LOLHope this helps- Blake

Thanks for the information boshar! I tried doing that last night but when the error came up I cancelled the install. That must cause it to delete the scenery from the dummy fsx file I made. I will try it again when I get home tonight.Cheers -
