Both Hayward and Reno are within Oakland Center airspace. Depending on the altitude you are flying at, you could stay with OAK ARTCC (on various frequencies, as you cross center sector boundaries) or talk with one of the approach controls you mentioned. Here's a map of ARTCC's airspace boundaries.http://en.wikipedia....ile:Tfrmap.jpegAnd another - with RW radio frequencies...... most probably more then FS has for ZOA.http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=2236CheersGene

With that explanation I'm sure you'll be getting that job offer from MS - they may even hire you directly into management..... :( I guess that if one isn't using one of the Acceleration 'features' in Win7-64, they would need to run the sim in 'compatability' mode - or maybe temporarily revert back to Win7-32. :( Gene

What's funny is that - as you stated - they say it's not compatible with Win7 64 bit...... but that the Acceleration Pack IS compatible.http://www.microsoft...iving&os=64-bitHow did they get Acceleration to install in Win7 64 bit if it requires FSX to be installed first? Oh, and they also state that FS9 IS compatible with Win7 64 bit.http://www.microsoft...iving&os=64-bitProbably just another case of one hand not knowing what the other hand is doing..... LOLGene

Thanks AlI think you meant ICAO instead of FAA. I'm using the FAA version and would like it to stay that way. However, you're reply got me thinking (I know... dangerous!). I opened EditVoicepack and found the phrase "Line Up and Wait" under 'Community Modifications', 'Phraseology', 'ICAO'. There are two different ones, listed as AC_TWR_POSITION_AND_HOLD and TWR_AC_POSITION_AND_HOLD - I export both to my Desktop. Then, I imported both to 'My Modifications', 'Phraseology'. I updated the Voicepack (careful to choose 'Change Settings', the speed option I wanted, 'Use FAA Phraseology') and Saved it. Opened FSX and it now says "Line Up and Wait' instead of "Taxi Into Position and Hold".Also did the same to FS9 using EVP 3.1I'm a happy camper!!! Thanks for your response! :( :( :( BTW - for those interested in why I wanted to do this.... the FAA changed from 'Taxi into Position and Hold' to 'Line Up and Wait' in September of 2010. For me, this make the sim a little closer to - 'as real as it gets'.CheersGene

Has anyone one done an Edit Voice Pack mod to change "taxi into position and hold" to the new "line up and wait"? If so, is it available on the site and what is the file name?Are there any other phraseology mods available here?Thanks in advanceGene

Thanks Joe!!! At least I can add the traffic files through the Scenery Library, instead of putting them in '...\scenery\world\scenery' with the default traffic file.Gene

In an effort to keep my new install of FS9 organized, I would like to locate all of my AI aircraft folders outside of the default 'Aircraft' folder.I know I can do this in FSX - but is it possible in FS9? And, if so, how?Thanks in advance for any assistance!CheersGene

Hi DaveI think I found what you may be looking for.....Click the down arrow just to the right of your username in the upper right corner of the screen Select 'My Settings' from the drop down menu Click on the 'Forums' menu item Look for the 'Topic Display Mode' item Appears that most (if not all) user account options are available via the down arrow next to your username.CheersGene :(

I was fortunate enough to go on Friday and Saturday.My friend runs the transient ramp (where all the static aircraft were parked). On Friday, I got to ride around with him and watch his crew park many of the aircraft. And, got to talk with the crew of the Delta B757 - Breast Cancer Awareness aircraft. Best was getting to sit in the cockpit and talk with the flight crew!Saturday was good. Unfortunately, I was the only one under the B52 wing :( . Oh well, there's always the next show in 2 years.Having a sim setup in the hangar would be great. When there's another show at KMTC, I can provide a contact point for anyone willing to set one up.Gene

Hi JimHope to see you there. Maybe some others will be able to come as well.I'm leaving in the early AM for DTW and won't have internet access while on vacation - but I'll be at the airshow on Saturday (with my wife's blessings, even :( ).CheersGene

Attention Detroit Area SimmersThe bi-ennial Selfridge ANGB Airshow is the weekend of August 22 and 23. The headliners this year are the USAF Thunderbirds. More info on the show is available here: https://www.selfridgeairshow.org/If you're interested in meeting fellow simmers during this event, meet up near the starboard wing of the B52 around 1 PM Saturday. That aircraft should be on the static display ramp. If the B52 doesn't show (sometimes they will cancel last minute), meet at the west end of the static display ramp where it connects to the taxiway.I'll be in town on vacation visiting the wife's relatives. And I will be attending Saturday's airshow. Hope to see some of you there.If you are thinking of attending, please respond here.....CheersGene

I'm just guessing here, but I don't think you get ANY special privileges at Avsim for donating to the cause. Well, maybe a hardy "Thanks!" :( Of course, you could always edit the image to reduce the size to be within the guidelines (rules). If you don't have a graphics editor, may I suggest you Google - irfanview - (it's freeware and quite versatile) and edit your VA's image. If my math is correct, that would leave you with an image 68 pixels in height (max height) and approximately 252 pixels wide...... still quite viewable and also within Avsim's rules. Cheers Gene

Try pulling the Condition Levers (the ones on the right side of the throttle quadrant) back to somewhere between 'Low Idle' and 'Cut-off'. The closer to cut-off (without having the engines quit) the better. This will lower the engine RPM and aid in controlling the taxi speed.Don't forget to place the Condition Levers at 'High Idle' just prior to takeoff. And then, pull them back again just after exiting the runway (after landing). :( Gene

Hi TomThanks for the information! I really appreciate you going the extra mile and posting the code and a link.Gene
