  1. Its the TFS 777-200RR AAL American nc paint! Here is another repaint: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=american+tfs&FileName=&Author=&CatID=fs2004aia
  2. Also if you have the program DXTbmp, you can try to open the texture files of the suspected aircraft, and if the program says that this is not a regular image, then you have the problem. You can open it up and re-save it in the proper format... I had to do that with a rogue Transavia 73G not too long ago. I also had the texture disappearing act happen to me because of the latest WofAi American Airlines traffic file.. Apparently, one of those AA birds has issues..
  3. I've found the culprit! It was missing texture files for the 3rd runway addon. Those bmp's were in the scenery/namw/scenery folder, and I never copied them over to the new computer. I brought them over and all is well now.
  4. Recently I had noticed that when I flew into LAX or ORD, I would suddenly lose textures on ai aircraft and then buildings. If I started the sim at these airports, I would get the same problem, and then FS would hang. After chasing down every possible angle over the course of several days, I have found the problem. Just days before the problem crept up, I had downloaded and installed World of Ai's most recent traffic files for American Airlines. I went into the traffic folder (scenery/world/scenery) and removed the bgl file, and voila! no more lost textures and no more hanging! It seems that one or more of the aircraft included with that file has texture issues of some sort. I have not chased it down yet, but I am in the process.
  5. I'm just about finished doing the exact same thing. I had about 300 gigs of FS9 on my XP system when I got a new system with W7. I started by doing a fresh install of FS9 on the new system. Next, I networked the two towers and began transferring the addon scenery and aircraft directly. After that I began to reinstall payware aircraft like QualityWings 757 and FSDT sceneries mainly because they don't work unless they are installed with the addon manager that comes with them. I tried out the new FS9 and found a host of issues that mainly related to various fixes and mods that were done over time outside of the addon scenery folder. I had to manually copy folders like scenery/world/scenery (ai traffic files), scenery/world/texture (FlyTampa KSEA 3rd runway addon)[i couldn't get Seattle to load without it.. it took 3 days to chase that one down!!], effects, and gauges. I also had to go through all the controls assignments that I had changed and gotten used to. It has been about 3 weeks since I started the switch, and tonight I just finished my first perfect flight with no issues to fix. Make sure you keep the serial keys to all your payware stuff in a safe place. It is no fun trying to reactivate scenery without it. Im sure I will be chasing down small issues for some time and copying forgotten files from my old system as needed, but I am loving my new system and doubled frame rates...
  6. I'm stumped. I know there are some great minds here that can help me out.. I just transferred FS9 to a new system from XP to Windows 7. Everything else is fine, but for some reason, FlyTampa's Seattle, in the daytime only, crashes FS9 during the "loading scenery" process with an error signature of "stackHash_cbc8", so I know it is not a module error such as a bad texture or afcad. If I de-activate FT KSEA, it loads fine. Also if I load FT KSEA at night, not dawn or dusk, it loads fine. FT KSEA worked flawlessly on my old XP system for 8 years on two XP systems. I have checked for multiple afcads, re-installed FT KSEA from scratch twice, disabled the UAC, and enabled the Seattle aerial photo, but every time I try to go to KSEA, it gets to about 48% loading scenery and then crashes.. I really do not think there is a problem with the download itself, but that is the only variable. I even tried de-activating all other addon scenery, and I still get the crash during loading. any thoughts?
  7. Well I was flying an SGA DC10-30 Biman Bangladesh from Dhaka to Hong Kong. The power failure happened about 1 hour or less after takeoff. I have autosave so I rebooted and resumed flight. Upon approach to Hong Kong, descending thru FL250 or so, I got the BSOD. I reloaded FS, and a minute after that, the BSOD again. (repeated about 5 times). Finally I moved the plane off the course, and moved closer to HKG, and flight resumed without a prob until turning off the runway, BSOD again. I reloaded and taxi'd to the gate with no problem. That was days ago. Yesterday, I loaded a Cargolux 744 (posky) and attempted to fly to ORD. I taxi'd out, took off, and mid climb, around FL 250, BSOD. After I posted about It, I reloaded FS via autosave, and kept getting the BSOD about a minute in every time. I got different error signatures every time. One was atc.dll, then I got, ntdll.dll, then today I tried and got ai-playr.dll. Before the power failure, I had just updated JAL and added a scenery for Dhaka. Two weeks ago I had updated the voicepak with a big update pak which included Biman Bangladesh. I am about to undo all of that and see if anything changes. I dont really think so, because Everything else seems to be working fine. FS even works if I keep the AI unchecked. Also, today, after running a reg cleaner (many errors), I loaded FS in the same place and it ran for several minutes until I opened the ATC window.... BSOD within seconds.... I really think this is AI related..
  8. I have recently found that the black screen does not happen if I uncheck the commercial AI traffic. I remembered that I did just add the GW787 as ai for JAL and ANA, so I took them out of the flight plans, but I still get the black screen with AI enabled. I will continue testing.
  9. A few days ago, I was mid flight, and a breaker popped in my home shutting down my computer. This has happened before without event, but this time, ever since that outage, I keep getting the black screen of death when flying. I can start FS, load a flight, taxi out, takeoff, but while climbing, I get the screen and CTD. Does anyone have any clues?
  10. Thankx for your help, guys! I have been emailed the base model by a forum member overnight.... All is well now. LONG LIVE THE AVSIM FORUM! ---a real lifesaver..
  11. I am unable to locate the Globusworld AI 787. The www.globusworld.net website is down, and UTT still has it under development. If anyone has downloaded a copy of this plane, would you please share it with me? I have the ANA and JAL repaints ready to go but no model. I am highly frustrated trying to search for this file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. You can email me @ [email protected]
  12. That Bing Maps Bird's Eye view is pure GOLD!!!!!!!! That is exactly what I needed! Thankx! If you want to see my progress, check out my facebook page : http://www.facebook.com/FRFstudio
  13. THX! They are good shots.. much appreciated... I'm still searching and coming up with zero... Nothing good on youtube either...
  14. I am working on a new project for KISP, and I am looking for good pics of the terminal. I have the top-down layout, but I cannot see the face of the terminal or how high the roof is or hieght variations. Does anyone have any good pics they can share??
  15. I am proud to announce that version 3 of Delhi VIDP is finished and online at FRFStudio.net. http://www.frfstudio.net/VIDP.html
  16. Hello, CLutch.. I am also an avid user of FDSFX. I couldn't fly without it. My icons and image show perfectly, but every 7th or 8th time I load the window, it crashes FS. Any aircraft, any airport. I load the aircraft, go to an airport, switch to cockpit view, open the FDSFX window, and black screen-- crash to desktop. I re-open FS with Autosave, same plane, same airport, and everything's fine. It will load up fine for 6 or 7 more times, then I can expect a CTD.... Any ideas??
  17. There is a new version of VIDP (v2.9) without the construction cranes. Terminal 3 is done and in use. Get it at www.frfstudio,net
  18. I kept getting the "JIT debugging" error no matter how many times I downloaded and tried the Woai Installer. I had to install manually. Is there a newer installer that I don't know about??
  19. We have just put Lubbock, TX online at www.frfstudio.net along with a new version of London City.Lubbock will be uploaded to Avsim, but for now you can get it at our website. Key West, Fl and Delhi, India with the new Terminal 3 are up next..
  20. Did they correct the wingviews for the new E-Jets?I have the E170/190, and the wingviews for the 190 are really just 170 wings with 190 textures, so they never really look right. The textures on the wingviews for the 190 do not line up perfectly, and they have the 170 winglet. The exterior view is correct. I was wondering if they fixed that for the 195..
  21. As far as the missing textures go, there aren't any. Sometimes when there are multiple duplicate textures in different folders, they don't display. It is a limitation of iether Flight Simulator or EZ Scenery or both. The easiest fix is to copy the textures from the scenery's texture folder and paste them into FS9/texture. I have had this note in my scenery for quite some time now, but it was not in the readme from Shez's download from Avsim.As far as mip mapping textures go, they are mipped. So far, other users and testers are not having mip issues with this scenery. If you are having mip mapping problems, check out your system very well and make sure there are no adjustments that need to be made to your video card settings. If you cannot solve the problem, email either Shez or me, and send us some pics of the textures in question. We'll work it out together.As far as the "mysterious hill" goes, it is a representation of Signal Hill, which exists in real life. It is modelled as a scenery object for the time being, but in a future update, it will be an actual elevation change. If you need any other specific help or notice anything strange with the scenery, feel free to email me with plenty of pics, [email protected]
  22. Opa, that hill was placed on purpose to represent Signal Hill. At the time of production, my system was not cooperating with Sbuilder, and that was all I could do to install the hill. It is roughly the same height and area as the real hill. In a future update, Signal hil will be added as a rise in elevation. I live near LGB, and that hill is part of the scenery there. To arrive in LGB without it is just unrealistic..
  23. You can see the screenshots here : http://www.frfstudio.net/screenshots.html You can get the scenery here: FRFstudio.NET
  24. Beautiful scenery. I had never, in my FS career, flown into Okecie. This scenery made me do it. I flew a LOT 170 MXP-WAW at night, and landed visual onto the taxiway, as I had forgotten that I had to turn on the runway lights....... durrr....I took off out of Warsaw today on an AF 318 to CDG. Love EPWA!!
  25. FRF Studio will make or update a scenery a month for FS9 until we are all dead.... or at least until everyone can afford a computer strong enough to run the current version of FS...
