>It must have been the Weekend Overload>The link works on MondayThe link i posted works. But the download didn't. Did you try that? I did and got this (again);File unavailable...When you asked to download this file, we checked that the file was actually there.Unfortunately, it is currently unavailable. Due to disk problems, some old FS2004 Aircraft Repaints are currently unavailable; we apologize for the inconvenience.If the file you are attempting to downloads is not an old FS2004 Aircraft Repaint, however, there may well be a problem; please click here to let us know. Thanks!

I found quite a few like that today while browsing. More than i ever have.

SGA 737-500 repaint in the Canadian Forces theme by Tom Ball. I found it in the Avsim library but when ya try to download from the link, it says it's no longer available. http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...atID=fs2004acrpBeen looking thru Google and can't find a link. Anyone know where to grab the textures for this?

Thanks Reggie.By the way, i used to live in Keller, Texas. Moved to Minnesota a year and a half ago.

I'm designing an air force base and after tagging an ai parking spot for a C-5A cargo plane, a C-17 ai of mine was parked in those spots. Even though the tag for the aircraft type said 'C5A M003'.I'm curious on how to make the parking be specific to the plane i want there. Same goes for the fighter plane spots. I'll have one tagged for F-18's and F-16's will be there mixed in with the F-18s'.

I thank both of you for your responses. I got the one file downloading right now (whoppin' 69.5Mb file). I'll take her for a spin later this evening. Thanks! It's nice to have some classic aircraft.

There's some good one's by Eric O'Link. He's done some for Minnesota (my state), Wisconsin, S. Dakota and Illinois. Not quite as rural as you'd like maybe but the Minn airports are small none the less.Here... http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...4scen&Go=Search

Is there any freeware aircraft of the Red Baron's plane from WWI? I haven't been able to find one.

I usually resize it because the text is too small at my 1024x768 settings. There might be a better way but this works for me quite well.

>Wow! thanks! Just what I was looking for.I use this myself. In real life, this is where they park these birds. But i use 'em where i want them anyways. ;-))

Go to http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...4ai&DLID=104629 and this is the package for Whiteman AFB in Missouri where all B-2's are stationed.

That was it, Holger! Thank you! Here's what it looks like now.....http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/185175.jpg

I use both EZ Scenery and Instant Scenery to place objects in my personal scenery. I have FS9.My problem is with a default barn. I have a screen shot attached. The fence on the back side of the barn is all gobbledy gooked up. I don't know what happened.According to the Instant Scenery program, the file is called ag_barn_3 and located in scenery/generic/scenery and has a tag following it that says;f214ae09-5de8-4ab1-bc22-5a3a210c7b75Any help for me to get this texture to be the way it's supposed to be would be appreciated.Attached picture below...http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/185108.jpg

I've been using this neat little program by Martin Gleeson and it works great except for one thing.After you create the ILS approach and insstall the bgl file, there's nothing in the airports list of the airport ILS you modified. All there is is the airport ident. No airport name, city or state (or country). Is there a way to modify something to get that info to reappear?What i'm saying is that you can find the airport in the simulator airports list but the only thing that shows is the ident.

>Hi,>>You need to turn on PITOT heat with the shift/h keys. Your>PITOT tube is freezing up and airspeed drops to zero.>>Thanks,>JimOk, thanks for the tip. I guess after 2 years i should know that but we all learn at different paces, i guess.

When i set my weather (default weather) to heavy rain or snow, the aircraft (doesn't matter which either) loses the auto pilot speed setting. For instance, i'll be flying at 280 ias and the indicator all of a sudden goes to zero. I cant control the speed via auto pilot and, obviously, i overshoot the airport on final at high speed. I can set the auto pilot speed to whatever and it doesn't take. If i clear the weather or set the rain to light or medium, i don't ave this problem.Anyone have this little bug happen? I don't set my weather like that very much but it would be nice to fly in a torrential rain storm. lol

Seems to have been caused by my EZ-Scenery for some reason. I have FS9 installed on an external drive and EZ was on the internal drive and there was a conflict even with the external drive being on at the time. Weird.

Seems to have fixed it. Thanks a bunch!

Ive been having this problem since Saturday. Everytime i try to start FS9, i get the error message and the following words on the details section;AppName: fs9.exe AppVer: 9.1.0.40901 ModName: d3d9.dllModVer: 5.3.2600.2180 Offset: 0003a46bI've searched the forum, Googled it, read even more and the only thing i get out of my problem is downloading and reinstalling DirectX 9. So, i did. It don't work still. I still get the message (error)I don't have anything snazzy on FS9 other than EZ Scenery. Bunch of freeware aircraft an scenery.I'm at my wits end. If i can't get this to work, i guess it's bye-bye simming.

I'm alright with it nowadays but i'm absolutely green when it comes to hardware.Thanks for the help and answers.

>Make sure you check what video adapter slot your motherboard>is equipped with.

Now, is this the same as PCI-Express or is that yet a different type?

>Make sure you check what video adapter slot your motherboard>is equipped with. Newest technology is PCI-E. but older>systems have AGP.>>Both work fine, but the video card has to match..Ok.My computer is a late 2003, early 2004 HP/Compaq model. So, i'm sure it falls in the new technology slot. I'll be looking into the chassis in the coming month to find out what i have.
