Thanks Rudi, that did the trick ! Tom

Just recently I noticed whenever I select any of the 2D cockpit items whether it's the full forward instrument panel or just an individual panel like the FMC it appears but is transparent and ghost-like in appearance. This is especially annoying with the full forward panel displayed because you can see through it and ground objects are visible like taxi way lines and ground equipment. Is there something I can adjust to make this go away and restore the density of the 2D panels? Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana

Just noticed yesterday on NGX flight that the beacon atop the fuselage was on but not flashing it was just a steady red light, any solution to this? I've tried cycling the anti-collision beacon switch on the overhead but nothing changes.Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana

*******,I'm having trouble installing the FPS limiter ( see my earlier post from today 11/15/11) it may be because I'm using the wrong component of Java. Earlier I had to download Java since this relatively new laptop was without it. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated. After purchasing PMDG's 737 NGX I'm forced to get involved with FSX whereas before I was pretty much a FS9 disciple. My only complaint with FSX is lousy frame rates which are at most times barley at 10. I purchased FSX Booster but that didn't seem to help much.Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana

Downloaded the FPs Limiter .2 rar but when I click on the download I get an 'unable to launch application' from Java stating in the details window that the launch file is missing <jnlp>. It's obvious I'm doing something wrong, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Jim I'll try your suggestion, also when I tried to install the program the few times I was trying to put it in the programs folder. Should FS9 have it's own dedicated folder? Thanks Again, Tom

Yesterday after receiving my newly minted copy of FS2004 from Amazon I tried to install it on my new laptop which is equiped with Windows 7 Home and a i5 core processor. Well everything appeared to go swimmingly until we got to the 77% completed area when it stalled on the Amster.cab file on disk 4 and there it just hung up while CD ROM continued to spin away. I waited a considerable time for a load but nothing changed and I eventually aborted the installation, I tried this process three times each with same result .Does anyone have a clue as to what may be the cause of this, I sure would appreciate some direction. This is 64 bit OS with 6 GB of RAM. Thanks in Advance, Tom

I have a brand new laptop 5 core with Windows 7, right now I'm trying to load disk 4 of FS2004 and get to 77% then it hangs up on the Amster.cab file and never gets any further. This is my third attempt at trying to install the program, anyone have any suggestions? Tom

Thanks Bill, I'll check the dedicated forum out, thanks again for the tips. Tom

I recently purchased a new new laptop with Windows 7 OS. I've been reading on Google that some folks have had issues running FS2004 after installing it on a Windows 7 machine. Have any of you had a problem with this OS and FS2004, and if you did what was done to correct it? I haven't installed the sim yet and if it appears that this going to be a can of worms I'll just stick with my desk top and Windows XP. Tom

During the last week I have tried on multiple occasions to install Shez's software but haven't had any luck at all. After installing as per the readme texts all I get when firing up FS9 is a window informing me that it's 'Loading Scenery Objects.....' it get's to 1% on the bar graph then the sim freezes up and then I have to use the windows task manager to get out of the sim. Does anybody have a step by step approach you used to install this airport, if you do I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance. Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana

I've done everything I can think of to get KLGB to even show up, all I get is a boxed message saying 'Loading Scenery Objects', it then get's to about 1% complete when FS9 locks up and I have to use the windows manager to back out of it. I've followed the installation instructions in the readme text but to no avail, anybody have any ideas? This airport has sentimental value to me since I flew for Douglas out there back in the late 70's. Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana aka dc9man

Just completed a flight from Adak Island (PADK) in the Aleutian chain to Henderson Field at Midway Island (PMDY) only to discover on my arrival that there wasn't any airport, oops! So I downloaded a freeware of Midway and installed it and it looks great but for one detail, the landing gear of my 767-300 is about 3 feet below the surface of the tarmac. What do I do to correct this, I followed the designers instruction to the tee ? Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana, USA aka dc9man

I was enjoying a beautiful flight from ATL to BZN (Bozeman, Montana) in a PMDG 747-400 into a setting sun when just outside of Billings getting ready to start my descent when FS9 crahed to desktop telling me there wasn't enough memory. I have a Core2 Quad with an Invidia 9800 GTX video card so I was surprised when this happened. Running along side FS9 was Active Sky Evolution both of which were activated via Multi-Core Environment. Any suggestions as to how to avoid this in the future? Thank You in Advance, Tom Helwick, Livingston, Montana

This is probably a shot in the dark but if there is anyone out there that flys the Wilco A320 please let me know if you have an answer to this. After performing a normal climb and level off with auto thrust activated the airspeed ever so slowly begins to increase until eventually it's in the barber poll. The N1 indicators show the blue arc where the thrust 'should' be but there is no reduction in RPM in fact it remains at the climb thrust RPM. I've checked Wilco's forum for solutions but the only tweak I could find was increasing the null on the throttles it helps in stabilizing the airspeed control in the climb but does nothing to elevate the problem in cruise. Also I use CH Products yoke and TQ, and interestingly enough there is no way I can get the TQ to operate the thrust levers either through FS9 or FSUIPC. Tom
