Does anybody know how to increase / decrease the visibility distance of paaroach lights in GMax. Is it, in fact a GMax function or an effect in FS or anything elas I haven't thought of?Thanks

Maybe this will help someone. For the last couple of days I've been getting a message saying "Runtime Error! Program C:\FS2004\FS9.exe R6025 - pure virtual function call". It generally happened about mid-climb. FS would then shut down. After reading numerous posts in this forum (Wonderful thing this forum!!) I managed to solve it. Here's what I did:1. Downloaded & installed the vb40016 runtime files & placed in Windows\System folder2. Deleted & re-built my default flight3. Replaced my FS9.exe file with the original (9.1) one4. Deleted & rebuilt my FS9.cfg fileAll is fine now. I can't really say which one - or which combination of the above - worked, but having done all four it got rid of the problem

Hi. Just to let you all know, Durban International (South Africa) is closing at the end of this month. The new airport - King Shaka opens 01 May. There is a basic scenery available here & there should be a detailed scenery & afcad available in the relatively near future

Thanks to both of you for your replies.I've had the problem for ages, on an off, but usually only occasionally so I have just lived with it. Fairly recently it started happening more frequently. This could be due to the 500 figure mentioned here, as I just noticed that I've just passed that, but I'll definitely try the suggestion to disable the more recent ones.Thanks againregardsBrian

Hope someone can help with this.Fairly frequently FS now hangs when I go to select the FS flight plan. There seems to be nothing short of shutting down & restarting FS that works. I use FSNav to complie & then export to FS so I re-installed FSNav, but that hasn't really helped.Anyone have any suggestions, ideas or a solution?ThanksBrian

WOW! Can't wait. Downloading now!

Did you follow the instructions where they say to remove certain files from 1.5? If so try putting them back. I had a similar recurring CTD problem until I replaced these files

There's also a program called Convimx which I believe is done by the same people who did DXTBMP. It has the advantage of being able to do multiple images at one time. Sorry, haven't got the link. Hope this helps

I think you should be able to get them both from World of AI. You'll need to download the complete packages though, but I think they're both AIA models

Ok it wasn't the envmap file. Any other suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks for the help guys. First, it's a Nvidia card - can't remember which offhand now, but I do remember it being an Nvidia setting in the past.I'll look at that envmap tooThanks

Thanks for that. I tried it but then the textures are TOO shiny - they look more like a mirror...

Hope somebody can help. I remember having this problem years ago but have forgotten how to fix it. I don't know what's suddenly changed. Any ideas?

I guess the problem is on my side then. Thanks for taking the trouble. I'll keep trying

Hi. Just got back into the 737-200 again after a long time. I have the tnms2v12.zip. I've been looking at the FAQ thread & it seems I need 1.21, 1.22 & 1.24 updates. I looked at the Avsim links but they're unavailable. Is there anywhere else that I can get them?

FS Global is a good mesh addon. I think it's still available for FS9

Thanks for this info. I had wondered why I couldn't find the site!
