Ok Thanks for the help...I will try it when i get some timeCheersUly

Hi guys,I want to repaint the F4u7 Corsair: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/syb2.cgi?section=vintage&file=F4U1ACorsairProject.zipI want to change the base colour from dark blue to any other colour i.e red, yellow or white and keep all the rivets, bolts and lines ectHow do I do this? The template is in .bmp format and not in a layered .psd?I have seen other re paints of this aircraft like the Coke Usa in Red which the painter has kept the Rivets and lines.Uly

Yes The Payware wilco Tiltrotor and A2A P-47 have paint kits included and I have done a few paints for them. Justflights R-44 Helicopter has a paint program included, but when you use it all the detail like rivets and lines are not included....so it looks terrible :(I am trying to figure out how to paint the Freeware Honda Jet at the moment...with not much luck :(Uly

Hi,Where can I buy Trackir5 From in Australia off the shelf in a physical store or are they only sold on the net / mail order?CheersUly

I have a few freeware and some payware aircraft without Paintkits that I would like to repaint in PSP?How do I do that?cheersUly

This is what I heard the first time I tried this mission...I wasn't sure what to do and I crashed. The rest of the times I tried this mission i heard this..... That would make sense if the engine is hit and on fire then it probably wouldn't restart.I will try again later this mission and listen more carefully to what the instructor says. I really like this mission...even tho I find it hard. I have never heard of a corkscrew maneuver before being so new to flying. It always amazes me what real pilots have to do and learn in aviation.Uly

I am looking for WWII Grass or Dirt Landing strips Scenery to Land my P-47 Thunderbolt at.or any Very long ( 4000 feet or longer ) Grass landing strips to practice takeoff or landing at with the P-47 Thunderbolt.ThanksUly

Yeah I've been thinking that too. I tried the mission from the begining and still the same result :(But I did manage to land the lear jet on one engine lolIt wasn't the proper way to complete the mission, but atleast its completed.Thanks for your helpUly

Ok I have tried many different ways including the startup procedure you provided here....I cannot restart the engine! :(I tried a free flight with the learjet and had no problem starting the engine from a cold start.I have no idea why the engine won't restart.Uly

How Do I get the Engine to restart? I get to 6000 no problem in spiral. I try to restart engine number 1...N1 gets to 13.3 and doesn't go any further?I am pretty much a rookie with planes so I am probably doing something wrong?I have used Ctrl-e and the engine pop up panel to try to restart with no luck.If I get the engine to restart I think I can land no problems.Uly

Hi Scott, You are spot on mate. Its the T-VASI system :-) No wonder I was so confused. I found some info on the T-VASI system and I just did a perfect landing ;-)Thanks for your help....would never had figured that one out. Oh BTW your Screenshot didn't show up?CheersUly

Hi Luis, The readme for the Thermal download package says..."FSX/2004/FS2002 Whole Montana ,Soaring SceneryThis file came about because I wanted some thermals lifts to keep glider´s over whole Montana Region,USA.It is useful to primary and advanced gliders flights.Installation:Unzip file Thermals inside Addon Scenery folder and activate Thermals folder using Settings It is Freeware.Good flights end better Landings.Volta Redonda,Brazil,01/01/2008Design: Francisco Vargas. E-mail: [email protected]"Hard to Know they are not compatible when the Readme says that???Tom...I'm not using direct x 10 preview mode only direct x 9.Scott S.... thanks for the link will check it out now ;-)Uly

I tried an airport not in Australia and I get a normal red and white glide slope...Any airport in Australia gives me all red or all white depending how low or high I go...no in between?I am using VOZ 1.8 Australia Scenery....could this affect the runway lights?Uly

Ok I tried those options and I still have the blocky Thermals. When I disable the Thermal New mexico or Montana in my addon scenery and use the Schematic option I see the nice green thermal spirals.For some reason this addon Package Thermals of New Mexico and Montana show up as blocky graphics?Uly

Hi Guys, I downloaded some Thermals for Gliding...."FSX/2004/FS2002 Whole New Mexico ,Soaring Scenery.This file adds thermals lifts to glider

Hi Guys, I have noticed when I come in to land the runway VASI / PAPI lights either stay full White or if I'm too low Full Red. They never show 2 red and 2 white so that I know i'm on the right glide slope.I have tested it out at all different Heights / Glide slopes and they are either one or the other.Am I doing something wrong or do I have some sort of glitch?cheersUly

I recently purchased FSX. I aslo have FS9. I am currently getting between 15 - 23fps sitting at Rotterdam airport at the C1 parking area, with the Nederlands NL2000 scenery. In the sky I get between 15 - 45fps. Sometimes it can go a slow as 5fps over heavy area's. Airports seem to be the area which really slow's down my Fps.I have also tested planes with the Bluesky photo scenery and I get between 30 - 60 FPS. I also see my default scenery runs at 25 to 65 FPS.I am looking to Buy ORBX's Aussie scenery and Brisbane Airport. They say ORBX's scsnery runs like the default so i should get above 25 Fps?Someone suggested to get another 2gb of 1333 ram making a total of 4gb of 1333 Ram on my Win Xp system. I understand WinXP will only recognise 3.2 or so of the 4gb Ram.Is this extra ram going to help?Is there ways of making Airports easier on frame rates?I think the Nederlands Scenery might be hard on Frame rates anyway?I was also thinking of overclocking my CPU but I have no experience in this area and I don't want to buy a new CPU if overclocking cuts my cpu's life span in half ect. My Motherboard has a Utility called Easytune6 that can overclock the cpu. It has a quick boost feature that overclocks the cpu:1. 3.2ghz / 1600 FSB2. 3.44ghz / 1720 FSB3. 3.60ghz / 1800 FSBWould this Improve my frame rates without damageing my cpu or making my pc unstable in anyway?Here are my current pc specs:Antec 900 caseGigabyte s775 GA-EP45T-UD3LR core 2 motherboard Intel s775 core 2 Quad core Q9400 Kingston 2gb ddr3 1333 1 stick Antec 1000watt Psu Geforce 8800 Video CardWin xp Pro2x sata hdCheersUly

ok I have done some testing and it looks like I only have this problem when I pause Fs9 and go to check emails or go to a web page ect. When I get back into Fs9 it cause that Weird cockpit graphic problem. So I guess I will just have to stay in fs9 while flying and not check e-mails ect. I also checked my panel.cfg and it all looks ok there...so I guess it's just a weird bug of some sort?CheersUly

Hi guys, Does anyone know what might be causing this?This happens in 2d cockpit or Virtual Cockpit when I run the mouse over clickable buttons or instrament gauges or bring up the GPS, Airspeed Indicator or other instrament gauges or panels. It seems to bring up a graphic of another part of the cockpit or one time it brought up a cockpit of one of my helicopters.Its very hard to fly when this happens and it doesn't happen on all of my aircraft.CheersUly

Ok So FSX is Registered to the FSX and Me that I returned to the store and Acceleration I will use the new product Key that they gave me today? SO I guess the person that Buys the FSX Deluxe that I returned wont be able to register it will they? or doesn't it work like that?I wrote down the 2 Product Keys from FSX Deluxe that I returned...should I use the key from Acceleration from that?Sorry for all the questions...just want to be sure of what I'm doing.Uly

Ok I went back to the store. The mixup was that the EB girl gave me the FSX Deluxe DVD's in the FSX Gold Pack. I now have The correct DVD's for FSX and Acceleration.Now Will I have to Uninstall FSX (Deluxe) and Re-install FSX Deluxe & Acceleration as I now have New Product Key for FSX Deluxe??Uly

Can you guys confirm that the Gold edition has 3 DVD's? 2 for FSX and 1 for Acceleration?Because I only have 2...The 2 to install FSX?I don't have any of the Acceleration Aircraft installed.The EB Girl said she notice there was a 3 on the dvd case and she thought there might be 3 DVD's. She searched and all the other packages of FSX and they only had 2 DVD's.Don't tell me I have to go back again??? :( Also If they decided to give me a whole new set of FSX DVD's instead of just giving me the Acceleration dvd...will that affect my Fsx Product Key?Uly

Ok I went to the store an told them I didn't have a Product Key. She looked thru the other FSX DVD's and Manuals and found some had a loose piece of card with 2 product keys. She gave me 1 card with 2 product keys on it. She looked thru the rest and found about 8 without Product Keys.Yeah My dvd case has genuine MS app hologram covering the seams. It is cut in halve and has been opened, But i'd say that's becasue they keep the DVD's and Manuals of all there Games in a draw behind the counter to stop theft.I tried the second of the 2 product keys as it said Xp on it which I thought was the operating system I am using...It didn't work. So I tried the 1st Product key Then and it worked. FSX is Activated now :)So i'm not sure if the Product key I tried didn't work because it is activated by someone else or for some other reason?Anyway I have a working / activated FSX now :)Thanks Guys for your help :)Uly

Ok I will take it back this morning :(Should I ask for a replacement or just get the Product key? Is each product key linked to specific fsx dvd's or can EB just give me one from another FSX Gold edition case? I don't want to get home and find out it doesn't work with my FSX DVD.Thanks for the help so far :)Uly

Hi Guys, I have been waiting to find FSX cheap and I found FSX Gold Edition 50% off at EB Games. Got home Installed it and tried to activate it, but I can't find the Product Key anywhere???Usually they are on the DVD case or on a Piece of paper in the DVD Case or on the manual. I can't find it anywhere. This is very frustrating!! :( Am I blind or doing something wrong. I am trying to Activate thru the Internet. If I am missing a product key I guess I will have to return it to the store.Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.Uly
