I just tested it. It's exactly what I wanted to do, thank you very much Joe !! :smile:

Ok I will test it later today and will tell you if it works, thanks!

FS 2004. It look promising I must give it a try! Too bad the manual is in French...

Ok I could give a try. But then how to configure GE Pro in the way that these textures are depicted only in Spain instead of the whole world?

Could you please elaborate?

Take a look for instance at satellite view of Spain on google maps Of course the northern and the northwestern part i very green but the climate is extremely wet there. All other parts are of mediterranean climate and are 'yellow'

Hello! I've got a question regarding controls of the engines in a twin engine aircraft. I am using F buttons to control the thrust and I've been wondering is there any way that I can control each engine with different button? e.g. assign the keyboard buttons so that I could decrease left engine thrust with F1, right engine with F2 and increase left engine thurst with F3 and right engine with F4? I know that you can select the engine that you want to control but it isn't what I want to do. Any help would be appreciated

Hi there! I am using Ultimate Terrain Europe and Ground Environment Pro and what bothers me is that in the summer whole Spain's vegetation looks like vegetation in, say, the Netherlands or UK - the terrain is green and there is no sign of the Spanish dry mediterranean climate - looks nothing like Spain. Is there any way to make Spain's terrain look like Spain?

I'll take a look at the scenery.cfg. I've tried that, wherever I fly there is no problem, it only occurrs in Madrid. The longest flight I've done in a couple of weeks was 4 hours, Manchester - Gran Canaria, no problem at all. Not dependent on the time of the day, it was crashing no matter what hour I was landing at. Yesterday I flew the route Barcelona - Paris Charles De Gaulle - Madrid without any reloading etc. Everything was going smoothly until like 5 minutes before ToD to Madrid - I was switching something in the weather radar, FS went black, I heard a sound like you hear when disconnecting pendrive for instance and game over I restarted FS, moved the plane to the, more or less, point at which FS crashed, made the descent to LEMD and no problem appeared. So I will need to test it once again soon..

As far as the first two first are concerned I am not sure if they may be the reason in my case, because I have been flying with all the add-ons for a long time without any problems, and I didn't modify anything in the last couple of weeks. As far as the latter one is concerned, what do you mean by corrupt ai aircraft? Corrupted model file? Could you be more specific on that? Today I am going to force FS to a very hard work, I'm going to fly from Barcelona to Paris Charles de Gaulle and back to Madrid in one 'session' and without reloading anything in FS. If the game doesn't crash, I'll consider the problem solved...

?? :huh: PMDG has released numerous add-ons for FS9... Drastically reduce the detail of the plane? I think I need to send you a screenshot of the PMDG 737 running on FS9. Besides, what do you care about the detail of the plane when you are sitting in the cockpit for the whole flight? It's the cockpit and the flight modelling that matters if you buy such add-on.

I am using the FS9 but I am thinking about switching to FSX. One reason is what High Plains Flyer said - more and more developers are giving up on the FS9. The second reason is that I fly PMDG 737NG, I absolutely adore this aircraft both in sim and rw. Some time ago PMDG issued 737 NGX and from what I've read here it's an amazing piece of art. I was hoping they would issue it on FS9 as well but my hopes are long gone now. So I am thinking about switching to FSX just to be able to fly on PMDG 737NGX I run FS9 with all the sliders max details and it is running very nicely, so I think I would be able to fly with decent settings in FSX - but correct if I'm wrong.

Ok I think I might have solved the problem. I just finished a 1 hour flight from PAlma de Mallorca to LEMD and everything went fine, the FS did not crash. What I did - I looked through ! all ! the AI aircraft folders in search for mistakes in aircraft.cfg files. I found in a few that sometimes the [flightsim.x] sections were not in proper order or the number were duplicated. But I don't think that these mistakes were causing the problem, because I'd been flying without any problems with these cfg files. What in fact might have caused the problem - In CRJ900 folder there were 5 texture folders (adria airways and air nostrum). The [flightsim.x] section in aircraft.cfg was one big mess. The numbers were duplicating - I think it was like 0,1,1,2,2 - and in addition, there were mistakes in the sections 'texture=x'. The names of the folders with textures that were entered into 'texture=x' were totally wrong. I think I put 'texture=air nostrum' while in fact the texture folders with nostrum liveries were called "texture.air_nostrum castillo' and "texture.air_nostrum galicio". So FS9 could not find such folders as just "air nostrum". Apparently when you put the proper texture folder name in 'texture=x' but bmp files in this folder are corrupted, or there are multiple bmp files there, the FS won't crash, the texture will just not load and the aircraft will be grey. (Happened to me many times when installing new traffic - the game didn't crash but I was seeing just models of airplanes flying, w/o liveries). But if you put a wrong texture folder name in 'texture=x' FS will be crashing. Summing up: I THINK the problem is solved. But soon when I have time I will make a longer flight to Madrid, say from Manchester or Amsterdam, so flights in which FS9 was crashing lately and will inform you if the problem is totally fixed

Of course if you allow FMC to fly with higher speed the plane will descent faster but the problem starts when there are speed restrictions. And I'm not saying the 250kt below 10,000ft restriction as it is dropped by ATC many many times. But there are other points like SLPs, like IAFs, FAFs and other waypoints at which, according to STARs or IACs, there are different MAX speeds. E.g. approach procedures to LEMD, they have multiple speed restrictions on the way to the airport. E.g. if you approach to one of 18's via SIE, the restriction is SIE at 12,000ft max speed 220kt. Another approach states ORBIS at max speed 250kt and FL190 ! In such situations slowing down to a speed below max authorised speed at a given point is the only option to be able to complete the procedure. Ok, agreed
