Always sad when a sim site 'stops', especially as they were amongst the oldest forums/libraries, along with SOH, Simviation & Avsim. Lets hope that they return, or even hope that those that used their library as a repository for their add-ons, still have their add-ons & possibly repost them on other libraries, so that their add-ons are still being able to be shared.

I have not really followed the forums, but a quick look now, about 50% English, the rest in Russian. Having said that, a lot of the downloads have the docs & readme's in Russian, and it's impossible to translate. But the PDF's are no problem at all. I convert them to Word, then copy into an on-line translator, Windows 11 has a 'Snipping Tool' that can extract text from a picture or PDF. After the translation, I paste back into the Word doc, then save it as a PDF. It's almost quicker to do than explaining the process.

You can get 'Translate' extensions for most browsers, that will translate on the fly.

I've just downloaded quite a few aircraft. I'm using Edge, & the site comes up in English. Files - Avsim.su

Mine is in English. I'm using the following link.. Files - Avsim.su

And we can all breath a bit better now!! Good work!

Mine is also set to XP SP2 mode. Not sure & cannot remember why, but I've always set it to that.

No luck. - 'Page could not be loaded'.

It has just been a habit of mine to set Compatibility & Admin, & At the moment, I'm running 3 different themed versions of FS9. I also use windows mode. Just looking at your mobile rig... I'm also using an ASUS A15 Ryzen 7 4800H16GB RAM & a 500GB SSD. AMD onboard, & NVIDIA RTX 3050 GPU I have a 2TB & a 500GB portable drive permanently plugged in, & am running my sims, including P3Dv4.5 from them. I did a test by running FS9 from the SSD & then from the portable drive, & found not much difference. No lagging at all. As long as it works.....🤩

Just asking if anyone can get into Sim-Outhouse? I'm getting a "Page could not be loaded' error.

To get FS2004 working in Windows 10 & 11... 1. Do NOT install into it's default C:\Program Files folder, install into, for example. C:\Flightsim 2004 2. After the install ..Download & run the FS9.1 update patch Flight Simulator 2004 Update v9.1 3. Download & replace the existing fs9.exe with the FS9.1 No-Cd patch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 v9.1 No-CD Patch for FS2004 4. Right-click the (replaced) FS9.exe & click the 'Compatibility' tab Select 'XP mode' or whatever XP mode there is. Then .. Click the 'run as Administrator' box Run the sim... All should be perfect! You will probably find that the sim will run a bit smoother as well. Enjoy!

Sometimes, Files or folders get 'Read Only' if the sim is installed in it's default folder. If installed anywhere else, things should be OK. 'Shrug'!! Windows 10 & 11 can cause a hair pulling out session. A Scotch normally helps.🍻

Nice chatting again.. I'm working on yet another FS9 install, beginning of flight, up to the 1930's. With suitable mods & scenery. Best of luck sorting out the issue, & thanks, in anticipation, for your sharing the solution. Regards Robin

Before you install another copy, find & delete 'fs9.cfg' Normally here: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9 If you cannot find it, download 'Everything' from www.voidtools,com - it's a very quick desktop search engine that finds as you type. The sim will rebuild a new on when it starts up again. You will probably need to redo you key & button assignments afterwards. The has got me up & running again, after an oopsie!. You just never know, it's worth a try.

Blue: To get FS2004 to run with modern GPU's & Operating Systems! 1. Install the sim - NOT in it's default 'Program Files' folder but in another. 2. Download & install & run the fs9.1 update 3. Download & install & run the fs9.exe patch (Replace the existing fs9.exe with the new one) 4. Right-click the (new) fs9.exe & select 'Properties' 5. Click on the 'Compatibility' tab & select 'Windows XP) 6. Then click 'Run as Administrator' Run FS2004 That's it!! P.S. You can have multiple FS2004 installs, but that is for another time. FS2004 WILL & Does run with modern graphics cards once the above update & patch is installed.
