Weather Radar
Hi everyone, 1900 SP1 on FSX-SE WIN 7 x64 Not sure what happened, one minute the weather radar was working, then it would do one sweep only through an entire flight, now does nothing?? Any ideas?? Peter

Flight Simulator X Deluxe Problem!
Phoned the number on the activation screen and it was an automated service, straight forward, but rediculous that I had to do it. I paid for it, after all

Frequency and AP adjustment controls
My biggest complaint with 1900 would be the vague and misaligned adjustment points for the nav and ap. Incredibly annoying and it would appear slap dash. Surely, if you make an aircraft that is this popular and to a high level of detail (as this definitely is), you wouldn't at least make changing frequecies etc to be at least as easy as a vanilla a/c that comes as standard?? Unfortunately this has ruined my favourite aircraft. PMDG 1900 worked much better, alas not so easy to port over as half the gauges need changing and the vc quality looks crap on Fsx. Can the gauges be fixed??

Installing add ons
Sorry if this has been covered, couldn't find it if it has. Trying to install Orbx global and vectors to steam but it always defaults to the FSX orig folder and there is no where to change install folders. Same with UT 2, wants to install app data in FSX folders and can't change it! Anyone know what to do?. Regards Peter

Co-pilot set up
I'm surprised more people haven't thought to add this option onto their aircraft?? Flight1 ATR, Corenado B1900 etc. Guess it's time to get the PDFs out! Lol Thanks for your help Apliance, it is exactly the set up I was looking for!!

Co-pilot set up
Hi all, Please move this post if it's the wrong place. I've been racking my brains on a set up so my son can be my co-pilot. The idea is, that I run fs9, in vc on one pc while he's sat at a networked pc with the co-pilots vc view but has his own controls and is able to interact with the same controls I can (flaps, gear etc), like a real co-pilot does ( he is only 10 also). Is there a way to do this?? I have a registered copy of FSUIPC and WideFS. I can run my weather etc from the networked pc. I have FS9 installed on the second PC also. Spent a very late night (morning), pulling my hair out last night and being frowned at by my wife!! Anyone help or send me in the right direction?? Regards Peter

AMD or Intel for FS9
hawk_eye1975 replied to Appliance's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcNot being funny mate, but I know my PC, had it long enough and considering its a fresh install with only the 9.1 upgrade and the large file upgrade added to it at this point, I disagree and would happily post images of my processor use, nay a damd video if you like?? Just wanted to add info to the forum and maybe get some USEFUL feedback to explain why it is as it is, because I do not know why it uses BOTH CORES. See other posts, trying to find the answer Peter

hawk_eye1975 replied to Appliance's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcI'm using and old amd 64 x2 6400. It's not great, but can't afford upgrade. My fs9 uses both cores, (I have 9.1 upgrade)?? Actually maxes both cores So, if fs9 is single core, how come it uses both and could this info be useful to the original poster??

Strange crash behaviour
Hi to all, Not that it is something I plan to do, but, when attempting a landing in some user defended, nigh hurricane weather, I crashed. Normally this means you hit the ground and and a green bar comes across the top of the screen saying crash, then restarts. Mine seems to go underground, spin around uncontrollably, then throws you high up into the sky spinning, you then have to manually end the flight or it carries on and on. Anyone know why this could be, it's got me stumped. I have tested this with add on aircraft and stock aircraft, and has the same results. Peter

Moving an Airport
Hi all, My son wanted me to build him an airport that runs through our back garden (he's 10). I have figured out all the exclusion and background polys, i can make the runways etc with ADE9, but buildings im stuck with. Is it possible to move or copy an airport & buildings, then place it where i want??? Many thanks Peter

Airport Build
Hi All, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. My son wanted me to build an airport for him (He's 10). I can use ADE9 to make the airport itself, no probs, and i've figured out how to flatten the area and make exclusions (again with ADE9). But how do i make (I'm not sure what its called) the area that the airport is built on. Stock and add on airports have (in most cases) a green grass like area (polygon??) that everything is built onto. It appears to mask the underlying FS9 ground textures. Any help please?? Peter

FS9 AI Sound file question
Hi all, Do FS9 AI aircraft ignore the sound folder ?? I have been puling my hair out over this all day, checked all the file names etc etc, tryed "alias" sound config files.......... I have Tornado fighter jets sounding like a 747 and chinook's sounding like a Dash 8 out of Southampton?? Doesn't seem to mater what i do, the sound folder has nice afterburning noises, the plane in FS9 goes "whinnnneing past" like it has turbo fans??? And the Chinnok ..... well i just laughed at that. Am i missing something REALLY obvious here?? Can anyone stop me going bald ???? Thanks in advance Peter

FS9 monitor flashing on splash screen
Hi all, Hope some can help. This weekend I moved my second PC into the house and connected to my 37" led tv via a VGA cable for my eldest. Windows worked fine, fsx worked fine, though it kept running out of memory. When I start fs 9, it just gets to the splash screen and then makes all of windows flash on and off and fs9 hangs. Gave up in the end Anyone have and ideas??

Adding satellite imagery to FS9
Thanks to all for replying, I have to admit, i've recently become an ADE JUNKIE!!!!! That pice of software is fantastic, as long as you don't begger it up installing "EditVoicePak" !!! As for the sat images, its for VFR flying my local area and for my eldest who wants to learn to fly from my local airfield, where i learn't. Thought it might be usefull to start picking out visual markers etc. I think i might leave it for now, and come back to it when i've got to grasp with FS9 a ittle more, as Jeff said above. Off to get my ADE fix Thanks again to you all Peter

Adding satellite imagery to FS9
I'm still new to fs9, but have been pulling here out trying to follow online tutorials for adding satellite imagery to fs9. Can anyone point me in the direction of a simply explained tutorial or can someone on here explain the software needed and the process? Many thanks in advance
