Thanks for that. Sorry for the late reply, life you know.

Thanks guys, All the files went back to default. I'll look into Air-Ed. Does anyone know if it works in WIN 10?

I accidentally changed the Air file in FS9 and can't figure out how to change it back to notepad. When i select notepad and open it all i can see in the file is a mixture of characters and numbers, having not opened the air file before, i don't know if that is the way it should look. Help please.

Thank you for the info, al lthe points you make are in effect. ie; outside of program files, etc. As long as i click run as admin. it's all good, and that works for me, cheers.

Hi, i have read that AI Smooth works in Win10 with fs9. I install it in the modules folder and it works but when i end that flight and start another it does not work. When i open it, it is not connected to FSUIPC which is registered and also says FS9 is not running, but it is. Update when i open my modules folder and click run as admin. it works, but starting from the taskbar shortcut no joy.

HI, for those who are running FS9 on Win10 what driver are you using. I used to run Nvidia 384.94 with my Win7. With the Win10 i have GeForce 432.00 and it causes terrible shimmering. Is it advisable to install the old driver?

Thanks Mark, FS9 will always be my favorite. I just have to give fsx-se a try and see how it goes. Just hope that following Robins advice i can get FS9 running smoooth. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback James, Looking forward to getting started.

I installed REX and bunch of other add-ons, scenery and texture add-ons without issues. The biggest problem with Win 10 is complex aircraft. There are quite a few known not to work in Win 10.

 

Any you can name I have Qualitywings 757 and Bae, old PMDG 737, Capt.Sim, etc..

Hi, I'm finally moving to Win 10. I intend to follow the instructions by Robin for re-installing FS9. I also intend to run FSX-SE, i have many payware sceneries that are compatible with both sims. I want to ask my fellow simmers about any issues that you may have had installing programs such as REX FS2004 and Overdrive, GE Pro, Ultimate Terrain, etc Into FS9 of course.. If you have done the switch i would like to hear of any issues you might have encountered. Thanks, David

Thanks for this, Long live FS9.

Thanks, I'm jealous of your lack of problematic lights. lol, i'll try the smaller bmp, i think the problem is deeper than that though. Cheers

I do not recall any fix for FT's KTPA and do not have issues with the rwy lights.

 

Have you added and tried adjusting the light scalar values for rwy lights in your FS9.cfg under [DISPLAY]?

 

 

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.7 //scales edge, center,end,touchdown,runways

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.7 //scales VASI/PAPI lights

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.0 //scales approach light bars

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.0 //scales RAILs and ODALs

 

I have a GTX 1070 and use these values.

Increase or decrease the values to change light size. (Default values are 1.0 (100%).

 

Also you check out some of the HALO.bmp files in the library and see if any address the changes you desire. This is a trade off, though, as it effects lights for both scenery & aircraft.

 

HI I have the cfg the way you do. Are you using the reboot ver of KTPA. My papi lights look like they are on fire, just a red haze rising upwards.

Has anyone come across a fix for the runway lighting at Fly Tampa KTPA. Only deal with OMDB on their website. Thanks

On my version (2.2 I think), you need to use the 'spoiler' command to extend and retract the landing lights. I have the spoilers linked to a lever on my CH Yoke, so it is easy to operate.

 

Thank you Graeme, you nailed it. Cheers from the Great White North.

I believe that both of those gauges use the Water Rudder to extend/retract the lights, so if that is true for the Cessna the default key combo would be Shift-W. Worth a try.

 

Thank you Tom, will give it a go.

Took this out of the hanger the other day. Does anyone remember the key combo to get the landing lights to extend from the wings.

Thanks Bill. That fix did the trick. Been looking for that for a looong time. Cheers

Hi I just tried the link and it doesn't work. Do you perhaps have a file name. Update i found the file, Thanks again

Hello Mowgli,

 

This is a conflict with the great Hellenic Scenery Project. Panos Georgotas of HSP has uploaded a fix:

File name: marmara_fix.zip.

 

Hope this is useful.

 

All the best,

Bill

 

Thank you so much Bill. I will give this a try and let you know. Cheers, David

Hi, I installed the LTBA V1.21 scenery and the required Marmara scenery. I appear to have some type of duplicate coastlines. Followed all instructions as per readme. If anyone has these installed and could help it would be appreciated as the Airport is pretty good but the coastlines kinda spoil it. Thanks, Dave
