Thanks for your interesting tip. I didn't thought about that. So I will give a try by modifying correspondingly the CFG files, what I had to do up to now anyway. Bernard

As you said, these are military aircraft. I'm not aware of civilian helicopters doing vertical take offs. Besides using Heli2009, but that's an other story. Anyway, with separate runways with a length of maximum 300 ft. you might get a quite acceptable traffic behaviour. Bernard

The purpose what just adding the Falcon 20 as static object and representing a mockup of the Dassault Mystère 20 in one of the factory buildings at Bordeaux Marignac. The building is part of "CalClassic Bordeaux Merignac 1961" scenery. Bernard

Thanks for your tips and support. @Herr Kirschstein: your suggestion was perfect and did it. Many thanks. I'm just slightly obset that the author declared the aircraft useable as AI. He furthermore added specifically a flightplan to the package. Either it works, or it should be left. Bernard

Nice u shots! I guess you were flying down the valley of the Leventina and finally landet on the lake of St. Moritz. The speciality there is rather a walnut pie. Bernard

The SGAI Dassault Falcon 20 downloaded here (https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=copyright&fid=191983) isn't shown in the aircraft library. It neither appears with the AI traffic included in the package. Did someone the same experience? Thanks for any advice. Bernard

BTW and just for fun, I tried some other SweetFX settings: comic style or Sepia old fashion picture looking like a scene of the 1930 movie "Hell Angels" These pictures haven't been reworked with a photo editor. Bernard

Mowgli, just to make things clear. I run both together, ENB and SweetFX. I have the feeling that ENB does stabilize scenery rendition, especially flickering effects. That's of course an absolute personal point of view. Bernard

Thar's right. But it also depends what SweetFX settings you choose. I like f.i. using a slight sepia touch with my vintage sim. Bernard

Perhaps it would slightly make more sense to think about how keeping FS9 attractive and bringing it out of the current lethargy. In any case this will not be possible by just renaming it. Bernard

Important to point out that both patches should be installed BEFORE running FS9 the first time. Otherwise they will be of no use.

There are some particular reasons why Tom Gibson uploaded those files. Eventually you should folllow CalClassic Forum from time to time and especially this thread: https://calclassic.proboards.com/thread/10747/calclassic-site-status Bernard

So why one of the administrators doesn't reply and explain the reasons????????? Ooh, I forgot, it's Sunday .....

Nice shot of La Ferté-Alais, for those which didn't recognized it. Bernard

Should eventually be checked before ... Bernard

Glad to see that things already have changed there! Bernard

Bad news, but I can understand it well. Turn it any way you want, interest in FS9 is steadily declining and becoming a fringe like its predecessors. This has already been treated umpteen times. In any case, you've deservedly been mentioned as "remberering pioneers". You can be proud of that. Unfortunately, those citations still as a kind of "swan song" of FS9... So who will be the last of the Mohicans? Thanks for all and Good Luck, Roger. Bernard

I didn't went head, but it seems still to be available. Bernard

With Instant Scenery and its WYSIWYG interface it's quite easy to install and exclude objects, especially Coors Field, as it's a default object. Bernard

Because such things wouldn't be possible with any other sim. Bernard

You're absolutely right. Let vehicles driving as AI need flattened terrains. In some way that also is the case for ships. Water surfaces might be flat in coastal areas, but as more you will go away, the sea could be quite wavy. I did this experience along Long Island coast. Bernard

Sometimes it also would challenging to let move other kinds of "stearable" objects than aircraft. Here some of them: The bald eagle flying around Mt. Rushmore Hot air balloons (are only shown while using an other AI ...) Alvis Stalwart does trips at Antarctica between McMurdo airfield and base A French Citroen Deux Cheveaux travels between the city of Bordeaux and its airport Merignac. On the way there, it drives through a gasoil station. Such little addons like this above can sometimes be very tedious, but the final satisfaction is all the greater. And which other flight simulators offer so many possibilities to create oneself all kind of scenes? So let us be proud while having fun with what we do for and with FS9. Bernard

The same question again: where has Erwin Welker's Calypso boat gone? Bernard

Who says that? Bernard

Does anyone still have Jacques Cousteau's Calypso ship in his flightsim? Thanks for any advice. Bernard
