Gi'day Alan, BFU was established in July 2001 based upon the Flight Unlimited III simulator (pilots operated out of its Renton FBO throughout Washington State). Peter Ridge was instrumental in getting the group up and running on Avsim, securing the two forums and a BFU web site. With the environmental advances of autogen and water effects introduced in FS2002 it was decided by its members that BFU should became an open sim venture ... meaning pilots could fly either FUIII, FS2002 or Fly!2. And, just like Topsy ... it grewed :) Regards, Dorian

And there's your problem! For a detailed explanation why these three setting values should be considered bogus see: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/261948-blurry-in-the-distance/, particularly Kosta's posts (but most especially #11 which offers Kosta's partial translation of Joachim Buhre's findings in detail). Regards, Dorian

Simply use the link(s) provided on the original (untranslated) page to download ... no problems that way. Regards, Dorian

Anyone using, or have experience with, this piece of VR software? Enquiring minds an' all. Regards, Dorian

Don Grovestine's GeoLock utility available from : http://stuff4fs.com/open.asp?JS=TRUE may be of some use. Regards, Dorian

See: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?333879-Install-Reinstall-steps-FSX-boxed-edition-(Gold) especially post #6 for the Registry edit. Regards, Dorian

Gi'day Peter, https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?334281-Windows-11&highlight=windows Appears to be no trouble running FS9. Regards, Dorian

Gi'day Alan, You haven't, by chance, installed the FS9 ATC SDK recently? If so, then read: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/warning-installing-fs9-atc-sdk-prevents-any-bgl-compilation.442267/ If not, then simply disregard. Regards, Dorian

SceneGenX was authored by Tom Hiscox (he also co-authored Airport For Windows v3.0). Regards, Dorian

Emma Field. Regards, Dorian

Thanx Chris, have already tried that. Appears the WayBack Machine doesn't include downloads in its capture(s) ... (well at least not on the dates I chose and there are just way too many to select from). Regards, Dorian

Does anyone know where to find FS-Shipyard these days? More specifically, downloads. The link I have takes me to a forum page only, but no downloads. I read that Francois (FSAddon) took over hosting the Shipyard site after Ian Thatcher's passing in 2010, but now 12 years on, it all seems to have vanished into cyber space. Shame really as it was the one-stop go-to site for anything FS nautical. Enquiring minds would really like to know. Regards, Dorian

And a FS9 static library version as well ... Yeah, thanks, Tim. Regards, Dorian

Gi'day Bernard, by Bill Lyons? For FS5? There's a copy here in the Library. Regards, Dorian

Pure shabby chic! Regards, Dorian

I. Must. Refrain. From. Replying. Regards, Dorian

Gi'day Mark, Thanks for that detailed explanation. Without further information from the OP, it was assumed he had zealously/erroneously edited out the WV data (especially in reply #6 where he claims he changed "1) wing view config in aircraft panel config". Hence my re-posting the data to try and return things back to the de facto state. If, OTOH, WV's are a built-in feature (cool feature btw), maybe the OP simply needs to reread the panel manual to reorient himself with the relevant keyboard shortcuts. Just sayin'. Regards, Dorian

Errr ... No! The above values are only applicable to the payware MAAM Sim DC-3 panel.cfg and should not be taken as anything remotely approaching the values you need. I posted them to simply demonstrate what it was you should be looking for in your particular panel.cfg Really, in your case, the easiest thing to do would be to simply re-download the aircraft (HJG DC10-30) panel again and *copy* the specific View values from your new download to the panel you're having problems with. Then you have a backup copy of the original aircraft panel. And finally, let this be a valuable lesson in always backing up your files before doing any editing. EDIT: I have just downloaded the appropriate DC10-30 HJG panel and these are the values you need to use. Cut and paste them into your panel.cfg. *** [VIEWS] VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=0,10001,10002,10003,10004 VIEW_FORWARD_EYE=0.000, 0.000, 0.000 VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.000, 0.000, 0.000 VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_WINDOWS=31 VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_EYE=0.0 VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_DIR=1.0, 0.0, 45.0 VIEW_RIGHT_WINDOWS=32 VIEW_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_RIGHT_EYE=0.0 VIEW_RIGHT_DIR=1.0, 0.0, 90.0 VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_WINDOWS=33 //PASSENGERS PERSPECTIVE VIEW-RIGHT VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_EYE=3.3,0.0,-20.0 VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_DIR=12.0, 0.0, 110.0 VIEW_REAR_WINDOWS=34 //FIRST OFFICERS POSITION //VIEW_REAR_ZOOM=0.9 //VIEW_REAR_EYE=1.4,0.0,0.0 //VIEW_REAR_DIR=11.85,0.0,0.0 VIEW_REAR_LEFT_WINDOWS=35 //PASSENGERS PERSPECTIVE VIEW-LEFT VIEW_REAR_LEFT_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_REAR_LEFT_EYE=2.0,0.0,-35.0 VIEW_REAR_LEFT_DIR=10.0, 0.0, 275.0 VIEW_LEFT_WINDOWS=36 VIEW_LEFT_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_LEFT_EYE=0.0 VIEW_LEFT_DIR=1.0, 0.0, 270.0 VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_WINDOWS=37 VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_EYE=0.0 VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_DIR=1.0, 0.0, 315.0 VIEW_UP_WINDOWS=30 VIEW_UP_DIR=340.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** Regards, Dorian

Sorry MrZippy, FS9 doesn't do Camera Definition(s). Rather Views are formatted as per the following directly in the Panel .cfg (for example: this, from the payware MAAM Sim DC-3); for specific information refer: pp. 6-8, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 SDK, Building Panels & Gauges, 02.2004).

Gi'day defaid, You have mail. Regards, Dorian

Think Francois is still recovering from an operation back in Feb. Just sayin'. Regards, Dorian

Gi'day, Thanks Tim. Yeah, the penny dropped when I remembered the name was Short Final, not ShortFinal (which is a BIG difference when using search engines). Regards, Dorian

Gi'day, Yeah, I'd like to know where to look too (UserName: ShortFinal returns only 2 results - one being this particular thread - when using the Forum Search Function, and none when searching the Library). Curious minds would like to know ... Regards, Dorian

Gi'day, Am looking to download a copy of Lennart Arvidsson's FS9 textures (the 59Mb file). I had them once, many, many moons ago, but they're no where to be found in my archives. I did find a copy over at Simviation, but the download link appears to be inactive. Does anyone have an archived copy they could possibly send me? Flick me a PM if so. Many thanks in advance. Regards, Dorian
