Have a look at Howard's TNW, https://biggles11.wixsite.com/the-natural-world

 

Worthy of a try.

 

And I have a couple of other FS9 installs with different ground textures

I also highly reccomend Howard's TNW

No problem here with MSFS map after 2h 10 min flight. VFR UI before flight is OFF.

People has developed sceneries for MSFS:

Nice pics.

The Cessna Caravan EC-IRV belongs to Institut Cartografic de Catalunya (Spain). Is an aerial photography aircraft as you can see the holes for the cameras in this picture.

The free addon "Lord of the landing" solves your problem:

Works in P3D V4.5

No problems here with a fresh install (in D: HDD), I don't use FSX.

The internal antialiasing works without Nvidia inspector and getting +100 fps.

The weather engine runs very, very fast.

Looks like MS boys are working and solving past mistakes

My PC

HP OMEN PC 880

i7-7700K 4.2GHz

32GB RAM

Nvidia 1080GTX

476 GB SSD

2x1.8 TB HDD

Your FS9 install points 1-4 is the same as a normal default install from the disks, it just takes longer (& more space) as you have to copy the contents of the Disks first.

I did that once, and this is as I keep FS9 installer in a HDD, it takes 1,87 Gb equal to discs and the installation is faster.

I had copied the discs to the HDD and could not mount them with the Win10 tool and did'n want to install Daemon.

No doubt of zswobbie1 solution. Maybe the allocation of the registry allows to run FS9 OK.

I have found a easy way to install FS9.

1- Create a new folder (where you want) and name it as you like.

Inside that folder create 4 folders an name them Disk1 to Disk4

2-Open each disk and copy the content in the corresponding Disk1 to Disk4 folders.

3- Go to Disk1 and execute installer. It installs the complete program without asking for the other disks.

4- Install SP1

For running FS9 in Win 10 you need to replace the FS9.exe with:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 V9.1 No-CD Patch (search in google)

Run as Admin. and in compatibility mode: Win XP SP3

Also with Nvidia cards, use Nvidia inspector and in: 1-COMPATIBILITY - Antialising compatibility, select 0x004412C1 (Diablo III). If not selected, Antialiasing adjustments won't work.
