Yes sir, I sure do.

Tim, Just ran it. Can't say it made any difference at all. I select the "lock" in AFCAD and I never have a crosshair that slews around with my aircraft in the sim. AFCAD opens the airport right to the ref/identifier "plus sign".

Hello folks, Using a WIN10 gaming rig, I am trying to lock AFCAD to the sim so I can add parking spots to numerous airports. I start the sim, select the airport and aircraft, go to top down view, slew, etc., but I do not have my plane locked to AFCAD with a crosshair. I also try hitting "O" to add a spot, but nothing shows up in AFCAD. I do have the freeware FSUIPC from 2013. Am I missing a step? Any suggestions greatly appreciated! :) Many thanks, Neil edit: yes, I select "lock to flight sim" in AFCAD as well.

Brian (or anyone), Also curious about this statement: "If using multiple codes on a single spot each code should divided by a comma as these examples FDX,UPS or FDX, UPS" Are you referencing the actual parking spots in the "Parking Codes" section? I can enter commas all day long and save, but when I reopen the parking spot for editing, they are no longer there. Thanks, Neil

Interesting thread. I have this problem with 3 FSDT Airports (KORD/KLAX/KFLL), where not everyone behaves and parks in the correct spots. Every other add-on airport (lots) park perfectly. Posts here give me some things to examine. Thank you all, Neil

"How many 737s and A320s do we need?" Agree, but I do wish that someone with talent and motivation would provide some North American post-merger AI liveries for the -37's and A318/19/20's. Continental/United, USAir/American, NW/Delta, etc. Heck, if I'm dreaming, all AI models that are relevant to these mergers. I'd love to completely modernize my North American fleet, but the options are very limited. I have money....I'd pay! Neil

Thanks Chuck, Not new to this, so always install my simulators into a drive specific folder. Beats me, not sure what else to do other than scrap it. Very unfortunate. Also can't find any link for the payware PMDG 747 for FS9, so I'll take my toys and go home with my tail between my legs :p

Thanks gents, I have had this one plugged in since back in the early days of FS9: [OLDMODULES] FSSound.dll=1 I will certainly check out the other links and report back on my successes or failure. Hopefully the former. Very much appreciated, Neil edit: interesting Tim, the link you provided states: On a 64bit version of Windows, the default folder for 32bit DLL-files is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ , and for 64bit dll-files C:\Windows\System32\ . I assume they have it backwards?? Edit 2: No luck, I already have these dll files in both folders. Even went as far as backing them up, and installing the ones from the site, still crashes. maybe just not meant to be. Can I find PMDG's version for FS9 is now the question.

Hello, I was just introduced to an old but great 747 from iFly, in the library here. I downloaded it, ran the installer, and added 3 updates/patches I found on the other site. I can see the Aircraft in the selection window when in FS9, I can assign it when creating a new flight, but when I try to start the new flight, FS9 crashes to desktop, and restarts. Same result when I am in a flight and want to swap into the iFly 747. I am running a WIN 10 gaming machine. Is there may have missed from a download or install perspective? Looks normal in my aircraft folder when examining the "iFly 747-400" folder. Any other users experience this at any point? Thanks in advance for any advice. Best, Neil

Tim, Thanks very much for the heads up on the 747. I downloaded it, installed it..and it crashes my FS9 when I try to start a flight with it. I'll muddle my way through that part. Neil

Damn, is there a 747 like that for FS9/FS2004? Loved it. Closest thing I've seen to my Level-D 767. Neil

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully one day when I have more time to learn, practice, repeat. :)

AI - Wish I knew how to paint because it would be nice to revamp all the big USA based airlines, and the many visitors from abroad, to modern dress. Neil

Hello, Many years back, I had a replacement file that darkened the default interior color to a more natural and realistic color. I have searched a few sites and can't seem to find it. Does anyone here know where this file may exist, or do you have it and willing to pass it along? Thanks much, Neil

I have it carried over onto my WIN 10 machine, but only use the AS Graphics GUI to swap in sky/cloud textures based on weather data I download through ASE. Neil

Haven't actually tried that. I may fly a little more "vanilla" than you, and haven't used external power in years. That said, I'll try it next time I fire it up and see what happens. Neil

I don't remember where I downloaded it from - may have been a link provided within the LD forum?? I run in Full Screen mode. Never have run Windowed mode under any OS since FS2004 was released. Neil

My post, so I'll reply - I downloaded the XML thing and all of my SIDS/STARS work just fine now. No other WIN10 issues to report - LD767 runs exactly as it did for me on WIN7. Neil

GKKnupper, That is a fabulous offer, but the issue is it's quite a few of my AI models that do this, and not sure you want me to send you buckets of planes. I have to admit, I just re-read your post above, and am not understanding most of what you are explaining I need to do. To confirm - whatever your instructions, this will stop the excessive roll when taking the runway before an AI plans stops, then starts the true takeoff roll? Neil

Thank you sir, I can certainly take a good look at that approach. A lot of my commercial airliner AI planes do this, so it could be a big feat, but worth it in the end if it helps improve the issue. Appreciate your reply! Neil

Good day, It's been years since I last thought about addressing this, and am not keying in the right search criteria. Would anyone be kind enough to explain what properties define how long a plane rolls until stopping, then starting the takeoff roll after clearance? Some planes roll ridiculously long before the unrealistic stop, then punch out. Is this something one can edit to shorten the length? Thanks very much, Neil

I've tried quite a few add-on's, and yes this was one of them - maybe "Aquarama", if I recall? Neil

Thank guys for the advice. I'll try both methods - the effects files, and the slider. It wasn't the beach edges, it's the open water effect I loathe. Again, thanks very much. :) Neil edit: the effects files being renamed and deleted did nothing. The slider did the trick. Thanks very much!

Good evening, Years ago I removed the annoying undulating water effect based on information provided back at that time by other users. I'd like to rid myself of the headache inducing animated wave effect again, but can't recall how to do this. Any information or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, Neil

I see grass vs. snow. I don't see snow covered trees. No winter textures at night. Neil
