  1. I agree with you. FS9 is still my favorite, even 20 years later. With today's new hardware and graphics, it's rock solid, runs flawlessly, and can look absolutely beautiful. Even if you are only using freeware, it can still look absolutely amazing! Long live FS9!
  2. OOOooooooh YESSSSS!!!! These are absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
  3. Good morning Mark! SO... Yes he helped me get started on the right path (and a HUGE thank you to Avechelice). Unfortunately right about that same time, real-life threw a TON of issues my way regarding work and family needs, and I literally have not have a moment to try his advice. I just logged in here to look for a file before I start, and decided to check the Forum also. LOL So, with that said, I will update you all shortly I hope with excellent news of success. Fingers crossed! :cool::D -Glenn
  4. FS2004 runs as beautifully and smoothly as ever before. And with all of the visual texture advances in add-ons such as the environments, weather, landscapes, etc., it can look absolutely stunning. I still completely enjoy flying it. :cool: -Glenn
  5. Hello Avechelice, I cleaned out my Inbox. (embarrassing) I've been working insane hours and haven't had a moment to get back here to check-in. Flightsim sent me a notice saying you were reaching out to me. I'm all ears now :) -Glenn
  6. Hello friends, I'm completely reinstalling all of my FS9 addons into a brand-new, Lenovo Legion5 laptop. I wanted to install my beloved REX2004 textures, but when I tried to do this, I am greeted with an error message (basically) saying the license cannot be verified because the store no longer exists. I researched a little through my old email files, found an address for Tim Fuchs, and emailed him requesting help with retrieving the software license. I provided all information from the original purchase. So far, I've not gotten a response. Does anyone else know of a method of contacting someone, or retrieving my license so I can get this REX item installed. The new laptop is a present for my father, who is 75 yrs old and really enjoys flying flightsimulator FS2004 and FSX. I do not know what else to do at this point. Thank you so much in advance for any advice or assistance anyone might be able to provide. (Admin) If this is the wrong place to post this question, please move it to the appropriate forum. Sincerely, Glenn Mullis
  7. Roger Wensley makes amazing scenery for sure. His stuff is always a delight to fly in & out of in FS2004. :):cool:
  8. Darryl, I am almost speechless. WOW!! Beautiful pictures of a stunning flight. -Glenn
  9. Abel, these pictures are absolutely stunning! Really beautiful work sir. :cool: -Glenn
  10. Great job on this post Michael. :cool: Jan is still alive and doing well. I'm Facebook friends with him & Bianca. I haven't been around here either for a long long time because I have had my computer system issues fixed until recently, and my real-world job demands almost ALL of my time. (sadly not joking) I know Jan will enjoy this post when he sees it. :D -Glenn
  11. :cool: Absolutely gorgeous screenshots! -Glenn
  12. Thank you Doug for the advice. This possibility never occurred to me. My Legion 5 laptop shipped with a 500GB M.2 drive. MSFS2020 was initially installed on that C drive along with the OS, because my whole intent was to see if the Legion would run the new sim. I quickly realized this original drive would never be enough to hold the new sim, not to mention my other sims. So I ordered an additional 1TB M.2 drive and upgraded the RAM to 32GB. I used the Microsoft option offered to "move" MSFS2020 to the 2nd drive. It said everything was successful, and everything has been working perfectly through several of the MSFS2020 updates. Then a week after the last update, I suddenly had no hat switch in FSX. When I installed FSX, it was also installed to the 2nd larger drive. Maybe you are right. I probably need to format everything (to be safe) and start with a fresh install of everything. I created a special USB before using the laptop to restore it to factory status like it arrived. I think I may be looking at a complete reboot. At least then I can select the larger drive properly, which would've been the ideal location the first time. Thank you Doug. This might fix it. :cool:
  13. :mad::confused::( So... I spoke too soon. Apparently the joystick only works for a few minutes correctly, even when plugged directly into the computer/laptop. I went to pan around the view to start my taxi sequence to the runway... and instantly I had the same issue as before. It will not pan around. It only moves forward/backward and raise seat view up/down. At this point I am just like... I don't know what to do.
  14. Well... guys, I have to report that I AM truly an idiot. :rolleyes:Geeeezzz. I just figured out what the answer was to my problem. I still don't know WHY it's causing it, but I figured out how to stop it. I've used a USB control hub for many, many years to plug all of my flight control units into, thereby freeing up most of my onboard USB slots on the computer, or laptop. This method has always worked great. However, it just occurred to me that I hadn't checked that possibility yet that the hub might be a conflict issue maybe?? I unplugged my joystick, and plugged it directly into one of my laptop USB ports. Instant success! :D The Hat switch is working correctly again in FSX. :(Wow. I feel like such an idiot. LOL Maybe if anyone else ever has this issue they will see this post sometime, and be able to fix their problem too like I did. I hope you all have a great day, and maybe this made you chuckle. I'm glad I figured it out. Now I can go enjoy some much needed flying time! :pilot: Have a wonderful Sunday everybody! -Glenn
  15. Hello my friends. It's Glenn. I need some help with a VERY frustrating joystick issue I've been fighting for weeks. I recently bought a new laptop (see specs) and installed the new MSFS2020. Everything looks amazing. Then I installed my Steam-Edition FSX, Orbx, Rex, etc. I've never seen FSX look so awesome in my life - WOW!!! Everything was great @ very high-end settings! Initially. Then suddenly for the 1st time since buying it over a decade ago, my trusty Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick malfunctioned. I no longer can use the Hat Switch to "Pan" around in views. It ONLY moved forwards/backwards and zooms rapidly IN & OUT. Only IF you are lucky in the moment, and can hit a 45* angle just right will it sometimes pan around, but at the wrong angle and direction. I never touched the control menu in FSX prior to the malfunction. I have researched, tried/re-tried clearing/assigning views, etc. through the FSX controls menu interface, and I downloaded the Logitech software in hopes this would fix it too. So far, nothing is working to restore my Panning ability in FSX. However... in using MSFS2020, the joystick performs perfectly as it should. ??????? Also, my CH-Products Flight Yoke still works perfectly in Panning mode as well. To further test things, I borrowed my dad's Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. Exact same results. No Panning ability. When trying to assign the movement in the control setting menu, the window remains blank with an audio beep when pressing the Hat Switch on the joystick... but nothing shows up in the window as a selected control. It works perfectly on his FSX at his house. What in the world has happened??? Has anyone else ever experienced this issue, and how did you fix it? I would really appreciate any advice and help. I hate to bother anyone, but I am out of ideas here. -tired and confused.. Glenn
