  1. I want to say it has something to do with your fs9.cfg file. It's happened to me before but I forgot what I did to fix it. But..... Find your cfg and copy it somewhere, or zip it for safekeeping. Then delete the original and start fs9. FS9 will create a new one and you will have to reset your screen res and all that stuff, but see if that works. You probably know where the cfg is but if not, it would be something like this C:\Users\garyl\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9
  2. Interesting when Chris is not in a prop, lol. Nice shot. I've also always liked the window trim on the Air India liveries.
  3. I just searched the library for Curtiss, 309 files showed up, including the great Commando. Curtiss-Wright showed 7 files, but that's because most of the creators just referred to Curtiss alone. Either way the Condor and Commando are both fantastic.
  4. What type of aircraft? Commercial covers a lot. Big jets like the 737/A320, turboprops? VirtualCol has their ATRs for free and they have virtual cockpits. Remember this is FS2004, so as for freeware with VC, your options are somewhat limited with airliners. There are some quality airliners for $10-$20(US) available.
  5. I respect your opinion, but I wonder sometimes what sim(game) people are looking at. I have FS9, FSX:Steam, and X-Plane11 installed. Every couple months I grab Gamepass and check in on 2020. Eventually I will just plop down the cash and get it, but for now I am enjoying the other 3 for various reasons. But, none of those reasons are that they look better. Nothing looks as good as 2020. Even in its default no internet connection state, which I have tried, it is better looking than the others although a tricked out XP11 looks pretty good. I'm not sure why some folks are so annoyed(it seems to me)by the new sim. I think some just don't like the idea that they might be left behind. Which I don't get. When I fly in FS2004 it doesn't matter one bit if I'm the only one using it. End of the day I enjoyed the experience. I like the 757, 777, and 737-600, MSFS doesnt have them, yet. Well, the 600 is on the way and the 777 is the Captainsim(ugh). Nothing wrong with liking old stuff. My desktop is covered with shortcuts to games from GOG. But when something new comes along like MSFS, if you can run it, enjoy it. All the bickering is kinda goofy anyway. Game/Sim? When I use GTA3, it's not a game, its a 'Thug Simulator". Many of us, if not the majority(not sure of the demographic)are adults, sitting at a desk playing pretend plane fly guy. People know where to find us and we generally stay out of trouble. Enjoy.
  6. Also, here is a replacement carpet for the flight deck. A nice brown if the red assaults your eyes ifly74ca.zip
  7. From the library here, you only need the main file and SP3 fly74710.zip IFLY_SP3.ZIP I just installed those and it ran fine. SP3 actually contains everything you need as far as updates. The files from the other site may be messing it up. I do remember doing it like you did once and it didn't work right. I had lost all my FS9 files and was redownloading stuff and for whatever reason grabbed all the updates as opposed to just the main file and SP3.

    Curious

    I do, but only have my eye on a couple more, mainly the CLS DC10. Recently bought the JustFlight Seneca and the PSS/Black Box 757.
  9. Could this be it? From an old post: ------------------ In FS9.CFG: (MAIN) Location=188,662,836,1188(whatever numbers might be) Make it: (MAIN) Location=
  10. Nice. I always keep my eyes open for that FS2004 in a tin at antique/resale stores.
  11. Same here. Made port visits to Perth and Sydney in the late 80s.
