  1. I don't know if this applies to FSX, but in FS2004 the only time I have run out of memory is when there has been a landclass file in a scenery folder. Landclass scenery .bgl files need to be in their own folder (eg landclass/scenery) and that folder should not have a texture folder in it. I hope this helps, rather than adding to the confusion!

  3. I agree with "jgf" FSUIPC and FSNavigator 4.7, then the world is your lobster! Then a enormous variety of aircraft and scenery, much of it freeware, some 20 years' worth, which keeps me flying FS9. I recommend the turbo-props by Rick Piper. MSFS has some catching up to do here!
  4. I'm afraid I have to agree with most of what has been said on this topic. It is not as easy as it was on the old site to find particular files. Even in "Latest Files" it is not always clear which simulator a particular download is for. The things that made flightsim.com stand out from other websites was the ease of finding your way about and its clarity, two things that the new site is yet to replicate.
  5. I always load Previous Flight so that I start from where I left off. Then before actually flying I might change aircraft, weather and time/date. Am I missing something?
  6. Just a thought, before I adjust the pictures on my uploads. On your new website the pictures are square whereas on the old website they were rectangular, landscape. Considering the shape of most aircraft, is square a good idea? A minor point.
  7. Which version of FS are you using? In FS9 or FSX a crash at a particular location may be due to Land Class files in your scenery folders. Land Class files (often including LC in the file name) must not be in the same folder as other scenery and any folder which has LC files must not have a texture folder in the same folder. If its not that it may be a problem with AI traffic. This is a more tedious problem to solve, finding the offending flights by gradually removing and/or editing traffic files.

  10. If, on a real flight, even in 'cattle class', you have a video screen in front of you and can watch a moving map, you will see the non-straight route that your flight follows. (maybe not available on short haul routes)
  11. You can place any scenery with ADE, it doesn't have to be an airfield. And you can take a screenshot from Google Earth and use it as a background to place objects accurately. Then just save the compiled scenery with its textures (if necessary) in AddOn Scenery or in its own folder if you add that folder to your scenery.cfg. The background doesn't show in the sim, but there are ways around that too.
  12. I'm sure I have said this before somewhere in this forum, but it's worth saying again in this context. The freeware builders of both aircraft and scenery have turned FS2004 into, I think, much more than MS ever imagined when they first put the software together. Many thanks to them all.

    FS2004 Scenery--SBSJ Sao Jose dos Campos. Approximately 35 nm east of Sao Paulo and 147 nm west of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sao Jose dos Campos currently (May 2022) has no scheduled flights, but it is the home of Embraer S.A. where approximately 200 commercial aircraft are built each year. Scenery built using Gmax, Static Aircraft Model Maker and Airport Design Editor. By Alan Merry.
  15. Thanks to the many, mostly freeware, aircraft available, I tend to fly quite a variety. Most frequently the B747-400 for long haul by Project Open Sky (with a considerably modified panel), Project Airbus for shorter trips by A320 and ATR72 for shortest trips (by Francisco Sánchez-Castañer or the payware by Virtualcol). Not quite so regularly I fly the excellent freeware VC10 or Trident by David Maltby or Rick Piper's Viscount. The different flying characteristics together with a large amount of scenery, keeps FS9 full of interest. I rarely use FMC. I do use ATC, but I wish they would get their act together so that I don't land less than a thosand metres behind another aircraft. (Go-around ?? !!)
