  1. Sorry for bumping my older thread, but has anyone come across a valid registration code for Wetter 2000 v1.7? I've come up empty searching for one, really a shame that the author is no where to be found... I'd GLADLY pay to register the program.
  2. This is kind of morbid (?), but I've recently been doing something similar after binge watching old episodes of "Air Disasters" on the Smithsonian Channel. After watching a specific notable episode I'll fire up Flight Simulator for a look at the area of the crash, destination airport, and intended flight plan. Quite interesting to see the landscape of the areas in question. Note that I'm STILL running FS2000 Pro, but it's landscape and airports are detailed enough to really get bird's eye view of the areas and situations of the episodes.

    This is a panel for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Professional for the Mooney Bravo that includes a togglable ADF indicator. The ADF indicator is positioned over the VOR 1 indicator when it is toggled and displayed, and the radio stack includes an additional navigation radio to set the frequency of the ADF indicator (similar to the Mooney Bravo IFR panel's radio stack). Also included is a "Minicontrols" subpanel, like the one included with the all of the aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. The new panel can be accessed within Flight Simulator 2000 Professional by selecting the "Mooney Bravo ADF" aircraft. The various subpanels and the togglable ADF indicator for the aircraft are selected in the usual manner by using the following keyboard hotkeys: SHIFT+1 = Main Panel SHIFT+2 = ADF Indicator SHIFT+3 = Radio Stack SHIFT+4 = GPS SHIFT+5 = Annunciator SHIFT+6 = Overhead Panel SHIFT+7 = Compass SHIFT+8 = Minicontrols ...or by selecting them using the "Views/Instrument Panel" menu. To install, simply unzip the archive to the "FS2000\AIRCRAFT\MOONEY_BRAVO" subdirectory on your hard drive overwriting the existing "Aircraft.cfg" file (a backup of the original file is included in the archive, "Aircraft.ori"), maintaining the directory structure within the archive.

  5. (Sorry for the forum cross-posting, but it's relevant to FS2000 and FS2002) Would anyone have the installer (or know of a working download link) for the shareware version of SimFlyers Washington Dulles (KIAD) scenery for Flight Simulator 2000? Unfortunately the links at Archive.org are dead: https://web.archive.org/web/20100210161804/http://www.simflyers.net/dlkiad.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20100210161804/http://www.simflyers.net/files/kiad/FS2000/sf-kiad2002.zip Downloads for SimFlyers other sceneries at Archive.org still work, only the one for KIAD is broken. This is the description from the web page at Archive.org: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FS2000 only. This is an older scenery package. It is FS2000/FS2002 compatible, however please use it for FS2000 installation only. Main Scenery - sf-kiad2002.zip - 12.5 MB -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- So, note that even though the filename contains "2002", it's for FS2000 BTW, I noticed that here in the FlightSim.com FS2000 file libraries all of the SimFlyers scenery packs are available for download... all of them EXCEPT for KIAD. For example, SimFlyers sfklax02.zip and sf-kmco.zip for FS2000 are here at FlightSim.com, but unfortunately nothing for KIAD. Anyhow, would anyone happen to have the installer for KIAD, or know of a working download link for the installer?

  7. I REALLY wish that one could still purchase a registration code for this utility! Unfortunately the author is no where to be found, and the original web site for the utility is long-since gone Would be GREAT if someone had a registration code that they could share for this no-longer supported utility.
  8. Many thanks for the info Yeah, I wasn't sure which of the previous versions of MSFS had that 'feature'. I know that FS3-FS95 did, but I wasn't sure about FS98. Sounds like that MS removed it from FS98-FS2000, but may have re-added it to FS2002/CFS2.
  9. I've tried it with most of the default aircraft that come with FS2000 Pro and none of them do it... quite strange. I don't think that a floatplane wouldn't 'splash-crash' into the water, it would simply land on it. All of the aircraft in CFS2 (the default ones, as well as third-party) will make a splash sound when touching down on water, slowly start to sink, and then result in an aircraft crash.
  10. (Sorry for the forum cross-posting, but it's relevant here as well) Does Flight Simulator 2000/Pro support splashing in the water when attempting to land/taxi in it (like previous versions of MSFS)? I know that in the previous versions that if you tried to land on the various large bodies water (or taxi into it) the aircraft would make a splashing sound, resulting in sinking into the water and a crash. I THINK that this also works in FS2002 (which I don't have), as in Combat Flight Simulator 2 (which I do have) it indeed does function.

    This scenery file (M5244271.bgl) fixes a problem in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 where the ground at Catalina Airport (KAVX) is not solid. The elevation of the island and airport is 1,601 feet, but attempting to land or takeoff from the airport results in sinking into the island all the way down to sea level. The scenery file contains several flatten polygons that fix the errors with the existing polygons in the default scenery. Simply copy the files included in the archive to the "FS2000\SceneDB\WestHem\USSW\Scenery" directory on your hard drive. Also included in the archive is a backup of the original scenery file (M5244271.ori), as well as a backup of the fixed scenery file (M5244271.new).

    (Note: This file is uploaded here for preservation, as it is impossible to find this version for FS2000 anywhere on the internet) Active Camera for FS2000 v1.1 ============================== (c) 2002, Andy Newman and Serge Baye DESCRIPTION OF THE MODULE ------------------------- With this module you can enable a "fly by" view in Microsoft FS 2000. INSTALLATION ----------- - Simply copy "ActiveCamera FS2000.dll" into the FS2000 modules folder. - You can enable a "fly by view" by selecting it from the Options menu. - When activated this module replace the original tower view of FS 2000. - Within the dialog box you can define the duration in seconds and the virtual camera relative altitude to the airplane (in feets, negative values are OK). - You can also select the placement of the camera : always right, always left or random. - New feature : the camera can do a travelling around the airplane. - You can now define the distance of the camera relative to the airplane.

    This scenery is a little creation of mine for Flight Simulator 2000, a loose recreation of "Crystal River Plaza" directly across from the Crystal River Airport (X31) in Crystal River Florida. It's really neat to see the planes skimming the rooftops of the buildings of the parking lot of the shopping center that are approaching for a landing on runway 9 at X31 while waiting for your Domino's Pizza order in the real-world location
  15. One option is to search for local airport METARs at https://www.aviationweather.gov/metar/data (or https://www.aviationweather.gov/metar/board if your simply wanting some extreme weather to fly in), copy and pasting a specific METAR into an online decoder (such as https://e6bx.com/metar-decoder ), and then manually setting up the weather from the decoded METAR directly into the various weather settings as global weather within Flight Simulator. Of course, needless to say, this method is a PITA. I really wish that I could find a valid reg code for Wetter 2000 v1.7, I think that it would work fairly nicely for setting up multiple local weather areas in Flight Simulator.
