  1. I think you can just disable the problematic scenery in the settings and it'd be fine.
  2. Interesting... I've never had OOM issues with FS2004, with no enhancement patches (eg extended RAM caps) added... Hope you'll get the issue fixed.
  3. Great to see new addons are being made to sims this old! Would you upload it to the File Library?
  4. I wonder how TDS did the 'protection' that makes the aircraft disappear when you change any of the 'don't change' bits if there isn't AFAIK, any executable code inside the aircraft cfg and air files? Also, agreed on the addon aircraft should have its real life manufacturer as its ui manufacturer, its much easier to search for the aircraft you want if you have lots of aircraft/lots of aircraft from the same developer.
  5. Looking at your specs, your CPU is quite underpowered for FSX (RAM and GPU is fine though), if you wanna do FSX, you probably need to set your settings to low or tune it to your likings. Yeah, you probably better served with FS9.
  6. Yes, FSX Steam is the best version of FSX you can get right now with FSX Gold features and some improvements for modern systems. But keep in mind that some addons designed for FSX Gold won't work well/doesn't work with FSX Steam, FS Recorder 2.x is one, which just crashes FSX Steam on startup with it just refuses the current version of FSX (simconnect to be exact). For that, you've to use FS Recorder v1.331, but even that has warnings for incompatibility at startup.
  7. If you installed Mytraffic 2006, look for files called 'MyTraffic-unvis.bat' and 'MyTraffic-vis.bat' inside your Aircraft of your FS2004 installation, these batch files would allow you to hide and show the Mytraffic aircraft respectively.
  8. Looks like the installer did something with fs9.cfg to make the default flight to be the concorde one. For me, I'd install the addon into a clean sandbox (i use sandboxie), and then zipped the files into an archive that i can install without an installer. That way, i can install the addon without the reliance of installers and the related registry/miscellaneous stuff and also makes the addon files smaller by zipping them in a better compression algorithm (rar and 7z are my favorites, i use either one of them depending on the situation)
  9. I'm not sure about this, but it depends on whether the texture developer wants to implement the shiny thing into their textures. I vaguely remember that the American Airlines DC-10 livery provided by HJG has the shiny thing built in, so yes, it is possible.
  10. I'd imagine there isn't much performance penalty on storage if the USB flash drive's flash chip is fast enough to sustain FS9's data transfers.
  11. Kinda related, how to measure the 1% and .1% FPS lows of FS2004? The only program that works with FS2004 is Fraps, which's only did the minimum. And this will measure exactly how much stutter you got.
  12. I think we have a record here for the youngest FS2004 flight simmers... Although I'm not too deviated from that age either...
  13. As everyone here may or may not know, tooltips in FS9 are set by Windows' desktop settings in windowed mode, and resized according to your resolution in fullscreen mode. Tooltips in windowed mode: Tooltips in fullscreen mode: But sometimes the tooltips' text might be too long to fit in the screen, causing the text to chopped off like in HJG DC-10 panel's vertical speed selection roller. I wonder can you change the text's size without changing the resolution in fullscreen mode?
  14. Agreed. Planes like the HJG DC-10 and DC-8 is one of the best freewares you can get out there for FS2004
  15. I remember a FS9 stock DC3 with Santaair livery modded with turboprops does exist in the file library. Dont sure about it is now. Also, if you're adventurous enough to edit FS9 aircraft extensively, here's some discussion of how to modify an aircraft .cfg/.air files to accept a different engine type: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?219130-How-do-you-change-the-engine-type-of-an-existing-aircraft-and-modify-the-air-file And i found the file now: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=search&fsec=0&fname=dc3turb.zip
