[FSNavDBC issue (sort of... very frustrating....!!)]

Thanks for the info. Alastair and all. Today I treid to update the DBC and it also hung on Addon Scenery, a first for me, ever. Deleting the two files, scenery 000, and 001, did the trick. Completed the DBC in less than 5 minutes. I will remember this one. :wink:

[Some real pictures from Canada and Alaska (65 pics)]

Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of my trip up there.

65 photos huh. Sure went fast :wink:

[Opinions on FSNav and EZ-Landmark]

Ok. Now you have me thinking. With modern technology, GPS. Don't you think these days they are using a GPS, even in the Alaska Bush. I know what you mean by flying by the seat of your pants and would definately make it more interesting, but.

[Opinions on FSNav and EZ-Landmark]

Here is a screenshot of a FSNav plan from PANC to PAVD. It is one of the better jobs FSNav has done. I was impressed. In a 737, it actually went over the mountain tops, came down back over the airport somewhat, made a right turn to final and at almost the last minute lined up with the runway which in the sim, is pretty close to the mountain side. The plane was a litle high on final, but not much. I just let it run it's course to see what it would do, but, don't always trust it. :wink:

Feelthere, payware. What is 50N???? Not sure if I've heard of that one.

[Screen Shots?]

Thanks Paavo and everyone for their screenshots. Now if I can get those textures on a flyable 734.

[FS-time problem near Sitka]

UPdate: I flew the flight again where I had the time related problem and it seems to be ok now. This time I did NOT bring up the FSRealtime program at all.

[I know you must be tired of this...]

I believe that is part of the Northwest fault line. Can you say

" Earthquake " :wink:

Are you in the quality control section where you work LouP. 8)

[Screen Shots?]

What is the name of the 737 download with the salmon on it??

I HAVE to HAVE it. Thanks :)

[FS-time problem near Sitka]

For me, with this version, it only ran the banner once when you select something for the program to do. Like I mentioned, run it once, disconnect and try it out. Nothing to loose. It's still a little premature in my testing stage to give a definite answer.

[FS-time problem near Sitka]

I installed the new version and ran a fast test and it seems so far to work. I went to CYZF loaded FSrealtime. Connected. update once, then disconnected and minimized the program to task bar. Time will tell. If you have it update for whatever time, mintes scheduled etc., I think it will go through the process of scenery, textures etc, and that's what we don't want. Update it once and then disconnect and see if that works for you. So far so good. :)

[FS-time problem near Sitka]

I have had the time, scenery reload etc, for years now, and it seems to be only in the northern regions. Alaska is where I first noticed it, Anchorage to Valdez. And if you did a return trip it would do it again in reverse, but not always in the same location. While on a world tour, I also noticed it around the Ukraine and India, and again from Seattle to Yellowknife Canada. It's a PIA, and after hours of testing, I don't believe it's time zone related. Some peole have the problem, most do not. There is a download called REALTIME, and I ran that some time back a couple times and it seemed to fix the problem without having to run it again, until, I updated my pc a little with fresh intalls and the problem came back. I also heard that with the RealTime download the green banner would flash in your sim with commercials, I did not have that problem.

So. my conclusion is that it's an FS9 BUG.

EDIT: At Avsim, paste in this name under AUTHOR:

Joshua Robertson.

You will find two later versions than the one I have for Realtime.

Or, go here where you can read fully on the program and download it.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing. :)

[Small scenery problem]

Your most welcome. :)

[Small scenery problem]

I have two versions of PAKT from Alan Wright. Get this one>>

PAKTV2.zip.

ket2.bgl

ket2.xcl

ket2_exclude.bgl

ket.bgl

ket.xcl

ket_exclude.bgl

The PAKT_01.zip had only one bgl, and no excludes that I see.

Get version2 PAKTV2.zip

[Small scenery problem]

I will assume that the problem was not there before with the PAKT airport scenery. Here is a screenshot of mine.

I'm wondering if the exclude files are in your download. If they are, I would reinstall the PAKT scenery and see what happens.

There was some posting not too long ago about making a NEW PAKT. I still think about it at times but do not mention it because I know the people involved are busy. ( BC H ) :wink:

[The joys of a new PC...]

Excellent write Pup. You guys made my day. :D

[Gerrish Gray's Trees install]

There was really no short answer for this one. :wink:

[Gerrish Gray's Trees install]

Hang in there for a few. There is probably a way to get those back without reinstalling FS9, like deleting the FS9. cfg and letting it regenerate itself, BUT, DO NOT DO THAT!!!!!

Someone will come along with the correct answer.

When FS9 rebuilds itself, everything goes back to default settings etc.

You may just have to insert one of the FS9 discs to get those files. I have just seen this in writing, other than rebuilding FS9 cfg, I have not done anything else. Kind of rambling here.

Standby Steve. Someone will be along. :)

[Gerrish Gray's Trees install]

Well Steve, in the README, it says>>

Look for, and remove, scenery BGL's called trees_0.bgl and/or trees_02.bgl

Then it says>>>>

Then look for texture files called tree_*.bmp and conifer_*.bmp in all

..\texture folders. If, and only if, the names are in the following list of

65 textures, delete them, but be careful NOT to delete any textures with

similar names, but not actually in this list :-

- conifer_broad.bmp conifer_broad_hw.bmp

- conifer_canopy.bmp conifer_canopy_hw.bmp

- conifer_column.bmp conifer_column_hw.bmp

- conifer_conic.bmp conifer_conic_hw.bmp

- conifer_irreg.bmp conifer_irreg_hw.bmp

- conifer_oval.bmp conifer_oval_hw.bmp

- conifer_round.bmp conifer_round_hw.bmp

- conifer_vase.bmp conifer_vase_hw.bmp

- conifer_weep.bmp conifer_weep_hw.bmp

- tree_broad.bmp tree_broad_fa.bmp tree_broad_hw.bmp

tree_broad_sp.bmp tree_broad_wi.bmp

- tree_canopy.bmp tree_canopy_fa.bmp tree_canopy_hw.bmp

tree_canopy_sp.bmp tree_canopy_wi.bmp

- tree_column.bmp tree_column_fa.bmp tree_column_hw.bmp

tree_column_sp.bmp tree_column_wi.bmp

- tree_conic.bmp tree_conic_fa.bmp tree_conic_hw.bmp

tree_conic_sp.bmp tree_conic_wi.bmp

- tree_irreg.bmp tree_irreg_fa.bmp tree_irreg_hw.bmp

tree_irreg_sp.bmp tree_irreg_wi.bmp

- tree_oval.bmp tree_oval_fa.bmp tree_oval_hw.bmp

tree_oval_sp.bmp tree_oval_wi.bmp

- tree_palmate.bmp tree_pinnate.bmp

- tree_round.bmp tree_round_fa.bmp tree_round_hw.bmp

tree_round_sp.bmp tree_round_wi.bmp

- tree_vase.bmp tree_vase_fa.bmp tree_vase_hw.bmp

tree_vase_sp.bmp tree_vase_wi.bmp

- tree_weep.bmp tree_weep_fa.bmp tree_weep_hw.bmp

tree_weep_sp.bmp tree_weep_wi.bmp

Then it says>>

Unzip the contents of the file SCENERY.ZIP into your main \scenery

folder. This installs a single file called trees_0.bgl that contains all

the tree objects. The same file works correctly with either FS2000 or

FS2002. OR FS9<<< I added that.

Then it says>>

if you are using FS2002 unzip FS2002.ZIP

instead and put its contents in the main \texture folder. Either

will install the 65 tree_*.bmp and conifer_*.bmp files. The FS2000 versions

can actually be used with either Flight Simulator version, whereas the

improved FS2002 versions use the DirectX compressed DXT1 format and are not

compatible with the older FS2000. Incidentally, the newer textures not

only look better, they should also give a small improvement in frame rates.

If you have both 2000 and 2002, use 2002 files. Personally, I always make a temporary folder and manually put them in.

It's kind of time consuming looking for those files and deleting them if you find them. The first time I installed them, I had to double check myself. Some of the file names are very close and look alike. Doubel check yourself. You should make a backup folder of that folder and save it outside of FS9. Just in case. :wink:

[Customer NEEDS HELP !]

For item #3

On starting engines, make sure the two toggle switches on either side of the start switches are in the UP position.

I have always found if you use CTRL E to start engines, you have to synchronize the throttles by keystroke E, then 1 and 2 quickly.

I haven't used the speed brake, so I'm not sure on that one or the other problem with the , was it the GPS, I don't remember now, and I can't see the post while replying.

[SJ performance]

I had the same problem using auto pilot. Then I flew it manually and got her to get up to speed. It does seem a little off though for a jet. At altitude on auto pilot, it seems to take awhile to get to 300KIAS. I wonder if someone could look into the flight dynamics if they haven't already :wink: Seems to need a little tweaking. :)

[For ALL of you .... :-)]

I have it now. I did copy and paste under extended search, no go, so, I thumbed through the Utilities section and found it on page 25 of 40. Of course i had to look at all the goodies along the way, lol. :wink:

[For ALL of you .... :-)]

Thanks Heli, but I cannot find that file download at Avsim. I searched high and low. I did not look under utilities though.

It would be nice to have a program that would change the TMVL while the sim is running because there are a lot of sceneries now that are either 19, 20, or 21, and close to each other geographically speaking. I do not know if this is possible.

Have a good day. :)
