    Gi'day, You have mail. Regards, Dorian
  2. Gi'day, The F1_view.dll was a niffty tool ... when it was first released. But it came with the following proviso: "There may be instances where you may not want to use F1_view if it conflicts with another component that you may have installed. Note: When using F1_view, and the center mouse wheel is being used, you may need to hold the cursor away from a gauge that accepts mouse inputs, as the center wheel may fire off a gauge action." Therefore you will lose"... mouse-based zooming, panning, and eyepoint adjustments, including the ability to move your eyepoint beyond the limits imposed by Flight Simulator (this feature is good to stroll about virtual cabins of larger aircraft)." When I moved exclusively to VC panel useage it was, sadly, one of the first items I had to let go. Regards, Dorian
  3. Gi'day, You're not using the F1_view.dll are you? If so, there's the issue. Regards, Dorian
  4. Gi'day, It works. Re: your Win 11 laptop install: it will work, you must install the NoCD. Regards, Dorian

    AIR files

    Gi'day John, Just quoting from Bob Chicilo's Readme: " This is a good copy of AirEd by William M. Roth. I have noticed that other versions of this utility are missing things. Like in primary aerodynamics under lift, there should be 8 records, not 6 ... This upload is done because I think there are people out there who are trying to make money from the simulator community who have used their knowledge to make it harder for the average person to produce an aircraft that flys well. They do this in part by corrupting the original work of the AirEd author. Been using this (1.52) version since its 2009 (FSX) release and have experienced no problems either. YMMV, of course. Regards, Dorian

    Gi'day, Look for "godaired.zip", an " uncorrupted version" of William Roth's original tool; complied by Bob Chicilo . Regards, Dorian
  7. You know, the most important tool in this forum is the "Ignore" button ... haters can hate as much as they like and you never get to see them spouting their vitriol (unless someone quotes them in a later post). Thanks Flightsim.com for such a valuable tool. Very much appreciated.
  8. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Jim. Dorian
  9. I too would be most interested in a detailed step-by-step guide for d/ling and activating said NOAA METAR. I've tried in the past, but must be missing an important step (or three) ... Regards, Dorian
  10. Gi'day Mark, Unpluged headphones ... yes. Don't have computer speakers so there's nothing to plug in (haven't owned any since 2005-6). Have lived under headphones since my ABC radio producer days back in the late 60s. Regards, Dorian
  11. Gi'day, Took the path of least resistance and re-installed Windows 11 (hey, it has worked flawleslly since 2018). Have just now started a plain vanilla reinstall of FS9.1, and, so far, no sound problem(s). Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. Regards, Dorian
  12. Great to see others have no problems. However, there is some gremlin at malicious play on my rig. @ Tom: Yep. First thing I looked at. Unfortunately, no go. Thanx though (I know how easy it is to accidently mash the Q key. ) @JSMR: Am seriously giving consideration to reinstalling Win10 (an OS I never ever had any problems with). Regards, Dorian
  13. Just wondering if it's me, but as of April 10, something has radically altered my FS9 install ... primarily, I now have NO sound (ATC/Environment/Aircraft et al). Currently am using Realtek HD Audio drivers (v6.0.8703.1) which were working fine on April 9; however, went to continue the flight next day ... and nada, no sound. In my Windows 11 Sound System Control panel I have: - Realtek HD Audio 2nd Output (I use headphones) set as my default Sound Device formatted to - 2 Channels, 24bit, 48000Hz Studio Quality - Level set at: 33 (Left: 33, Right: 33) - Audio Enhancements: Off and - Spatial Audio: Off In the Windows 11 Control Panel/Sound I have disabled Exclusive Mode and Under Communications: Do Nothing. I have only now just finished rolling Win 11 back to a 04.04.2023 Restore Point and let it do it's thing. Curiously enough, I now have sound for FS9. So, has anyone else (who also uses Windows 11) experienced any FS9 sound anomalies within the last week? Should also mention this happened at least a day or so before the latest Windows 11 update released this morning (12.04.2023). Regards, Dorian

    FS9 and Linux

    Could try reading this thread over on Avsim: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/596952-install-fs2004-on-ubuntu-it-works-heres-how-to-do-it/ Regards, Dorian
  15. Gi'day beroun, Alternately, go to the far right of the top (banner) menu, click on Browse, once loaded, scroll on down until you get to the Forums menu. Regards, Dorian
  16. Compliments of the Season to One & All. Regards, Dorian
  17. Gi'day Jon, Okay, now you need to: - Download the FS9.1 Update. - Install the update. - Personally, at this point, I prefer to reboot. - Download the FS9.1 NoCD. - Install the FS9.1 NoCD. - Reboot. - Download the 4Gb Patch. - Install the 4Gb Patch (store the FS9.1 NoCD backup somewhere safe, just in case ...) - Double click the Desktop Icon. - Set up FS9 to your specifications. - Enjoy. Regards, Dorian
  18. That's simple ... Piper J3 Cub (with tundra tires). ;) Regards, Dorian
  19. Gi'day HardCub, Be interested to hear what reply you get. I also tried to reinstall REX2004 recently and face exactly the same situation. I am still awaiting a reply from the REX helpdesk, but after 2+ months I'm beginning to feel a tad disappointed in the lack of any assistance (be nice to just receive a reply saying "sorry ... no can help". Please keep us informed on how you get on.
  20. Just an FYI: https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/living-crystals-of-the-bitter-waters/
  21. Gi'day Hans, Warning bells just went off upon reading your last post. Just wondering if any of your addon airports happen to be using any Sidney Schwartz static objects. If they do, it might be that some objects may need texture replacement as outlined by Sidney in his "FS2004 Texture Update 1 For SS Scenery" pack. Just a thought. Good hunting. Regards, Dorian
  22. Gi'day, You're welcome. Regards, Dorian
  23. You have mail. Regards, Dorian
  24. Gi'day Jerry, Just FYI, CFS2 works Jim Dandy on Win10; you just need to run it with the patch (which cannot be named) to circumvent the DR (Digital Rights) issue. Only downside I found was the screen resolution ... hideous (16 bit rather than 32). Blargh! Regards, Dorian
