I encounter this problem fairly regularly when I first start an FS9 flight session. It is easily resolved, at least on my setup, by simply resetting the flight [ctrl +] or option under the flight menu. This issue is most prevalent at high altitude airports for me...

Hope this helps...

Can any active/former USAF MAC folks help me solve a question regarding the names or FS color callouts for the interior cargo spaces on MAC aircraft (C-130 / C-141 / C-5) utilized primarily in the 1980's and 1990's? From images on the internet the interior lower half appears a light to medium shade ...

FS2004 install from a portable CD along with the NOCD Patch works fine even to this very day on Windows 10 and 11. This install process does require a basic understanding of setting security criteria for the folder locations post install so add-on scenery installers can do so error free as well. It ...

Thanks for the reply Paul.

I have all of the info you have.

I ended up running through the fx in sim and collecting the characteristics and other data I wanted.

Your answers, from both of you, are sincerely appreciated and exactly the kind of - honest - guidance I was hoping for. I will stick to the tried and true - GMAX, FSDS, ADE - programs that work great for FS9. I have some experience with Blender with regards to 3D modeling and printing work. On the F...

Seeking a - definitive - answer on this one... Hopefully John will share his - bountiful - knowledge and guidance on this one. 1. Is it even possible? 2. Is the - learning curve - worth the effort compared to existing programs specific to FS9...i.e. Gmax, FSDS, ADE? I have searched the Internet and ...

Checked avsim.ru and found a number of FS9 AI paints for Cuban AF...Not sure if this helps, but thought I would chime in...

Taking a shot in the dark here... Has anyone by chance created a alternate flatten file to go with the KTIK scenery for FS9 by JS for use in a setup with FS Genesis 38m Terrain Mesh and a Max Vertex of 19? Before I dedicate time to making one, I just wanted to inquire if anyone else has already done...

Appreciate the input Steve and Tim... It is strictly for myself and is related to some non-military AI that I have been integrating into my setup, hence the periodic encounters with ICAO changes at civilian airports. Not a huge issue at the moment other than having to go into the sim to cross check ...

While working on some new AI Traffic Flight Plans in FS9 I am noticing that a number of the stock airport ICAO codes have changed in the real world. Does anyone have a best practice recommendation for updating / changing this information? Is it worth the time and effort or am I just better with a sp...

Andy,

If you ever get interested in picking it back up...All you need is a portable USB CD-ROM Drive and you can get FS2004 up and running just fine. If you are using WIN10 HOME or PRO PM me or post to this thread and I can walk you through it...

Thank goodness I chose to stick with FS2004 unrelentingly. As someone who is 60+ years old the adage "newer is not always better" is ringing the bells hard and loud... Granted, the work done for FSX and P3D looks phenomenal, but FS2004 and MAIW fit like a glove once upon a time and I am th...

Hello Everyone, Just had to do a major overhaul of my computer and seem to have lost my notes regarding details and definitions I had for each of the effect files in the A2A Shockwave Lights Redux v1.2 for FS9. The default installed pdf file only gives info for a handful of the 40 effects actually i...

Hard call to make. I still check the forum here daily to keep track of the development efforts. However, FS9 remains my stopping point. IMHO it remains the version that continues to win any Pro/Con list I make. Each of the follow on sims (FSX, P3D, MSFS-202X) have sought to leverage the capabilities...

Outstanding production yet again John...While FS9 is the final version for myself, I will always enjoy watching you continue your contributions to the world!!

Mat

John,

If I recall one of the missions in the movie involved an Iron Hand loadout... early version carried Shrikes...later version carried AGM-78.

Good scheme reference for both aircraft...

Totally unique, but fitting perhaps. Devil 501/505 from the movie "Flight of the Intruder" would be cool...

Thanks Giorgio,

I will post the questions there as well. I just know from hanging out here thru the years that a lot of real-life Air Force folks are here as well.

My 22+ years were all Army so was just a passenger on numerous flights during the time period noted...

So, for Christmas, the wife got me the Anigrand 1/72 Lockheed C-5B Galaxy to build and I want to model it during the 1981 to 1991 time period (which is when the majority of my flights on this bird took place). Are there any members who can give me the accurate names or Federal Standard numbers for t...

John...A huge thank you for all of your contributions to FS9, and by extension thanks to everyone here at MAIW. It has been a fantastic ride with you all. FS9 is the end of the road for me due to my age and time constraints for migrating to yet another version of the sim. I have been an avid support...
