Steve, Thanks for the reply... I think I have narrowed my problem down. I was working on another project that involved reconfiguring some of the ports. The real "kick in the pants" is that I have forgotten what those changes were. I am going to have to research my notes and figure out what...

Just curious if anyone is having problems downloading weather with FS9? I have been trying for several days and keep getting an error message from within the sim. I thought maybe my system got screwed up someway, so did a fresh install of FS9, but still cannot download weather.... If the answer is n...

Thanks for the responses....I have not paid hardly any attention to FSX as I just do not have the hardware to run it...

Just out of curiousity.... I notice that some of the MAIW packages have AFX files made with ADE. Can someone enlighten me as to what features of the ADE program are FS9 compatible and which are not? Are there benefits to using this program for some FS9 scenery features vs. ScenGenX and AFCAD? Thanks...

Quick update... The AFCAD for KHOP is proving to be a real pain. The taxiways in the default are in most cases 100+ meters off from their true locations and KHOP has taxiways of varying widths (80ft to 200ft). It is a painstaking process to say the least...which is one more reason that I have come t...

Very cool!!!

I am about ready to put up some screenshots of my KHOP scenery as well, what program are you using for your screenshots?

Thanks,

Mat

Thanks for the help guys...

I finally got the program working correctly in VISTA. Not sure why, but had to install it three times before the files correctly registered with the OS.

Thanks Scott...

I'll take a look at this compile.xml file when I get a chance and see if I can figure out what is going on...

Mike... No, I just installed it. I have tried it in both XP and Vista-64. Both OS are completely up-to-date to include the MSXML4 updates. I also have ScenGenX (Airport) and the FS2004 BGL SDK installed in XP. No problems compiling with them. I am curious if the compile.xml file is causing the probl...

I downloaded this neat little program from FSDeveloper.com. However, I keep getting an error when trying to compile a file... F:\Program Files\SceneryDesign.org\ObPlacer XML>bglcomp compile.xml INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR C1003: Failed to create MSXML object! (0x80040154) Parsing document: compile.xml E...

I have been a big fan of the Auslogics programs. I only use the free versions as it has been my experience that you don't get that much more by buying the "full" programs. Most payware programs of this type are just different GUI's that use the same algorithm's and coding that comes with y...

Joe...

When you cleaned up the Hard Drive, did you use just the programs that Microsoft Windows gives you or do you have 3d party software?

I use the free versions of Auslogics Disk Defrag and Registry Cleaner to keep my system running smooth...

I d/l all of them from AVSIM just before the crash after purchasing the plane myself.

I'd be happy to zip'em and send them to you. PM with an address and I'll get them off to ya!!

I run Vista 64 Home Premium as well. I have been doing a lot of "trial and error" education on Vista here lately and have found that when installing software I avoid a lot of headaches by running a registry cleaner/repair program and disk defrag program after the initial software install. ...

Thank you for the replies... Pascul... I would be very grateful for the FSDS files...I don't have that program. I am assuming that I will need to convert them to an MDL? I will PM you with my e-mail address for the file. :) Thanks for the BETA test offers, I will be in touch via PM when the package ...

So far this has been a really fun project for me, and living just a few miles from the base is a plus as well. Will have screenies coming very soon, plus would like to get help via a couple of beta testers as well. Hopefully, AVSIM's library will come back real soon as well so I can wrap this projec...

Nick, A couple of quick questions for you... 1) I am doing scenery for KHOP (101st Abn and TF 160). How hard would it be for you to modify the chinook you made to represent an MH-47E/G, i.e. re-fuel probe, flir chin pod? 2) Is TF 160 a possible project in the works down the road?...so I don't step o...

To remove the SP2 install go to Windows Update in the Control Panel and select "view installed updates" or something to that effect...(I'm not looking at the screen this second)...You need to remove the one marked KB948465. If you cannot access it via the control panel, there is another wa...

Nice article. I would suspect that at that time (1999) they were involved in supporting TF 160 (The Nightstalkers) and probably 16 SOW. The C-5, if my memory from Strategic Deployment School still serves, can carry up to eight helicopters of the size normally used by TF 160... AH/MH-6, AH/MH-60, etc...

Here is a link for Jim Donnigan's website. He is a civilian defense analyst who has been in "the loop" for years. He always makes some pretty sound arguments and analysis of all things military....well worth a look and is updated daily.
