Greg, That's fantastic. I'm glad this solution worked... :encouragement:

Lee, Beaches are a definitely a problem in FS2004. My country has a sandy coast with just dunes and beaches, but not a single grain of sand can be found in FS2004...... The pictures from payware Ultimate terrain show some sandy beaches, but I don't have or know it, so I can't tell you what Florida looks like in this scenery. Cheers, Huub

Its an ugly plane, but a beautiful model. As we now know how it all ended, we can hardly understand that people once believed in aircraft like this....... Cheers, Huub

Looks promising Shessi :encouragement:. The Polikarpov is straight into my alley! (Is that a proper English expression?) Cheers, Huub

Jan, This is Golden Wings by Lynn and Bill Lyons. In combination with the high density of autogen it looks very nice. I have replaced the Golden Wings trees with HD-simulation trees. I have the ORBX textures (vector, base pack and open LC Europe) in my FSX install and like them over there. In FS9 somehow Golden or Silver wings just fits better. A while back I asked people here why they still fly FS9, most enjoyed the simplicity compared with FSX and the huge amount of available freeware. Although I have a quite sweet running install from FSX as well, I mainly fly and tweak in FS9. Models in FSX are often further developed, but for somebody like me, who like to hop in a plane and fly away, FS2004 is often just what I need :biggrin-new:. (There are also models in FSX which I really...

Still very much a work in progress, but already my favorite touring aircraft, especially when flying over the aforementioned Cliffs of Dover....... Paul

Huub, You're using the ORBX textures, is that right? Your install almost makes me want to install FS9 again! (if only for the C9 Phantom) Cheers, Priller

Some very interesting models there. :applause:

So ugly - who can resist, I love ugly. Looking forward to this. :applause:

Especially in the morning sun the White Cliffs of Dover are indeed very white. I have seen them several times from the French side (Cap Blanc Nez & Cap Griz Nez) when I was on holiday there. But I don't know any scenery for FS2004 which shows the Cliffs that white. I remember a package for CFS2, which made the Cliffs realistic white, but the grass from this scenery didn't blend with the rest. The pale green/blue water colour by Lynn and Bill Lyons look very nice here. Its exactly the colour as I remember it. In my opinion IL2 Cliffs of Dover has the best Cliffs of Dover. But when you give a combat flightsim a name like that, you should of course give extra attention to this landmark. Cheers, Huub

I tried Rami's solution of building my connection to cfs2 from an administrator log in, transferred the shortcuts from my old desktop to the new one. And lo... MB is now working! :applause::applause:

What a fabulous lineup Shessi! I'd be happy to help with research if needed.

I canned the original Flight Plan and made two new AI_Stearmans and a new Flight Plan. Nothing fancy, just out and back from two local airports (30 minute flights). I remembered, as the first flight started to taxi, that I had a mess with the Stearman for my Corsicana Air Field scenery. Asking around I found that tail draggers are notorious for taking their own route to the runway due to poor turning radius. This first AI left the parking spot on time and headed to the taxiway, then went past the taxiway headed for the hangar across the field. He went through the hangar, across the taxiway and runway, west beyond the airport boundary then began to parallel the runway headed north, continued to taxi about a half mile beyond the runway then turned south, crossed the south end of the...

Love the both the TA-4J and the A-4. H/T to Dino, have loved everyone of your aircraft. Wondering if the gunsight is fixed on the TA-4J and A-4?

Ian, I agree with you. Looking at that scenery gives me the same view of the land meeting the ocean I am looking to replace. Here in Florida, (along with several other areas), we have beaches. The grass, bushes, shrubs, and trees in most cases do not go all the way to the water. Generally, we have several meters/yards of white, grey, tan sand between the water and vegetation. Does anyone know of a good replacement texture set which actually has beaches in Florida? Lee

Dumb question - do the ai stearmans have sections in the aircraft.cfg? If that isn't there the AI will appear but just sit at their parking place. Gavin

Thank You for This Great looking Jet.
