Over the years I've always had trouble getting the gun sounds to work in planes that have them. I have gotten some to work by putting the gun sound wave file contents in both the sound and effects file,but it doesn't always work. An example is the new Macchi 205 by Italo D'Attomo ,I put the wave file(50 cal.) into the FS9 sound file but when I press the brake button or even push the brakes with my CH pedals ,while airborn,gear up,which is supposed to activate the gun sound ,I get nothing,the sam with many other planes that have gun sounds,another is the Fairy Barrcuda,some planes I've gotton them to work(Alphas SE5A) but most don't work. What I'am I doing wrong? Thanks

Looks like I'm finally gonna move on from fs2002 to the vaunted fs2004 soon. My IT addicted friend has found a slightly used PC that will in his words, "Change my computer experience forever." While that is yet to be seen, he did suggest I look for a good graphics card as the one in the PC is minimal at best. Sooooooooooo, since this box will be pretty much dedicated to FS, what is the buzz on the streets in y'alls respected opinion as to the best graphics card out there for fs2004? I've heard the nVidia GeForce 8400 is pretty good but am totally open to those with the experience. Any and all advice will be most appreciated -- except ideas that could result in bodily harm to me.:salute:

Hello all, I thought I'd start a thread on my upcoming new series of EE/BAC Canberra models for FS2004; work on the freeware portion of this is approaching completion, and I hope to have it for release within the next two months. For the record, the freeware release will encompass the B.2 variant, in the forms of early, classic, late and prototype B.2 models. They will feature a VC and several paint schemes, along with a paintkit and some other goodies. Details on the later payware models will be available at www.flyingstations.com There will be a beta test prior to release, but I haven't sorted that out entirely yet. Feedback welcome as always, and I will post more updates soon once I lock the VC down a little more. Cheers, Steve

I have Bill Lyon's Orcas Island scenery installed...it comes with the Travel Air Package. I have a lot of buildings that are untextured. I have installed, reinstalled, reinstalled...and still the same. It just dawned on me that I have the scenery installed in a normal-ish install of FS9...not a GW3 set up. Is that the culprit behind the untextured buildings? OBIO

A pilot figure for my Bell 222 helicopter project. Does anyone know where I can get a decent figure for my project? I would like to add a female and male version, but either one would be okay. Any help is appreciated.

Would anyone know where I can find a paint of the Flight1 PC-12 in the USAF U-28 scheme? There are a number of them based at Hurlburt field in Florida, and I would like to have one in my sim so I will fly the PC-12 more often. Thanks in advance!

As some of you may know Dave Moly is putting the Auster B4 Ambulance together and as it is one of only two fixed wing aircraft to use the Blackburn Bombardier engine he needs a Coffman Starter sound to go with the effect. I understand Lawdog has a Coffman effect on his Typhoon sound set but I am damned if I can find it. Cheers Leif

You all know http://www.fs-shipyards.org/ Whats going on there ? :confused: The site will be closed at the 15th of september ??? I hope not !!! :banghead: Andi

Hi, Is there an way to set the viewpoint in the VC (an bit) higher, in the aircraft.cfg? As it is now...I feel like an 12 year old kid sitting in the seat, and can nearly look over the aircraft nose.

Anyone know where I can find re-paints for the Alphasim's CH-53? I did searches at the usual suspects...Avsim, Flightsim and Simviation. I even did a Google search to no avail. All I can find are a handful of textures for Rory Kelly's -53. I'm just looking a for a modern paint scheme of a USMC squadron...I guess gray with some oil and exhaust marks. Thanks, Ray

Hey all, I am in the process of rediscovering Rick Piper's fantastic A-22 Foxbat, without a doubt one of the best LSA's out there for FS2004. The only major issue that when there was only one pilot the plane banks to the left unless there was almost no gas in the left tank due to the shift to the CoG. IIRC when it first came out there was some discussion on this and someone here uploaded a revised cfg file to fix it. This brings up two questions: 1) If there is only one person in a small two-seater (side-by-side) does the real thing bank to the left without any control input; if it does is it to the same extent as the A-22 is showing? 2) Does anyone have that revised cfg file? Many thanks in advance :) PS-FSNordic's Evektor EV97's Rotax sound is INCREDIBLE for the A-22.

Hello there guys I have painted yet another SAAF aircraft on request from one of the forum members here to fill the virtual skies. I have made a repaint for the Aeroworx Aviation X-treme King Air B200 in the colours of the South African Air Force or SAAF 41 Squadron aka "the Pointers" #652. The King Air 200 in SAAF colours has the national flag on the tailfin with the serial number in black. The SAAF cookie cutter roundel is on the side of the fuselage with dark blue and arctic blue stripes. The Pointers patch is painted on the side near the cockpit windows. To obtain the payware Aeroworx Aviation X-treme King Air B200 a purchase should be made from http://www.flight1.com for this repaint to work. I have uploaded the repaint at http://www.flightsim.com so be sure to check it out! Make a search for either SAAF or Pieters, if the repaints do not show yet it maybe due to the servers not showing them yet.

There's a new Firefly at Flightsim.com by AF Scrub. http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fsec=0&fname=FIREFLY_MK1.ZIP
