Make sure your addon scenery box is checked in your scenery library. Sometime FSX seems to uncheck this box.

Hi Jim

Hope you can help me.

I am creating an airport which does exist in real life but is not part of FSX.

I have successfully created it (usubg Airport Design Editor) and would love to be able to add a large billboard with in image on it (beach scene) and large text something like Welcome to..

I have seen some CoosBay airports which have biullboards some of which revolve although a static one is ok for me.

I did ask this question on at another website and all I got was "use GoggleSketchUp" which I have used to create a blank billboard but cannot work out how to place text and image on it.

Any ideas?

RE:Going to fast on 747–400LX, Autothrottle in Howard LX

Fri, 7 May 2010 20:09:53 GMT

A 747 doing 800 on auto throttle isnt a problem, the planes were designed to do that. My c-17 that i downloaded from the members area does 990 on auto throttle and mach 2.42 full throttle without any alarms. Not being one of developers of the plane i have no clue if you can limit the speed or activate the warnings, IMHO its nice to be able to exceed what the plane is limited to in the real world without having that annoying overspeed alarm.

As for the howard i've had similar problems with the other panels sometimes its just a bad load and i have to restart the flight sim and it will work fine, but my biggest problem is that i dont have radar on all of them. I really like my c-17's panels, but the md-11 and the fighter jet panel i find a touch less useful.

Going to fast on 747–400LX, Autothrottle in Howard LX

Mon, 3 May 2010 17:04:51 GMT

I've downloaded two aircrafts from member area.

1. 747-400LX

I found a problrm with the air speed, Its goes up to 800 knot and more.

Is there a way to limit the speed, and to have a warning alert upon over speed (at ~360) like in the FSX default 747?.

2. Howard LX

Can't activate the Autothrottle. (remains in red)

(autothrottle works perfect in the a/m 747-400LX)

Need your advise.

Thanks

Sam

Ok, I did this and all paint / textures do show up, Appreciate the quick reply.

Is it safe to assume that most serious FSX users are running with this turned off? I am just wondering if I loose any major features of functions of the sim. I don't know much about the differences between Direct 9 & 10.

Thanks,

Coos Bay Plane Textures

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 15:38:05 GMT

Hello,

How do I get the planes I have downloard to actually work in the sessions. Each plane I have added is showing up all white with no paint or markings. Also none of them have VC or other panels such as engine, radio etc.

I have a couple of other planes for FSX and they show the paint. Just wondering you have any suggestions for me.

I have SP/2 and have download the appropriate files. I also have the DirectX 10 Preview box checked in my settings if that makes a difference.

Any help is greatly appreciated as your planes look and fly great!

Cool Vids!

RE:Panel GPS AddOn

Wed, 8 Oct 2008 10:59:58 GMT

If it is just a matter of making the FSX GPS available to you as a popup, we can probably help you out with that one. Try to catch me in a session or have one of the other guys reach me.

I use: PapaBear43 or coosbay91N

RE:Panel GPS AddOn

Tue, 7 Oct 2008 12:52:19 GMT

Thank you for the info on the key stroke for opening the chat box; I just could not remember what the key stroke was.

As for the GPS addon, the only site I've found so far is from XP Reality, and all they do is push how great their product is { - yeah -- right }. I'm not sure if I have to manually go into a certain file [might have to] and delete the original GPS system or does the XP Reality software does it for you. May be it sets besides the original and it dominates over the orignal or compliments the original -- not sure what is exactly what yet. I need more info. So ---- I'm still looking and trying to understand how all this is put together so I have a better understanding on how to take it apart. This is being more work and taking more time than I thought.

RE:Panel GPS AddOn

Mon, 6 Oct 2008 17:55:36 GMT

I don't know how to add GPS panels, but good luck, I'd like to know too.

As for the chat box. That is that all elusive ENTER key. If that doesn't work, you should look in the settings/key assignments and make your own hot-key.

Good luck

Panel GPS AddOn

Mon, 6 Oct 2008 16:36:11 GMT

I have a couple of aircraft that have the FMC flight computer in them and a Piper Cheyenne with the Trimble system in it. I am slowly getting a handle on the Trimble but it has not been easy.
As for the FMC -- a person darn near has to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out - I am having problems understanding the logic and remembering what does what and the sequences you must follow to get it to work correctly.
The Garmin system is the ticket for me; I have been looking and scouring the internet for a good software addon to install the Garmin GPS system in all my aircraft [original and addon].
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, if anyone knows of a good software addon package - could you please let me know. Here will be fine - because if anyone else is looking for this too - it would be posted here for them to see also.
I thought I had seen here at one time, something about panel upgrades or addons - if so, I can't seem to find where I had saw this. I must be mistaken.

One other little thing - I can not remember this to save my neck - when you are in flight session --- what is that key command to open up the chat box??? I sometimes wish there was on the flight dash panel somewhere a little box that was titled "Chat Box" and all a person had to do was hit it and that darn chat box would open up for you. There are so many key stroke commands to do this or that now - for me - I can't remember them all. I'm probably getting that ol' timers disease --- AGE !!

Tree Crashes

Sun, 5 Oct 2008 04:54:44 GMT

I don't know about everybody else but I fly with crash settings enabled. So if I land and screw up , or if I take off with too much stress on the aircraft - I'll know it.
We need some tree triming along some of those narrow taxi ways. In fact some of those taxiways sure do look a mighty narrow to be putting a C17 on. Almost like making an elephant stand on a baseball. Anyway - it has been twice [2 different airports] - I tried my best to keep "Big Man" in the middle of that lil' ole runway - but I'll be dog gone if I still didn't hit the ugliest little tree anyone ever saw. I bet that tree is still there.

No I don't know where I'm going with this; but if someone could spare a chain saw - it would be greatly appreciated. Support you local Lumberjacks. Thank you for your support.

RE:B737–800 Cascade

Wed, 1 Oct 2008 16:30:10 GMT

Okay -- forget about that 1st posting. I got the problems worked out {took me around 1 hr}. Here goes -- the "model folder" was missing a model cfg file. I [ copied ] an OE FSX B737-800 model folder and put it in the > Cascade's folder < the info in it looks like this         --             [model]
                                                                                                                                                                                       normal=B737_800
                                                                                                                                                                                       interior=B737_800_interior
It works -- don't know if it is right for what you guys intended - I don't have the information. This works ---- my Cascade Liner now shows up in the livery, so now it shows up in the game itself.

Guess what -- no sound -- next problem --- a little thing -- staring me right in the damn face. Did not see it at first [ about 45 minutes of cussing! ]. When I saw the little problem - realized what it was, damn I felt like a noob. It was also missing a folder. There was a "soundai" folder but no "sound" file. Man that had me confused!!
I copied a > sound file < from another plane with this info -------------      [fltsim]
                                                                                                      alias=B737_800\sound
It works - sounds good. I think it is correct because it works. Give me some feed back on this please. If there were added touches {rewritten coded strings}.
I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling - maybe I should have - I don't know ------------- yet.

B737–800 Cascade

Wed, 1 Oct 2008 14:12:58 GMT

I hope this is the place you want subjects like this posted. Any way -- I downloaded the a/c Cascade Liner B737-800. It is in the 'airplane' folder. It does not show up in my livery stable when I go to get it to fly it. I installed the B727-200 'Bird of Prey' w/ no problems. In fact I think the B727 is fantastic, the interior panel is top shelf quality --- fantastcally done [I love lights]; the switches all work. The exterior is top of line too - the paint scheme fits it to the tee; that paint job is awesome. I think is handles superb { speed - speed - speed - man it is fast }; all in all --- the people involved with the 'Bird of Prey' did one great job. The B727 is one top notch aircraft you got here - well done. "Thank You!!"

Now back to the Cascade -- 'Help'..
