  1. I thought in the same way and hesitated to buy EHAM for FSX for a long time. But in the end I buyed it and was very surprised, that the frames are not lower than other european mega-airports (like Heathrow or Paris CDG or Munich). But I have to admit that i use EHAM with the NL2000 freeware of Netherlald. And that is photo-texture with very few autogen. But that doesn't matter, coz texture resolution is so good that you don't need autogen really.

    Indeed the fps for their products are not as bad as some report them to be. Even without NL2000 EHAM runs quite smooth here and I think that'll be the same with LIRF. In fact in FS2004 I got more fps on Aerosoft Mega Airport Amsterdam than on Cloud9 Amsterdam.

    Good to know guys. Maybe I will give it another look when it goes on sale at some point. It's just one of those products that after you read so many bad reviews about it make you really hesitant to purchase, especially considering there is no trial version or refund available if it doesn't work to your satisfaction.

  2. DFS has been very quiet since the completetion of EHAM.

    I'll be honest, after all the complaints that I have read about their EHAM scenery regarding performance and such, I would be pretty hesitant to buy an airport from them unless there is an overwhelming amount of good reviews saying that the FPS are good. I still haven't bough EHAM and probably never will due to the bad performance but there is no way I will touch FCO if I read the same feedback that EHAM got.

  3. Send me your e-mail address either via PM or e-mail to shaunaerosoft@aol.com and mention this thread.

    Ok, PM sent as well as an email from my gmail account and my AOL account which is the email account that my store account has listed.

    Thanks

  4. Shaun, my store account has not been fixed yet and is still showing the FS9 version. What do I need to do to get this fixed? You have my order number already. Is it neccessary to email support again but from the same email address as my store account?

    All I want to do is have the FS9 version removed which I accidentally purchased and of course have not installed or activated since I am not an FS9 user and have it replaced with the FSX version.

    Thanks in advance.

  5. I'll send you a PM of the address in which I emailed support. I never use the AOL account because its a hassell to get into and gets spammed to death.

    Just tried to PM you but got a message that you can't accept anymore PM's.

    Anyway, I sent the support request from the same address as my store acount but ending in @gmail.com, but since you found my order under the order number I supplied and you just delete/replace that order with the FSX version since I dont use FS9 it's not needed.

    Thanks,

    Sean

  6. Did you use your forum account e-mail address as I dont see any mail on the Support Desk.

    But your order says that you ordered the FS2004 version!

    No, I emailed from my gmail account which is different than the email on my store account. The store account is an AOL address and I use the same letters/name in my GMAIL address as well but rather than being from ...@aol.com its ...@gmail.com

    I'll send you a PM of the address in which I emailed support. I never use the AOL account because its a hassell to get into and gets spammed to death.

  7. Go in your downloadshopaccount and download the FSX version. You have suerly only clicked on the wrong version and so you've accidently downloaded the FS9 one.

    Can't unfortunately, since this product isn't included for both sims at the same price like other products are otherwise I would have both installers available in my shop account. Guess I will just have to wait for customer service to change my order to the FSX version. I surprised myself that I did this after having ordered stuff going back to 2003 for FS8 and FS9 that I accidentally purchased something for the wrong platform.

  8. Tonight I purchased Anchorage X from the Ice Age sale menu for US $21.35. After completing the transaction and downloading, when I went to run the installer the installer said I had the FS2004 version. First of all I have no idea how I ended up purchasing the FS9 version since the product page said I was getting the FSX version and it also says the FS9 version isn't available yet.

    Unsure of what to do I went ahead and sent an email to support@aerosoft.com explaining what happened. Is there anything else I can do or do I just wait to hear back from them? My order number is #331722. Basically what I want to do is cancel the FS9 version and get the FSX version since I no longer use FS9.

    Thanks in advance.

  9. btw why not just move to Firefox 4.0.1?

    Well, honestly I have never found the need to use any other browser besides IE7, until now of course since I am having an issue accessing this forum on IE7. In all the years of internet browsing IE7 or whatever version of IE I was using always seems to be sufficient. I'm honestly not sure what the features or benefits are of using any other browser besides a version of IE, except that I downloaded and installed Chrome just to use for the Aerosoft forums.

  10. Can you not use IE:8 or 9.

    I haven't tried either of those versions. On my internet computer I have always just used IE7 that came with the install disks.

    I might give IE8 a shot to see if it works, however since my internet computer is on Win XP, I understand that IE8 is as far as I can go since IE9 is for Win 7.

  11. Hi Shaun,

    I tried downloading the new version of NiceX again last night and it seems like whatever it was cleared up. I was able to download NiceX and it only took about 10 minutes at ~350KB/sec.

    Guess something was going on during the day which was causing a major slow down, but seems to be working fine now.

  12. I just went to download the new version of Nice (LFMN) and got a speed of 6 to 10 KB/sec which indicated it was going to take between 6.5 to 11 hours to download the installer. Normally when I download a product here of that size it normally takes somewhere around half and hour if that. Is there an issue with the servers or are they just really busy at the moment? I have tried a few times today and got the same result each time.

  13. I'm still having a problem getting the site to work on IE7. Tried all of the advice above, cleared cache and temp IE files, reset IE, ran virus and malware, spyware scanner, rebooted, etc.

    Today I downloaded Chrome and that is what I am using now to access the forum. Seems to be working fine on it so I guess I will just use Chrome if I need to access this forum since I cant seem to get IE7 to work correctly with the new forum software.

  14. Well if its a problem with Aerosofts forum and IE, why arent I having the same problem when I use IE?

    Hard to say, different browser, different OS, etc. could be anything or any number of causes. At least I know its not just me since a guy on another forum is having the same issue as me.

    You would think that resetting the browser settings, clearing temp internet files and clearing the cache would have solved it though if it was a problem with my computer.

    Like I mentioned all other forums using this style/type of forum software behave and work fine except this one.

    Oh well, I suppose it will remain a mystery unless others report the same issue I have.

    Thanks for trying to help.

  15. You will need to reset IE

    See here

    Hi Matt,

    I tried resetting IE and it has made no difference. I suspect that it has something to do with the forum software. I mentioned this to someone on the FSDT forum and they said they are having issues with the Aerosoft forum as of late as well, so I am guessing its not just me,

    Also, it looks like Aerosoft forums are using the same or similar forum software that Avsim, ORBX, and REX are using, but I have no problems with any of those forums or anything else on the internet for that matter, just these forums in the past few days. Prior to whenever Aerosoft added the "shield symbols" next to the forum topics everything was working fine, but no longer.

    Thanks for the help though. I guess I will just have to browse this forum from my phone or wait until more people say something then maybe the forum admins will be able to check the forum software settings to make sure everything is set properly.

    I most likely will just remain on IE though and not change browers just for one forum since IE seems to work fine for all my regular uses.

    BTW, have a look at this screen shot. It seems like all the left hand margins are screwed up.

  16. I haven't been on the Aerosoft forum in a while and when I accessed it today I see that it looks a bit different than it used to with the new symbols next to the topic, etc.

    However, when I try to open some topics they take forever to load and sometimes it completely locks up my browser to where I have to use the task manager to quit iexplorer.When I do this I sometimes get an error log that says I have a iexplorer hungapp problem. I also noticed that the topics that do load seem to have a huge space between the end of the message and where the signature box would be. In essence I have to scroll the mouse wheel quite a few times just to get down to the next reply.

    I attached a screen shots showing what I am talking about in regards to the huge space from the end of a message to the next one.

    I have also done the usual clearing of temp internet file and clearing the cache and rebooting the computer, but still only this forum out of all the forums I typically visit (Avsim, FSDT, FlyTampa, ORBX, etc.) is giving me problems.

    Is there something I need to adjust with my browser settings specifically for this forum now? Of note, it seems to work fine on my Andriod phone and also on my iPad, only problems on the PC.

    Thanks for the help.

  17. I had that. It's not too bad, but it's outdated now. When I bought a new PC I didn't bother to reinstall it because of that.

    That's good to know, not that I was planning on getting it, but good to know none the less.

    When you say it's outdated, in what aspect is it outdated? Poor graphics, non smooth guages, things that dont work properly?

    I have found that the LDS 767 in FSX is a bit outdated compared to todays standards, but I still love it and fly it often. Sometime when you want a particular plane and there aren't many choices we have to settle for what there is? In the case of the Tomahawk, the screen shots dont look to bad and if you want one, there's not much else to choose from since no one else makes one.

  18. I'm not sure if your joking or not since this is the most basic question I have ever seen posted on a developers website, but here are the steps.

    1. Buy the scenery you want

    2. Download the scenery you purchased

    3. Run the installer after the download is complete

    4. Follow the instructions when running the installer

    5. When installer is finished installing the scenery your done. Usually the installer will add the new scenery to the scenery.cfg, but sometimes you have to do it manually inside the FSX UI or by using a scenery.cfg editor like SCM2004.

    6. Launch FS9 or FSX and enjoy your new scenery.

    Hopefully that covers it.

  19. I must say kwensi, that last remark is way over the top and you should edit it or delete it before you get yourself banned.

    I can see how can you feel pretty upset after reading snaves first response, he's not very nice the way he criticizes people and as a result has gotten himself banned from Avsim and probably other FS forums as well. Frankly, I don't think I can even think of anyone that I dislike more than snave in the FS community based on the way he talks to people, especially when they mean no harm, or in your case were trying to help. Rather than bash him back, just put him on ignore if the forum allows it, if not just pretend he's not there as hard as it might be.

    That being said, your post does contain some good information if people have been following Jesus' threads in the past and know what his tweaks do and how to use them. However, just coping and pasting his cfg can cause some issues if you don't know what your doing and what those tweaks and adjustments do. I think you would have been better off just making people aware of him and some of the tweaks he has come up with. Personally, I have never had to use them, but I know they have been discussed a lot, sometimes on this forum as a matter of fact, but mostly on Avsim. It seems that they have helped some people though.
