Hi Shaun

I put in a 'Search' on this forum, typing in the word 'black'.

I eventually came up with this link ...

My link

I tried deleting the folder B772MX and reinstalling as suggested in the link, and it worked fine!!

Worth remembering if this comes up again.

Incidentally, I looked through all the aircraft folders (before I found this link) and I noticed quite a few had sub-folders named ' Texture.blank ' What does this mean? I wondered if it had anything to do with the problem?

Cheers

Hi Shaun

Yes, there are aircraft further away that have full liveries. I dont think it is a case of range of definition as you may be suggesting.

To be more specific .....

I wish I could identify the aircraft in question - it is always the same type. Twin engine, heavy, 6 wheeled main u/c. The wings and tailplane appear in standard grey definition, only the fuselage and fin are black with no features showing. The same aircraft type appears at EGBB (gate 85) in Emirates, and at EHAM (gateE7) in KLM.

I did a 'World/go to airport' for the following locations and using slew checked out where these a/c were situated.

EGLL is the worst - I've counted 10 black a/c in various gates, but all other a/c appear normally.

EGKK has one black a/c and always at gate 54

EDDF is fine. So is EDDK and EGCC. No black a/c.

It seems like one particular aircraft is not registering some of its liveries. But I could be wrong.

I've recently switched to MyTraffic after using Ultimate Traffic 2, which I found to be poor in the amount of a/c at the airports. I like an airport to look busy with lots of different liveries filling the gates, and MyTraffic certainly does this. I am only on 50% traffic and that is ample for me.

My system is 2 years old now - Intel core quad 6600 2.4 GHz; Windows Vista Home Prem. 4 GB DDR2 memory; 512 Nvidia GeForce 8800GT.

Hope you can solve the prob.

I am finding some aircraft appearing all black when I position myself at EGKK and EGLL - the UK2000 versions.

Not sure what aircraft, I think possibly 777s.

Is there a cure for this? Hope someone can help.

I have recently purchased via download My Traffic2010 and as yet there is no problem with that.

When I installed the program I opted not to install the Sound Patch.

However, I would now like to give this option a try but cannot find this patch to install. Was it only on the main installation?

I'm sure there must be a link somewhere.

Please could someone guide me to its location or suggest how I can install it.

Thanks

I, too, am having problems activating EGCC.

I downloaded v1.2 as advised, ran FSX to install the changes to scenery files, and check there were no hitches and all seems okay.

I shut down FSX and opened AES, but still no EGCC is appearing on my installed airports list.

Please could you look into this problem further.

Thanks

Thanks for the link Tigerclaw.

It's a simple download and I like the fact that BOB installs itself (or should it be himself!) at the number one spot in the aircraft selection menu.

I have been playing around with it and to begin with I found it a little difficult to control the speed. It tends to run away with you and it's hard to set a constant slow speed. Also in the virtual cockpit mode (as suggested) you can get disoriented because using the hat to look around there is no set forward position to return to, so when you start to move again you are not necessarily in the 'facing forward' position. Also the hat movements are jerky, not smooth.

I have got on better with it set on 'Spot', outside view. I can adjust the zoom to 40 and get a nice wide angle view. Using the hat is much better - it's smoother to swing around, and easy to return to forward view by pressing 2 on the number pad. You can also use the other numbers to snap to different views. It doesn't dip forward when you break, as it does in virtual cockpit mode. I wish the cornering could be sharper, though.

Sounds are not bad, but could be better. I have had the ATC set to 'ground' or 'tower' and just wandered around with my airband radio!! Great!

I have also tried slewing (which I hadn't realised I could use - doh!!). I used it with the microlight and its very quick to move around just using the stick control. But it is silent. Seeing the pilot sitting there made me think you could just have a standing-up figure modelled in 3-D ( no aircraft ) to move around in this mode.

Thanks for those suggestions, guys.

I just need to find a car to try now and I have been having no luck getting one for FSX. Can't seem to locate a download.

If anyone knows of a FSX version and could give me the Link I would be much obliged.

Thanks

Thanks guys, for your response.

I'll have a look for the cars in Avsim - could be what I'm after.

I do like the sound of BOB though. That could be really interesting.

Finally, could someone, perhaps Er!k, explain how to do 'slewing'. That's definitely something I've missed in FSX.

cheers

[Airport Viewing]

When I purchase a new airport as I have done recently -German Airports 3 - I like to go around the airport to look at the various gates and parking areas and perhaps select a few spots that I am going to use, or just view the airport in general.

To do this I am selecting a small aircraft eg Cessna,Piper, and taxying around in this!

But this is silly.

I would like to select some sort of appropriate vehicle to drive in.

Is there a product available that will do this? Instead of selecting an aircraft, select a car.

Or is there some way of doing it that I don't know about?

I use FSX, and Vista.

Hi Shaun

Not quite sure what AFCADs are or what they are used for. I may sound a bit of a novice, but I have never had cause to use them!

I am willing to try most things, but I would need a bit of guidance. I have looked in the Flight1 Ultimate Traffic folder, but can't find AFCADs.

Are they in the form of config.files as with FSX.cfg in notebook format with a whole list of entries?

If you can give me some directions as to finding them and how to edit I could give it a go.

Thanks

[Munster/Osnabruck - HELP]

Hi Darem

Tried your suggestion regarding fsx.cfg file (it is in the same place in Vista), but sadly it hasn't made any difference.

I forgot to mention that I have Flight1 Ultimate Traffic 2007 installed. Could this make any difference?

Ive put 'flushing tool' into Google and this came up as an extract from a forum:

Download/install and run the Windows Installer Cleanup Tool

http://download.micr...1bd/msicuu2.exe - http://download.micr...1bd/msicuu2.exe

After install, run it and have it flush anything FSX related. BE CAREFUL with that tool.. if you dont see anything Flight Simulator X related, close the tool!

Does this sound as though it could sort things? Or is it too risky?

Thanks for trying

Sorry, I pasted this from 'Word' and it came out like this.

I should have checked!!!!!

[Munster/Osnabruck - HELP]

Hi Darem

Thanks for replying.

Checked the three EDDG files and they are in the same order with the last two set to off as you suggested.

My scenery library is as follows:

AES basepack

Aerosoft AFD

German Airports 2

German Airports 2_LC

Mega Airport Frankfurt

Mega Airport Frankfurt _LC

VFR Germany 1 (west)

Mega Airport Heathrow

UK2000 Gatwick Xtreme

UK2000 Birmingham Xtreme

VFR Airfields vol 1

VFR Gen X vol 3 )

vol 2 ) there are 36 of these entries - Horizon Photographic Scenery

vol 1 )

Fly Tampa Maarten X

Lord Howe Island

Falcon X why is this in scenery??

The rest is all FSX own scenery

I didn’t realise that it was important to have these entries in a specific order. I have since put them into this order. I did know that AES had to be first because it stated this in the instructions.

Should I have Mega Airport Heathrow _LC in the list as with Frankfurt? It isn’t there.

Now it still hasn’t totally solved the problem. On setting EDDG > gate 14 to start the flight the aircraft still appears in the buildings. However, if I start at Hannover, say, and then move the location to Munster using the task bar -

World > Go to Airport > EDDG > gate 14 ….. it sets the aircraft in the correct place, and everything looks fine. This is because I have AES installed I suppose.??

Are you able to make any sense of this, Darem?

My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 8800GT with 512 mb

4gb DDR memory

Intel Quad 6600 processor

I generally fly – 737 Pilot in Command; or Just Flight Airbus series to and from Germany.

I struggle for memory after about 30mins and the computer slows down.

Hope to hear from you again

[Munster/Osnabruck - HELP]

No, I installed the scenery first, then added the airports individually. When first installed Munster was okay, but I must have done something, because recently it has become annoying and I cant get it to work properly. I'm having to use push-back to get the aircraft clear of the buildings, but even so the static a/c are in the wrong place.

deecee

[Munster/Osnabruck - HELP]

Every time I try to locate at this airport I find that the aircraft is positioned in the airport buildings. The whole of the airport ground seems to be mis-aligned with the buildings.

I have tried to un-install using Control Panel/Un-install, but although it tells me that the un-install was successful the scenery remains in place. I cannot eliminate it.

I have VFRGermany2 installed and other airports - Frankfurt, Cologne, Hannover, Dortmund - and there is no problem.

I would be pleased if someone could suggest a fix for me.

Thank you

[Airbases]

Love flying the F-16, but I would really like to fly from some military airbases with dedicated scenery, particularly in Europe. At the moment I am using Bitburg, Spangdahlen, Ramstein, Buchel etc, but these are only very basic scenery. Vfr Germany is great to fly over. Can anyone suggest some military bases with decent scenery that I could download, either free or to purchase? What about you Aerosoft? Do you have anything in the pipeline that I can look forward to? Your major airports are great, but not really suitable for military traffic. Is there anything in Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and other countries around Germany? Bases where the European liveries of the F-16 would not look out of place.

Hoping for some suggestons,

deecee
