That's going to suck!!

canadiancalssicairlines.com/cpc was the url

Its been a long road with cp air virtual that I've been with, even enjoying them for a few years has been a very fun and enjoyable time with the group...

it has shut down for good and will never ever be able to start up again unless someone wants to try it out for themselves, the photo below is of me removing the ACARS system that will no longer work for anytime soon, 8inster sad emoji!!

Below is a screen of the last few seconds I have of the acars getting removed/uninstalled and possibly never seeing it again... it may not be forever though.... even if I were to"Wayback machine" open  and download it I won't be able to fly with them...ouch

there were hints of them  (on the forum posts i saw) finishing or shutting down the website temporarily and quitting, then another person was going to take over it and maybe this is only temporary!! I don't know at this point!

so there's the last second that my acars was going to sit on my desktop screen

CP Air Random/Non VA fun flight from CYQH to CYDA from a few days ago

Holding short at CYQH  from tower view

Pulling into Runway!!

"Empress of Watson Lake, taken at Watson Lake"

Go around from CYDA

Tinmouse/KH 737-200 has option to open the air stairs using the "wing fold" key of whatever you set it to!! i set mine to Shift->O

Parked and Closed up for the night

During the Flight, I had some issues with the aircraft regarding losing control,  it was like an onset of hard over but not allowing any movent of the aircraft up or down and it was an issue where I couldn't control the plane or make it "nose-dive" or "aim for the sky" in any way possible even when cutting throttle to its idle position, I still had trouble taking control of the plane and descend as I was getting closer to CYDA (Dawson City Yukon)... I found it to be really hard to continue on after a few moments, even when I thought id try to divert to another airport nearby I couldn't descend down any feet at all, even at idle throttle..

The 737-200 had a few of these issues in the past and have cleared them up and simulated flights to see if any variant of future 737 variations (ie -300 -400 -500 etc) had the same problem as well, and cleared it up forever so you shouldn't have to worry on anything made after the 200 (except the max aircraft).

I was able to land after leaving the throttle at idle and tried to keep the aircraft at a decent angle of attack to at least descend down to something amiable or closer so I could go around if possible..it was terrible to have this happen to this flight on such a nice day but things happen sometimes for unknown reasons and the most important part is that you land safely or try to mitigate the issue and land and figure it out when you land... even the smallest or modern airports should have a mechanic around to help you should things like this happen to you. 

if you look just more on screenshots than anything else the 737-200 pictured here, you might see that name of the aircraft (shown like "empress of  'certain town/city'") and if you know that town/airport/city you can see the airport I was at...is also the name of the aircraft pictured above!!

sorry for all these updates but wow.. this blog is going good!!

if you have gone back to FS95/FS6.0/FSFW95 and need help how to install aircraft

Here's some help for you

                                                                        ⧭⧭⧭⧭⧭⧭⧭⧭


Step 1. download the aircraft from flightim.com or copy from an old hard drive or whatever

step 2 open the zip file and take a look at its contents...

step 3 find where you've installed the simulator (Microsoft actually send it to Program Files-Microsoft Games-Flight Simulator) and then go to the next  step once you are done this

step 4, all contents are included like this

• 4 to five files with *.0AF and as you scroll down you should see a lot more *.XAF and X is where another number in the sequence is there
• 2 files that are *.mdl and *.air (if you see the *.air file show up as air file) as the file type then looks for one file that doesn't have an *mdl or *0AF after the period. 

so you can see there's 0AF, 1AF, and others in sequential order ^above

step 4a copy the files that end in AF into main texture folder

step 4b copy the *model file and *.air file to "sim" folder and 

VOILA, open up the flight sim involved here and the aircraft should show up...

hope this helped, but that's only if google algorithm got you here lol

sorry thats a rude joke...have a good day

more websites for fs9 stuff are dissapearing or im just not seeing them go

here's a link to a website whose page of fs9 has been removed or left behind but i found a way back machine of the page and here it is in all its glory..


https://web.archive.org/web/20160724120358/http://scenery4flightsims.com/FS9_USA.html

that snapshot was taken in 2016 as it says above  in the bolded and italic type "https://web.archive.org/web/20160724120358"

the original link is here below but that won't get you anywhere, as the site is shut down

http://scenery4flightsims.com/FS9_USA.html

now you can use that link shown directly above and load it up on waybackmachine

making the fsx demo seem more like the full version of fsx

Maybe you have downloaded FSX Demo and thought, "wait!!  it's set up inside the folder just like the previous sims that Microsoft has ever made" and you're like "what if I just go ahead and add other planes you've downloaded to other computers and copy them in.." ..will they work??

well if you asked these questions at all please be available to realize that "YES" the answer is yes, and you can add and copy aircraft (with varying results)and add scenery as well... you can just edit the DLGsplash.bmp file and make it look like it never had been made to be just a demo!!


with only considerations like

1. there's no multiplayer

other than that there are no other differences

That's it, even if you find this I have not tried to break/jail the sim, its 15 years old by the way!!...so I just wanted to see if it works that way and it does!!

keep in mind that some things are lost or not copied like the normal one is.. and speaking of the standard version since it's now 15+ years old you can find a freeware version of the standard version + accel added on for only free and only "8GB". I'm sure someone in the future can copy this game onto a flash drive or a CD/DVD for others to allow the way it plays to keep going.

That should help with using the demo version as a standalone copy of the sim... if others have a copy of the sim in various forms like steam and gold versions you can copy settings from the steam or standard/gold into it!!
