its been fun...
Well it's been about a year since I have tried to get my computers running and then couldn't possibly use them again so they don't work! An end of an era for me...
I'd like to come and talk about the many years I've not only been flightsimming but being with virtual airlines. I started with one way back in 2002 or 2003 called Virtual Westjet. It was fun, got me some time to not only fly but communicate with a community online and sometimes fly with them on vatsim.
It dawned on me how easy ot was flying fir a so called Virtual airline. So simple in fact I've not yet found one I could hate fir any reason.
Criss-crossing the country or even the globe could get you some much needed hours or time in the seat of a well groomed aircraft you've never flown before..
When it comes to flying for all the VA's I've flown for here's my time to make thank you cards fir the ones I remember.
Alaska-thanks for allowing me to discover the unidentified terrain that is Alaska.And for the friendships. Favorite flight:SEA to ANC
American. Thanks for the friendships and the chance to cris cross the country and get to know it more..favorite flight:KBOS to KLAX
Delta-thanks fir the same thing American gave me.. a chance to see more of the world than I had ever seen. favorite flight: SEA to LAS
Froggie Air- thanks fir the comraderie and the airplanes you painted..the group was amazing and I really issues our online time together. favorite flight: DEN to SEA
CP Air- you did me a favor, you allowed me to fly my favorite aircraft the 737-200. Most va's don't have that aircraft in their list of aircraft. You allowed me to see the bright orange colors everyday. Favorite Flight: YVR to YYZ
DHL-Thanks for allowing me to ship cargo to various places around Europe and all over the world. favorite flight: DDP to GLL
Air Florida thanks for allowing me to fly the gator infested airways of the state of Florida. Favorite flight: MIA to MCO
Peerhoven.-one of the funnest va's that existed fir a short period of time. Thanks for the best flights I've ever had. Favorite Flight: DEN to LAS
Ozark-for touring the central plains and others. Thanks for the friendly greetings and people I met. Favorite Flight:STL to SPI
Aeromexico. Thanks for allowing me to finally fly to and from the warmer places in the world. Only with you a short time but a good time. Favorite Flight: MMMX to LAX
Southwest. That's a fun experiment that sees me flying to all the places southwest flies...(only lasted 3 months). Favorite Flight: JFK to ORF
Virtual Westjet-thanks fir allowing me to fly the 737-200 and others. Thanks for the friendship and comraderie. And for allowing me to criss cross the country and visit my home airport and others close by. Favorite Flight. YXU to YYC
EasyJet-My late night "confection perfection". Favorite Flight: GLL to OWI
Buffalo- thanks for allowing me to fly the good old warbirds and getting to know more of the barren and deep seeded places in canada. Favorite Flight: YZF yo YHY
Private flights...been fun touring the world and seeing the sights and doing 3 world tours.
That's it for when it comes to flight simulation and the Virtual.airlines that pair nicely to them.
It won't be a permanent leave but it is a more gracious leave as I say goodbye to all of these for the time being. Some have me on inactive and that's fine I have no problem with that but most I have left or moved on from and wanted to thank for all those years if happiness flying the "open skies".
Thanks for the fun

what used to seem like a cheat..
After the release of FS2004/FS9 people used to think the no-cd patch was a scam and a redacted program and was talked about being some sort of pirated software...
but that changed in the last decade or so and now its just a program that is used to allow users to use 2004 without CD#4. It works like no big deal and should be fine and not illegal....
its free, and on quite a few websites and by now you should know where to source it
Simviation
Flyawaysimulations
Flightsim.com/Avsim
please make sure you download this file and use it
overwrite the fs9.exe in your fs9 main folder...
you are now using fs9.1
Working with scenery.cfg file and errors....
I've seen some posts online taking about the errors that sometimes load up when fs9 starts and it seems to take a bit of time to find out why it's giving you the error and as some forums you have to wait untill someone who know to help with that error as most don't know the answer...
If you get an error on load up of he sim please note that it could be fixed with one of these two options...
But first a word of advice there are two variants of the error 1 is a number and 2 is the name of the airport or scenery area
To rectify this errors you must load up scenery.cfg which in older msfs versions like 9 or x (which is in your main sim folder) ...
Load up fs9 or x untill you get the error or if you cannot remember then write it down or make a mental note*...
I.e "scenery.cfg file error.....etc.......it will actually mention either a number or a city/airport/etc area....select the text area for it and delete that area
*Note if you select everything and actually delete the list it will be created the next time you load fs9 or x.
The names and numbers are listed like this...
"[Area.xxx] (number is inside the brackets)
Title= (this is where you find name of area)
Layer= (don't worry about this, Idk what it's use is
Active=true (that's to show if it is live or not)
required=true/false (Idk)"
Anything that's listed iside parentheses that are giving errors please delete that text area and start fs9 or x again...if you see any errors that you didn't see at first still show up repeat the process and when you are done that...
Voila you've finished another tutorial from me
I d like to thank FlightsimJBS
Hes another blog i visit everyday or so. While searching for a rare fs2004 file i came upon his blog and have loved it since.
He posts everyday with links to files from FS9/FSX and P3D, most are files you've seen before but some are files so rare that it makes mundane days fall away!!
I've never been able to get in touch with him but id like to say thanks for linking these files and stuff for the last few years. If i can find a file anywhere using flightsim.com or avsim i will load up his blog and voila... you should see some amazing aircraft's he gets linked on his blog..
☝
All you need to do to get there is click this link
or click on the link in the sidebar!!
Happy flying! and thanks JBS!!
Keep Up the good work!!
sayonara squawkbox from early 2000...
so i guess it comes to this I've uninstalled this program and have no reason to use it ever again.. thanks to the group who made it and i hope we all learn from them...
squawk box came into the fs community in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a way to connect to vatsim, and allow us to enjoy the servers..
and just last year vatsim said they dont need people using it, so they retired it and there we go!!
thanks to the 20 years of service!!
its deeply important...
after all these years and counting that we still see questions about the fs9 no cd patch its aggravating no one knows...
the fs9.1 patch is available on the net, and the no-cd patch is on the net as well
since 2004 was released its incredibly stupid to think that once it was thought of as a virus and not allowed so its been like a feew years that its been ok to download it...
https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-2763/Flight-Simulator-2004-Update-v9-1
is the 9.1 versiom
https://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/flightsimulator2004acenturyofflight.shtml
and the fs9 no cd crack
It's kind of tough you know?! (The ongoing threat of loss to FS9)
I bet you have seen a lot of reasons not to use fs2004 because their is quite a competing compliment to the world right now as newer flight Sims are on the rise....if it ain't so big and vested 🤣
While we just focus on the here and now in this blog post..i tend to notice program and stuff don't work for it.
So I thought maybe I should list things and settings that no longer work for fs9
List is as follows:
1. Default fs9 deal weather no longer connects to jeppesen anymore..please read my previous post about real world weather..
2. Connecting with vatsim is harder if you are using older operating systems..since the good old trusty sqwkbx doesn't exist anymore and so u have to upgrade to 7 or so..and download a program called "audio for vatsim"
3. Certain virtual airlines have moved on to version 2 of smartcars as most acars are "almost" out of date...not yet thou..😎
4.....tbd
There are more but just don't worry right now

when working with [fltsim] part of the aircraft.cfg
...you must understand...that working alongside the aircraft cfg files, that everthing listed in the "title" and "model" and everyhing down to before the desription has to match whats in the aircraft folder for which aircraft you are working on.
Heres whats written in the default cessna 182
"[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna Skylane 182S
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N778WS
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation="White with green"
description="When Cessna saw how well their Model 180 was selling, they looked for a way to make it an even bigger success\s the answer was the Model 182. The Cessna 182 Skylane feels and acts like a heavier, more powerful version of its sibling, the 172 Skyhawk. The airplane is a workhorse and a stable platform for flying on instruments. Even with a full tank, the 182 carries a family-size useful load and performs admirably as an aerial sport utility vehicle."
-So that means the title is just for the name of the aircraft and doesnt need much of any other info
-the "sim= "is where you type in or copy the name of the *.air file word for word, and letter for letter
-model is not used that much as there arent too many fs aircraf makers that include a secondary "model file", if there is one in the folder you have just downloaded...type the nane listed on the folder after the period (ie model.pk) so the info you type here is "pk" (the sane way its listed on the folder).
-panel is where you can put the panel.xxxx info in, straightforward like i mentioned above, but if a creator never put any other folder for yu to moce or whatever you can just leave it blank
-sound is where you can most of the time let it be kept blank, or enter it like ive talked about above 9but thats a rarity to have to put in a sound.xxx folder...(ive never had to do that as mostly sound files are kept in sound folder inside of the aircraft folder)
*note some of these above can be kept blank as theres only a small about of creators fs2k2, 2k4, 2k6 that even try to add other folders (its soooo rare)
but not with this one
- texture is where you will be enter the info after the "texture.'xxxxx' " and you must make sure the texture folder and the info youve written here is exact, as any spelling mistake may make you feel lost,you can always copy and paste if need be so theres nothing ba... yuo can always rename the folder but if you do, theres aleays got to be checking out and making sure it maries up!!
you can do whatever yuo want with the rest but most realists and everyone alike may want the name of the aircraft and the model to be correct but its only up to you...
90% of the time most texurte and model creators will have a copied info copied into thie txt file in the readme or other file in the zip or rar file you downloaded...
last but not least the [fltsim.0] for each entry you are putting in, has to be in sequence, most fligtsim aircraft creators will include their own aircraft.cfg file that you can add to, and continue as far as you want...
i currently have 35, 737-200 textures (half came wiith the tinmouse version i got years ago, ) the rest are ones ive downloaded so you can get quite alot!! theres no need to stop thinking the file size is too big as most cfg files are way back in the KB file size..
this information might be one of what you see all over the internet im just giving it here as a better chance to talk about things!!

Computer with fs9 is wreaked for now
If you have been wonderimg why no screenshots just yet at all of my major screenshot sharing sites...its becaudse the computer i use to play fs9 isnt workimg and i have been workimg a long while to get it fixed by myself but i think its about time to send it in..
Sorry of that soumds like im giving up but...oh welll
i have no problem with this unless...
i dont mind that people want to make flightsim addos more updated and amke games more of the same.. some games lik doom (ive been playing a dozen times) just has recentyl got some new remakes of it over the last few years
if that idea were to come to the fluightsim 2004 or just the flightsim community as a whole, i would be impressed, if like, you took a few old 2004 files and made them new...like since they came out nearly 20 years ago.. or so...or to take a fs98/fs95 aircafrt and update them to fs2004 standards...id acatuialy be happy...
but lets take mike stone or kazanori ito's aicraft...we cant just remake them without making sure we remeber what they did getting us here, in set like the posky 757, he made a 757 with nearly as much paintjobs but posky exploede onto the scene and there you go we adopted ther posky one but have many cheered on mike stone and told him that ehy liked his aircaft? not sure but i hope you all have!!
if we foreget all the peoopke that got at least a model and a few repaints we should remember to thank them for their time. it would be like a person made a model of the whole of the city of paris and someone came in to look at it and said "i have a whole model of the country of france" now the whole fight might seem like they cant get along but they are within their bbounds and hey they certauly made some nice models but lets hope they rember that one made a model tyhat would help others see a city properly and we can see what it looks like and hope w rmem,ber who started out that project.
thats all im talking about...it would be terrible to think we never could rembemnber who kzanori ito was while tons are making the same aircraft models for newer sims...
please and thanks!!

some BGL files to remove and fix some problems
so a freind of mine created a scenery for fs2004 with the airport code of CLC2_Chapekskie Field and it comes with two seasons that you can add when you want, but most people dont want it that way..
i was wobdering why in the summer the scenery is set to winter when its summer and havent flown out of it lately but i wnt into the addon scenerry and found the airport scenerty in a folder and..deleted a file called "CLC2_ADE9_ADE_TER" and that allowed me to load up the airport and have no problem year round!!
so please delete that file and...
if you still have porblems with a scenery in that close vicinty like my glider airport scenery with a fictional icao, londion soaring club.. if you have the one i uploaded to flightsim and simouthouse that included some other airports in canada and this glider airport then please delete the file in the origional file that i uploaded (mid 2010's) and go and re download the new version i uploaded after another airport someone made, the sim just crashed around woodstock and i figured someone wanted to have the file for anyone who knows knows about that it exists...
please notice this and it shoukl allow dacvid kolas cnm4 airport load up correctly

when posting screenshots to reddits and blogs and forums
..Especially from FSX because most people use fullscreen inside of windowed mode.. you gotta make sure you crop the shots ok!!
It's not hard to make a crop or edits to screens if they come out well, like the screenshots toward making it seems like you're really there so keep in mind to crop screens when you start seeing menu's and taskbars show up in screenshots..
Requirements
It's not hard to make a crop or edits to screens if they come out well, like the screenshots toward making it seems like you're really there so keep in mind to crop screens when you start seeing menu's and taskbars show up in screenshots..
Requirements
- Paintshop program of any type
- The screenshots you've taken
- Places to upload ie discord/flight sim groups etc
Most of every common image editor is the cut paste and crop tools, it doesn't take long to do any of these edits and isn't even considered when large groups ask if it edited... mostly they ask because of "blooming effects" and other very caustic and very interesting edits but they will never care or worry if a photo has been cropped at all since you took it!!
All you have to do is load the image of an aircraft worthy to edit and crop per se, into an editor, there's a free one called paint.net and I'm not gonna give you the URL cause it's too confusing...just search paint.net on google...older operating systems (Vista, XP) you can only use paint.net 3.5.11 as its the only one that will work...some plugins for added effect will only work on newer but you may get some that come out that work with that
- ok open your images in paint.net, photoshop6, or whatever
- select the area you want to keep, so select the aircraft and scenery and everything above the windows taskbar and below the FlightSm X menu (FS9ers, you don't have to worry about this unless you re in windowed mode as well).. and once you have the desired selection open the menu and hit crop button!!
You're done!!
Now rinse, rinse repeat as many times as you like!!
and in case you didn't follow or this was hard to read/understand here's what I mean!!
(the line above and ones you've seen in previous years is just more for elders and people with bad eyesight or ones that find it hard to read for things for so long..
"can you use flyable aircraft as custom ai" i hear alot of flightsimmers ask...
well, some come off talking about this idea about making that happen as if its not possible like on avsim post below, from user hjwalter
I find that it is the exact opposite as is mentioned above, I've been able to do that the way you could consider it for nearly 15 years...if I cant find a model for fs9 I will find an AI model, copy in a panel and some sounds and viola...
but that's only to make ai planes flyable... I've also used them as AI, what some of them are designed for and also , and I have enjoyed them for just about that long.
some part of this post (above) os just talking about is using regular aircraft as ai, and a lot of simmers are agreeing that it's not advisable with this idea...but I've done it with rare problems..there are here and there but normally its just odd to say stuff like this...
as John Hinson on the avsim forums said before I was able to chime in...
even with that said its hard for me to have even seen that happen exactly like john said...like where it distorts stuff...really rarely thoigh...!!
heres the link to the post...and see what you have to deal with

"Flight Simulator 2004 has huge abilities these days with modern computers which are far more pwerful than what existed in the days when it was first released.You can use most non-AI aircraft for AI if you don't overdo it.Be aware, though, that advanced models may have performance features that are incompatible. I have seen the odd aircraft that won't take off but continues in a straight line across the ground at the end of the runway, and indeed ones in the air that just won't turn in accordance with the controller's instructions and keep getting repeated instructions to change course.Both can probably be fixed by exchanging the air files, or certain content of the aircraft.cfg with an aircraft that flies properly.The answer on behaviour is to try it and see for yourself.John"

dear all fs2004 aircraft painters...
it has come to my attention that many fs2004 painters are using DXT3 files instead of the BMP 8-8888 file type for fs2004 aircraft repaints and its either I haven't found enough to figure how to let or allow DXT3 files to show up or I don't know how to use it that way...
I usually have to convert textures from DXT3 files to 8-8888 bitmap file and I'm really getting tired of this! if you are making textures please stay with BMP type 8-8888, please!!

FS9 Default Sceneries in these areas are still behind of the days..
as I continue to download lots of scenery files at least each and every other day, I notice there are some major airports that have not gotten an upgrade from being defualt, in like almost 20 years
places like (freeware searching only)
places like (freeware searching only)
KORD (almost finished)- RJAA
- KLAX
KPAE(finished this summer)KRNT(finished this summer)- KBFI
- KLAR
- CYXS
...and many others... there are some quite good quality sceneries but are payware, I'm only freeware based...if it occurs there are only 1 item of an aircraft, scenery located on the net then I will buy it but not like this all the time. I try to stay freeware for as long as I can!!
if anyone finds any for fs9 (free) in the future comment below, or if you know me online as darrenvox and can find me either "dm" me or send me a note somehow...even Facebook message me at some point...id like to see them being updated at some point!!
or if you are a scenery designer, do those at some point!!
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

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

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
