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!!


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..

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

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...
