ALL FLIGHT SIMULATOR DISCUSSIONS IN HERE

[Kieran]

Nice shots. Maybe next time i can come with you =)

[bizzle]

i think i may have to get this game
it looks rly good.

[Kenneth]

Its good with addon.

[bizzle]

how much does it cost?

[Kenneth]

Not sure in the UK but heard its around 15-20 quid. Very cheap.

[lew!]

Yeah, i think i paid £10.
lol @ bizzle posting in every forum to get post count up.

[e5]

I like them screenshots. Very very good :D

[lew!]

LOL, at above, noob.
COMPLETELY Unrelated?

And yeah,
Is it hard painting and how long does it take?

[lew!]

Seeing as people on HxF have started doing flights online, I was thinking, why dont we have a weekly flight?

This could be the same time each week, same day, just different places.
E.G, Week one we could do something in england, week 2 something in france, week 3 something in spain etc.

Comments please?

[Kieran]

Good idea if you can arrange to organise everyone =)

[Kenneth]

Its easy if you learn, and set your mind to it.

[iAdam]

Lolzor it was a good flight, I did land on a runway but his FS didn't have it for some reason. That one of me taking off makes me look awful at flying, I did straighten out though. Might be able to run it again tonight, hopefully with more fuel.

Some shots arnt working might need a rehost.

[iAdam]

I was thinking maybe a tour around England but yeah we could do that.

[Recursion]

I would like to do this :D

[Kieran]

Is anyone free today at all?

[iAdam]

Might be free from eight I'll post later if I am.

[Recursion]

All day babes.

[Kenneth]

Im not because I live in the US:(.

[Kenneth]

They all work for me?!?!

[Recursion]

Stay up ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL night long :D

[Kenneth]

The thing is 3:00 here is 8:00 there and I get out of school at 3:03.

[iAdam]

Weekend flights only then.

[iAdam]

They all work now, lol at my message, outish, it was stuttering with little power but it shut off when I was slowing down.

[SATIRE]

Yeah I need Thomson.co.uk - but painters need special .eps files to paint with.

No you don't. If you're skilled enough, you can easilly take it from a photo - I've done it before.

The blue's a bit dark.. :p

Make it photoreal and add some dirt!

[iAdam]

Anyone coming this evening? I'll be at EGBN departing at 2005Z

[Kieran]

Departing in what?

[Kieran]

DJ-Simpson and I just did a big circuit taking off and landing at EGBN. I'm sure he'll post the route that we did. I was concentrating on keeping behind him because I had a faster aircraft so I kept having to circle round =)

Anyway, was a good flight. Here are some shots of it. I love number four for the graphics :P

Enjoy. Oh and I don't care if there are any jaggies. It happens, live with it :P

[Recursion]

Nice!!!

[Kieran]

And the title should read EGBN if a mod can edit it :P

[iAdam]

Good shots, I never knew you were that close!
Do you need the piper link? Looks like you have it.

Route was EGBN Follow the trent, over racecourse back on trent, over both football grounds, over Clifton, over ruddington then back to EGBN.

[Kieran]

Ye. I was VERY close :P
I actually barrel rolled over you at one point but didn't manage to get the screenshot in time :l

[iAdam]

Lol I saw that just didn't say anything as I was changing my underwear.

[Kieran]

Lmao, changing underwear whilst flying a plane :P
Did you see my loops right in front of you? xP

[iAdam]

No didn't see them, yeah it's a talented thing to do that, you gotta wriggle around a bit, good job I dont wear trousers when I fly. :D

[Kieran]

Not even going to ask why not. Lol




Why not?

[iAdam]

Just try it you'll see why. :D

[Kieran]

Doesn't your mum come in and think you're getting off over some plane pictures? :P

[iAdam]

Lolzor, jkjk.

Look at that engine oh yes.

[Kenneth]

Hey wanna fly right now again, Ive got nothing to do.

[The Professor]

Oooh, I live near there! I go sailing on the Trent. Unlucky about flying over clifton, its a horrible area, my dad used to work there.

[iAdam]

Yeah my gran lives there, It's got a bit better but still full of chavs.

Live in Nottingham Alex?

[cocaine]

im wondering why flaps are 40 at 200 knots, they should only really be on 5 at 200 knots..

but yes, ok shots

[Mr.OSH]

Nice interior of the plane. Some nice shots there, well done - I like them. :)

[Antony]

[Robbie]

Thats amazing, did you take that? ;o

If so, what graphics card do you have?

[Kenneth]

I have a 7950GT 256mb from BFG. Yes I did take it.

[Dentafrice]

Thats look great, FSX?

[Kenneth]

Nope, good ol' FS2004.

[HollyCharne]

FS9: War Edition is better tbh.

Never heard of it? :s

Doesn't bring up any results on Google.

Unless your talking about this:

[Adam!]

What part dont you understand? :p

There are a few people you can ask.. Me being one, Dan actually learnt what a fanstop was the other day :P - I guess it's just something people don't do on VATSIM :)

"Solo 5 request fanstop."
"Approved."

lmao.. should have been "Solo 5 roger fanstop approved, report climbing away" but heh never mind.

[lew!]

Hes trying to wind you up loool.

Not too bad, theres not much happening tbh, it would of been better if it was taken from outside the aircraft.

[iAdam]

I do fan stops all the time, scares the people at the airport anyway. Adam have you quit BAV?

edit; What happened there with peoples sigs.

Nope I'll still a member of BAV lol, ICC server must be down.

I've done a few fanstops in real life, they're boring tbh.. Rotate.. Old fella next to me shouts "ENGINE FIRE" so I go.. No we haven't? :S - And hes like, JUST PLAY ALONG WITH ME WILL YOU!!!

"Solo 5 request fanstop"
"Solo 5 fanstop approved, report climbing away humberside QNH 1028 milibars"

:D

Climb to like 200ft, establish the glide etc.. Full power, report climbing away :)
"Solo 5 climbing away"
"Solo 5 cheers, continue north westerly"

[iAdam]

Lolzors we know that now so we ignore him or relieve ourselves on his bonfire sometimes.

Nice shot, runway looks very small, you should take alot mroe with them graphics.

[iAdam]

Lolzors, they are pritty pointless as you wont be able to expect an engine fire so yeah no point in practicing what to do when your engine fails really.

[myke]

Pretty nice, your pitch seems to be a bit low though :<

[Dan!]

VATSIM yes, real life no.. In real you have to practice for whatever emergencies you possibly can, because they do happen.

[Dan!]

Hey guys wonder what long haul route you lot do hope no one fly on vatsim to Dubai Intl

[xxMATTGxx]

Man, you need to make things make sense more. But anyway well done?

[<?PHP>]

Wheres the best place to buy flight sim
-Whats the shop called (NationWide Please)
-Price
-Flight Simulator X Or 2004?

Also, could anyone link me to any tutorials for beginners?

[Galaxay]

Game :P

[<?PHP>]

How much?

[myke]

FS2004 if you have a pretty basic computer, and it's probably about £15.

FS'04 also has a lot more addons. (:

Good luck, need any help?
PM me, I'll be happy to introduce you

[<?PHP>]

Any ideas where?
I need places and prices people please :D

[Jackk]

dont know if this is what you mean, i dont play flight sim. just did a quick search at game.co.uk

http://www.game.co.uk/PC/Simulation/Flight/~r269510/Flight-Simulator-2004-A-Century-of-Flight/

[Kieran]

Ye, that's FS2004. Get that! :P

It's better ;)
More addons etc.

[iAdam]

Ok, Fs2004, you can get as good graphics with it as you can with fsx. Woolworths did have it for £9 but not sure now. Gamestation if not and it's about £12 when I got it last year.

[<?PHP>]

Thanks for that jack +rep
SyrupyMonkey, might pm you later...
Gonna buy it now :D

and so many more?

any help?

Can any1 upload or pm me dl link.

[myke]

You can get a 'no disk' patch off the net. try google :)

goodluck

[brandon]

I had this problem but then I found disk 4 in one of my old computers lol. There are a few torrents about that are separated into disks, so you could use uTorrent and just download the forth one.

Edit - SyrupyMonkey, you read what he said wrong lol.

[Xeros]

i have the no disk patch but how do i get it installed because it says Please insert disk 4 into drive E:

[<?PHP>]

I didnt, but recently been BACK to pc world

[Decode]

-ThePirateBay.com
-Price: Free
-Flight Simulator X Or 2004: Both

[Redacted]

ebay :D

[Decode]

Your no disk patch should have a file called FS9.exe, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9 and copy the FS9.exe file over the one that is allready there :)

[myke]

He has the game now (:

[<?PHP>]

Yah Guys, I have teh game

Hey i recently installed direct x 10 and now when i try running flight sim it sais the version of direct x you have is incompatible how can i sort this out ?

[Stephen!]

I take it your running vista, then. What did you use to update Direct X?

Edit: man i dont get this.. people post a thread asking for help and then they just log off straight away like they don't even care.

[lew!]

You posted 40 minutes after he posted his question...
he might of went to try and fix it.

[Robbie]

Are you running FSX or FS2004?

[Oleh]

I take it your running vista, then. What did you use to update Direct X?

Edit: man i dont get this.. people post a thread asking for help and then they just log off straight away like they don't even care.

If you look at my post time and yours there is atleast 30 minute difference , i have a life i dont sit patroling the forums everyday all day like you

On topic: im running fsx i downloaded the update put it in folder tryed installing and it spits out "Please use an english version" or something along the lines of that

Ok, if that's how you feel i won't be helping you.

[Luke]

Have you got FSX SP1 installed?

If not install, if you have

Install FSX Service Pack 2

If you already have, then use system restore?

[Oleh]

Ive installed sp1 just and it is still saying it :( although they same thing

[Antony]

I've done Manchester > Dubai > Perth (same route I do when I go to Oz with Emirates)

[iAdam]

Might do Heathrow-Dubai tomoz but now I have VRAF training.

[Firehorse]

Ive installed sp1 just and it is still saying it :( although they same thing

Try the sp2. I think that helps with a lot of performance bugs etc.

[Firehorse]

This guy has some very good shots, a whole website for them. Still not as good as some of habboxforum's members own edits :P

Hey mac users, well I've been searching for a flight simulation game for MAC for AGES. Finally I've found a free one with great graphics and is totally free! No demo like x-plane. Of course this game is no where near advanced as FlightSimulator but is great to learn to fly! You can download it from this link:

Was your posky model fubar'd? Mine didn't make sounds when in the cockpit and the flaps sound is mank.

[myke]

I didn't have any sounds (:

[Oleh]

if anybody would care to try and understand my post im saying it will not install its saying please use an english version on flight simulator all though they are both enu versions :(

[Recursion]

I can't help until I know if its Vista or not.

[Oleh]

yes it is vista and yes sp1 is installed

[Kenneth]

I had the same problem, all I did was downgrade from SP2 to SP1 and it was fixed. IF that has failed to work, reinstall?

[Scania]

POSKY usually only box their models anyway with the default sounds and panel. You can't complain, model is great.

[iAdam]

I'll post one in a bit, I got crap graphics though.

[Recursion]

Landed, disconnected etc...

Perfect flight apart from ATC made me descend a bit late but oh well, got down safely. I was so close to beginning approach... then I got a 5 minute hold :@ Oh well, Landed safely and stopped on a high speed taxi way and got told off, but luckily I was on text, someone got told off over voice and he sounded mad LOL!

Overall great ATC, loved it :D Might go back on for another flight LAWL.

Almost on the center line, thanks for the shot! +REP ^_^

(pic is bad qaulity because he took it from VATSAC TV or whatever its called I assume ;])

[iAdam]

Don't, There are some ATC in midlands starting to annoy the London controllers. *whistles*

Give us some traffic please!

[Recursion]

LOL, Someone wants traffic in the midlands eh? ;)

How are they getting annoyed haha?

[iAdam]

Well, we don't like a certain person down there, so we decided to annoy him and generally put him off.

[xxMATTGxx]

Well Done Tom :)

[Recursion]

Which controller? haha

[iAdam]

EGLL_N_APP all north arrivals have to go through him for gatwick, hehe.

[Recursion]

LOL, why don't you like him, what airport you at again babes? Ill come do some flight.

[Liberation]

Yye, I did as you know :]

[iAdam]

EGNX, GND is online aswell now.

HE is jsut the meanest person you could meet, he makes himself look busy by zigzagging vectors, he tells pilots dojey things to work out then doesn't tell you the conversion if you don't have the charts, numerous other thigns aswel..

[Recursion]

Well hes a noob in my books then xD

[iAdam]

Lol, He's a S3 new pilot mentor and a ATC Mentor.

[Recursion]

jeese, I would hate to have him as my mentor :|

[iAdam]

Are you coming? Just interested might be bale to get APP on.

[Scania]

I'll post one in a bit, I got crap graphics though.

I'll give you to 7:15pm (19:15).

Here are this weeks entries.

[cocaine]

1st deffo :8

[myke]

I chose number one, simply because it's not about the graphics; it's about the thought :)

[Scania]

Very true, the angle, the effect, not the graphics (well, not just atleast)

[cocaine]

err sam i wouldnt say its the angle..

[myke]

@Matt The angle means alot, what's the point in just taking a screenshot of the landing gear? It's not very aesthetically pleasing...

[cocaine]

no i mean the angle he's taken the shot at isnt very appealing

[Scania]

no i mean the angle he's taken the shot at isnt very appealing

Even if it is not, then you go on to think about scenery, effect etc. For example, showing the bulk of her is enough I reckon.

[iAdam]

Thanks for voters, are the people who took them allowed to vote?

[Hayd93]

i vote 2

[Scania]

Simpson, sure. Even if it is your own.

[iAdam]

Ok, Just thought I'd clear it up before I voted.

Is the contest running weekly? the sentence doesn't make sense, if so I can help some weeks.

[Recursion]

;o Im drawing Mike with four xD (yes I did vote for my self because im sad like that :()

[iAdam]

Same here, I'm not bothered about winning as I don't have paypal but I just wondered if I could have a chance of winning without amazing graphics.

[Recursion]

It's a close one... You never know, you may win ;)

[Scania]

Simpson don't worry. I have seen competitions on FSW, where its like the worst graphics you have seen, against full blown FSX. Its not the graphics that counts at the end of the day, it just makes it nicer.

Sorry if my sentence didn't make sence, the competition will now run weekly. The minute this poll finishes, the new entries thread will be set up and a new theme will be added.

[iAdam]

Meh, if I win I'm happy and Dan gets to keep his 50p if I don't I just keep trying.

[Scania]

I can't play flight simulator for now, due to my computer being away about 500 miles away. ;P Personally for me, its like withdrawl symptoms for me right now :| j/k lol.

[iAdam]

Has it broke or something?

[myke]

Good luck you two, & tom, you saddo! ^_^

[cocaine]

lol at it being 4 all

[iAdam]

Thanks, my simulator is being really slow at the minute.

Edit; We are all equal.

[Firehorse]

I voted 2 as it has a nice variety of different things.. the background etc.

Indeed I did and no problem.

[cocaine]

why are so many people on here using text :S
only me, dan, adam and dj-simpson really use voice lmao

[iAdam]

I'm not bothered, the only thing that annoys me is when a pilot cant recieve voice and he can't type properly.

I don't see it as a security risk it's not as if someone is goign to record your voice and search for it through a crowd of people.

What is this TV you talk of?

wd. btw

[iAdam]

You start a program on your pc called screen pusher then other people can watch your flight, great if you're controlling no aircraft and for training.

[Liberation]

only me, dan, adam and dj-simpson really use voice lmao

And me ;)

[myke]

@Matt Who cares if they use text? The feature wouldn't be there if it wasn't to be used.

[Recursion]

Ill bugger it up if I use voice :\ I like being able to look back at what was said.

[Recursion]

Myke, what sky you using there?
