Simviation Forums

Hey guys im new to the 2004 version. I have a few questions about the game. First, how do you download new planes i mean when u download them where do you save them? 2nd. How come on the box it shows the little teminals or walkways coming out of the airport and on the game they dont have them. 3. Does anyone know what website to visit to set up virtual airlines. and what airlines are availiable.And finally why dont they have the little speed time adavnce thing like in 2002. Like its always set at 1.0 and on 2002 you could go to 2.0 4.0 8.0 16. 34.0 64.0 128.o and on 2004 u cant. I know these are a lot of questions but your answers would help me enjoy nmy expirnece better

Hey Jeff, welcome...

Great questions.

THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS on the jet way thing how do you turn up the detail?

There really is no one website to set up a virtual airline.  My advice to all who are new with the VA world is to join an established one first, and get the hang of things.  Then move up the ranks and take on some responsibilities....then, after you've got some experience, set up your own website and start your own airline.  Good luck!

How do you join an established one? DO YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE ANY TRAING

Jeff,

First welcome......

Second, assuming we're talking about the same thing - simulation rate....

Go to options, simulation rate - just the same as in FS2002 ?

Select normal, 2X, 4X etc...

Good Luck.

Training guidelines are established by the individual airlines.  My best advice would be to check with a larger, more established airline.  (One that's been around at least six months should be fine.)

The problem plaguing the VA world is that it's tough to get an airline up and running...its very time consuming to start one.  Most airlines shut down within a month or so of launching.

Check out airlines like Westwind, Livewire, etc....most of the big ones have a good reputation and are easy to find.  

Do i just go to livewire.com or westwind.com?

Yeah you can do that.  Just google "virtual airlines" and a big list will come up.  The ones at the top are the bigger ones.  

ok now  do i need to do a yhting to get the jetways at lax? and do they have like trucks that drive a round and stuff?

I'll take this one....

In you settings menu there should be a detail scenery slider.  Increasing this will have more detail show up at your airports.

The settings menu is the first place you should explore to see what you have control of and get things set up to how you like them.

Enjoy FS9!

WOW THIS SITE IS AMAZING THANKS FOR ALL YOU HELP> ONE LAST QUESTION? IF I INCREASE THE DEATIL WILL ALL AIRPORTS HAVE THE JETWAYS AND TRUCKS?

In options there are slider bars for scenary and other things, that will increase airport scenary and other general scenary. But to get trucks and jet ways that are animated you would need to install new airports. The freeware ones i can think off that are good and include animated things are :

The real charles De gaulle
Bremen
and theres another i can't think of.

You'll find the above at www.Avsim.com

EDIT- Im far, far to slow

once at that site where do i go?

you'll probably have to sign up, then once you've done that go to "file libary" then search for anything you want.
