There are a few planes i have that won't work in fs2004 the landing gear stays up is there a fix for this?
If these aircraft are older you will usually get an warning with a YES or NO request about the aircraft when the sim is booted. If you answer YES to the message you will disable animation and other functions. The fix is as follows:
******Make sure "hidden files and folders" is disabled in Windows!!!********
Open the FS9.cfg file in notepad. It is usually located:
C:\Documents and Settings\(YOUR ACCOUNT NAME)\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\FS9.cfg
1. Scroll down and look for a section called [FrameCallNoWarn]
2. Find your aircraft on the list, and change the "=0" to a "=1". Save the file, and load up FS9.
That should restore the animation other functions for the aircaft
