I downloaded above named aircraft, and everything went fine. It appears alright in the aircraft slecetion menu, but if I click fly! the game shutsdown... This happend to 2 more aircraft I downloaded...

Any idea what is causing this?

I think there's a clue in there somewhere

Luud ... have you ever considered doing a Google search before asking obvious questions in here?

[Allen_Z]

That was quite rude Harold. Of course you don't care, but it was rude.
Maybe something in the air in the Nowherelands, eh?

I think that we all slip up every now and then, but it would be nice to find a community where friendly help for even what some would consider the easiest problems would be prevalent. We can all miss "easy" solutions to problems at times, and I'm sure we all have. This community has been pretty good overall for help (the best I have seen actually  :), along with the SOH), but the sarcasm in the first response, and the pure rudeness present in the second makes it seem as if this community at this time tolerates no wavering in regard to flight simulator knowledge. I'm sure "Lordluud2" will be thinking twice before posting another question...which is unfortunate.

I know the members here have attitudes way above those questionable responses posted here, and have been kind and helpful in the past, so I can only hope that their comments were purely a slip-up on their own part, and that we will not be seeing this attitude spread around.

Come on guys ... lighten up!

Luud and I are both from the Netherlands and that is how we Dutch talk to eachother. We're direct people.
Although it might sound harsh or rude, I am sure that Luud took no offence in my remark. Even at 17.

If he feels otherwise then he can send me an e-mail or even call me as he has my mobile phone number ...

Of course I don't mind, but like I said, I'm not that much of an computer expert, so little problems can become big ones for me... I understand that I ask a lot, and that my question may seem a littlebit simple, or just enoying, but this is the place where all the experts are, so why not just ask..? If people do not want to response, then thats fine, I can respect that, but it would sure help me if they did.

Now that I know that it's probably just a minor issue, I can fix it, and of course use it for future problems...

By the way, things have to get really ugly before I get offended  ;D

Well... You could call it spam if I posted it and never looked at it again. But, I really want that damn aircraft to work, so thats why i'm asking for help. That I missed something was just stupid, but that's me...

Are my posts that terrible...?  ::)

I think if I was experiencing too many exasperating problems, and getting generally unbearably frustrated in understanding the ins and outs of Flight Simulation which is affecting my overall life, and sanity.....

..I would take up Fly Fishing, as a hobby, instead... ... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF.... 8-)...!

......LOL.... ...!

...just be forever grateful that you are not trying to run FSX... ... ... ...!

Nothing wrong with your posts. I think dave3cu already answered your question. Perhaps it was a little too cryptic.

IMPORTANT!
===========
You MUST also insert the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' in the Main FS2004 folder, otherwise you will experience an FS crash!!

Note the typo in the Readme instructions. The file is named GaugeSound.dll
Paste the above file into your FS9 root directory folder, NOT FS9\Modules.

I already have FSX installed lol... But, FS2004 runs much better, and I only play FSX because of the missions  ;D
