AVSim.com and Flightsim.com are still receiving FS9 repaints/scenery etc, at
least 4 to 1 against FSX.
There is a large hardcore of simmers, who is still clinging on, add in the fact
that todays machines are well beyond it's capabilities. The only letdown is the
eyecandy, especially when you have used FSX then go back to FS9. You can easily
run FS9 permanently in VC mode.
Just google FS9 tweaks, for a deluge of help. But with 4 core machines etc, is
it needed? it will still only use the one core anyway.
I have given up on FS9, basically because I cannot get it to recognize my
Saitek Pro yoke system, I have to use a standard joystick with it instead.
I take it you are using the FS9 IVAP, of course you are.

With running FS2004 it's amazing how things start come back from the depths
of memory.
Sitting on the apron I noticed a fairly reasonable 60fps but then I
remembered that I used to run the sim in windowed mode. Having found the right
key combination for this the transformation was immense and fps jumped up to
574fps.
Next task was another delve into the past as I noticed all the AI traffic
using US registrations. That brought back memories of Lee Swordy's TTools and
our fiddling with the traffic files. Unfortunately I've lost the traffic file I
created which replaced all registrations with those correct for the country of
the departing flight and which also had a lot more UK flights in it - correct
schedules, Hawks whizzing across the Irish Sea and l0oads of other additions
for Blackpool, Newtownards and the like. Sadly that lot is lost but I still
found Phil's amended traffic file for registrations and a copy of Ttools had
this installed in seconds.
I'm sure I have only just scratched the surface and it makes me realise that
we used FS2004 for such a long time that we applied a huge number of tweaks and
mods to the program. I'm sure I'll find more as time goes on.
