a few questions

[AeroJim]

ok from the fs2k4 topic i have a few questions,
a) how in the hell do you make it so the planes don't dissapear when waiting for take-off, taxiing, etc.
b) how can i make it so the airplane liveries are not so damn blurry all the time (where did every1 get the great SWA and ATA liveries??)
c)how did that one guy with a DHL plane make black smoke emit from the engines when in trouble, simply amazing photos.

Well, I assume you mean AI traffic that have been waiting forever. There are a couple of way, neither of which is foolproof. The first is to
turn down your traffic levels. That way, there shouldn't be as much of a queue line at the runway and less coming in. The second, would
be to grab AI Smooth and try that. It will limit the number of planes allowed on approach at any one time and put the rest into holding
patterns slowly bringing them in. This should allow for a more "realistic" look as one lands, one takes off, one lands, etc, etc.

b) how can i make it so the airplane liveries are not so damn blurry all the time (where did every1 get the great SWA and ATA
liveries??)

Try turning up your graphic settings. Global aircraft quality is one that comes to mind as well as use trilinear filtering.

It's probably written into the aircraft's files itself. I don't know where to put it (maybe someone else can help with this) but you just turn on
the smoke like you would in an aerobatic "skywriter."
