In FS2002, when flying IFR with ATC, on approach I am given vectors to a particular runway at any given airport. Is there any way of requesting a different runway?

I've got FS'02 and wanted to change how my aircraft are organized within the game.

This is a repost from December 29 to the microsoft.public.simulators newsgroup. I really need help on this one, please. I've not been able to solve the problem and haven't got a clue what would have caused it - corrupt file? Please note I don't have gyro drift active in the FS2002 realism settings....

First, thanks to those who answered my last question. I have a couple of questions regarding the time settings, first (even though I have checked the "system time" box, my FS clock does not keep the correct time.

I have recently acquired FS2002 but none of my panels are showing the SimIcons, which I am presuming are those little symbols on the panel which open the GPS and other windows? Are the icons available somewhere?, or are they a feature of the 'Professional' version - I only have the standard one I...

Hi, Is it really so hard to crash C172? On FS2002, I land with quite high vertical speed (-2 or -3), the bump and the sound is rather "hard", but the plane is OK. Of course, I have set "crash tollerance" to max. reality. I even once lande successfuly with vertical speed -5. Is that possible on a...

I was at the holding position at Aberdeen (Dyce) airport (EGPD) last night waiting for an aircraft on finals to touch down. Looked in its direction as I like watching AI planes land. This one bellyflopped about 300ft from the end of the runway and immediately disappeared... :O( Is it unusual...

Where can we go these days to fs multiplayer? I use MS FS 2004

Just played the demo a little and so far I'm not impressed. I've downloaded quite a bit of things for FS9 so I guess I'm jaded. So far FS X doesn't do it for me. Maybe the real version will be better?
