FS2004 approaches, ATC etc by
henri Arsenault
I played around some more with FS2004 last night. The ATC is much
improved, and you can now see approach plates in the GPS moving map
display.
However the approach plates are not complete. For example, the
approaches to LAX do not have all of the legs of the approaches shown in
the plates, and...

MS FS 2004 ---minimum equipment for IFR by
Gerald Sylvester
I just got my PPL and heard from some ATP rated friends that using
MS FS 2004 could help a bit for getting down some of the navigation
techniques for IFR. I figure for $50 that is about 25 minutes in
a IFR GPS equipped plane.
What is the minimum equipment *really* required to use MS FS...

FS2004, fix for hypersensitive rudder? by
K
anyone?
This is annoying me in the extreme, despite having the sensitivity all the
way down the slightest movement on the rudder almost spins you off the
taxiway especially with the Cessnas. Trying to stick to the runway
centreline is almost impossible with the slightest crosswind. FS2002, which

All feedback stick users....read this! by
FaxCap
Hi All
I bought a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 stick about 5 months ago.
On the whole I was very disappointed with it especially with FS2004.
I had e:mail contact with the MS FS2004 team which lead nowhere.

feedback sticks. Not...

FS2004, have you "looped the 747"? by
John Doe
Reading. Microsoft mentions "looping the 747".
I have looped the LearJet in Flight Unlimited III but doubt I could ever
loop a 747.
Just curious.

I'm a new X-Planer, and I've been having a lot of fun flying various
aircraft from Spitfires to 747's to and from Vancouver International

(depending on the aircraft), but I often have trouble stopping the
aircraft after landing....

Secret Fuel Procedure FS2002 by
Doug
A guy I work with told me you can fly over an airport at night and
look for a lit up yellow square, then land and go there and park in
the square and you will get refueled. I couldnt find out anything
about this in the help files, so I was doubtful, I always adjusted
fuel through the menus. Anyway...

Mark Cherry
Hi all,
Did any of you who got as far as starting the install of this notice the warning
that it can't be uninstalled?
Does anyone know if it's a 'beta' version of some kind? If so, the webpage
doesn't say so.
If it's not uninstallable, what happens if the PC is a disaster area after the

FS2004 ATI/Radeon Driver Problem by

I have got a bad dose of the Radeon problems mentioned in a lot of posts,
the "bleeding" text, which although a pain is not the end of the world, but
the"swimming" scenery on my machine (High end Dell, 512mb, Radeon 9700 pro
128mb) makes FS2004 almost unusable.
Some folks on Radeon drivers have...

I have a new monitor coming for my system and before I sell the old
one I would like to hook up both to my PC and run FS9. The video card,
