I am getting ready to buy my first flight sim package and was wondering about the quality of FS2004 vs Elite. Is one package noticably better than the other ? I realize there is a huge price difference in the two. Any input you could provide would be appreciated. Hank

A question for the Guru's out the I loaded FS2004 onto my new Sony Vaio PCG-GRT716S and got the black screen for my instrument panel. I know this is a driver problem but having shot off an E-mail to Sony asking when they would release an updated driver, the silence was deafening. The version...

I have a 1.4 P4 with 256 Meg and a GeForce 4 128 I am pondering upgrading to a P4 2.5 with 512Meg but wonder if just adding another 256 Meg of memory will be enough. My main gripe is the frame rate and stuttering. Sometimes the sim pauses for a few seconds. Opinions?

Is there any way to get the FS 2000/2002 pre-packaged flights into FS2004? I enjoy flying approaches into SFO, OAK etc in the FS2002, but in 2004 it seems everything begins with a takeoff.

When FS2004 is set to download real world weather at 15-minute intervals, if the program cannot connect to the Jeppesen weather server to download data an error window pops up and FS2004 pauses till OK is clicked to close the window. Why a pause has been programmed for this error I don't know. The...
