I'm using a HP P4 3, 512 M Ram, 128...

I'm curious -- why don't flight simulators include an option to show real-time / real world traffic (now that these data are available)? The MSFS "AI traffic" just isn't good enough to capture my interest... It seems to me this would be a boon to flight simulation in terms of "realness" and to...

Hi, Is there any fix to the time zone issue in FS2002? It's not very good at recognizing when you change time zones. Thanks,

After getting my sim, I am very frustrated trying to find an active user's group to get some answers to basic questions. Am I in the wrong place? One immediate question: Is there some way I can identify airports as I fly cross country? js

Can someone recommend a quality helicopter simulator? (Yet affordable by an individual enthusiast/helicopter student) Esp. I am looking for one with Schweitzer 300C/CB/CBi (Hughes 269C) model. What do people think of the helicopter models in X-Plane and MS Flightsim? Thanks.
