Hi Now with more time on my hands, just got back into Flight Sims. In order to mimimise background progs running and slowing down any flight sim applications, I always start from a basic msconfig startup setup. With regards to Windows Task Manager however, I've never disabled anything, at the...

After trying MS Train Simulator and being so thoroughly disappointed with it, I haven't been into Train simming for a while. But it caught my interest again and thought I would give it a try again. It seems that Trainz is the current state of the art sim. But surfing around, I see that there...

Simply put, which one is better and which one should I get? Thanks!! Trace Lewis

Has anyone here purchased and used the software program 'TRAFFIC 2004' with FS2004 and if so, is it any good? If you wish to see this program advertised, you can do so on avsim.com. Thanks in Advance. -- Arthur Alspector

I recently rediscovered my favorite computer sim, Tracon. I used it in college, the college used it for ATC training. I loved it, that was several operating systems and PCs ago. I've been able to get Tracon II (or Tracon for Windows) running again on my Win XP but there is no sound. Can...

I can't find a shortcut for "THEN". I love this program. I had the DOS one and loved it, too. Seems like there were more tricks in the old one, though. Anybody else like this game? Jack Frost

Check this out fellow sim aviators (if you allready haven't) One friend recommended this to me and according to him ( and the videos behind the link ) ,it actually works ! This item is in my list of "buy next" If you ready own one, pls comment about...

Is anyone using this in FS 2004 ? I have been using this in Fighter Ace but cant seem to get it to work in 2004. Any ideas ?? I have downloaded the current patch Thanks Denis

Hello ATC buffs. I am not sure if anyone remembers a long time ago a simulation game called Tower? Well, I have been rewriting the software for the now Defused Bao/Wesson Corporation for 6 years now. I happy to share that now have a super ultra realistic Air Traffic Control Tower Simulation Game....

I bought Tower years ago, and still have fun with it. I've coupled it with GameCommander so that i can issue commands verbally. My question, is there any software on the horizon that is an update to this kind of program? thanks

I will be creating a Flight Sim user group in the Greater Toronto/Southern Ontario area. We are in the preliminary planning stages at this point, but some plans for regular meetings include: - Socializing - Product Demos - Live Tutorials - Multiplayer flights

I once had a little tool that could speed up the atc in FS9. Now I have forgot the name and google did not give me any help. Ken

Hi All Tom's Hardware has a big test/article up about the NVidia 45.23 drivers http://www17.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030818/index.html

I will shortly have a fairly new Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar complete outfit for sale; (now an extra for me) TM stick and throttle and a set of gameport CH rudder pedals that attach in series to the stick, complete with all software. This setup works either as a plug and play in XP using directx, or...

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association has issued some exercise tips for people who log a lot of hours on passenger jets. They often experience pain, especially on those long-haul flights in an economy seat. The tips include getting up and walking down the aisle to the back of the plane as much...

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,

I installed FS Real Time and makes a big difference in the changing of the time zones. They actually change! I noticed, though that leaving Miami for St. Thomas, that the time is the same. I seem to remember changing my watch when I went on a cruise to St. Thomas, but Real Time doesn't seem to...

Hi; Lately, when I try to advance the throttle on either CFS or CFS2, the throttle immediately retards. I can't remember any event that has caused this to start. This happens whether I bring up the engine controls (F5) and grab the control or if I try the keyboard. I noticed in the control...

OK...On scenery in FS2k2. I was bored last night, so I just went totally random (instead of the usual flight school stuff I usually do, since I just started playing this 2 weeks ago or so), and decided to fly out of an airfield close to home in Jersey, Atlantic City Int'l. I had all of the...

I'm starting flying lessons this week, and I'd like to have an accurate simulator to practice with as well. I currently have FS 2004, CH pedals, and a Saitek stick/throttle, and I'm looking to get a CH yoke. I just found out about x-plane and understand it has a very good flight model. I'll...
