I don't seem to be able to get the default Fs2004 Cessna 172 up to normal cruise speeds. I max out at about 105-111 TAS at various altitudes. But from various Internet sources, it seems that the real 172 should be able to cruise at 125-140 kts. Anybody else bothered by this?

Are there any patches for FS2004? When is the next great FS2005 or whatever being released? I can't wait. JMN

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, ATI Radon 9800, supports 2 monitors.

On FS2K2 I have installed two controls: (1) MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB) joystick and, (2) CA Pro Pedals (USB). Rudder control with these two beasts fighting each other has been my main dissatisfaction with the simulator. What I want to do is to completely disable the twist control of the...

In two of my aircraft in fs2002 pro, I have problems tuning my nav radios. The King Air won't let me tune my ADF to the right of the decimal point, and I can't tune either nav radio on my BAe 146. Is there a way of sorting this out? Is there a config file I can alter and if so what do I do? Any...

I recently got a PMDG 737 - 600/700. I never functioned correctly, and I wrote the customer service department. No replies for my requests for help. I finally got hold of the PMDG bigwig, and he is a real Asshole! So don't buy anything from PMDG. They do not provide help with problems, and only...
