Good joystick for MS FS2004? by
Andrei Dumitrescu
Hi folks,
To my greatest surprise, my girlfriend got me the Flight Simulator
2004 for Christmas. Though I didn't touch one for years, I've always
loved flight sims and was eager to try out this one - only to find out
that it's a real downer with only the keyboard and mouse. I'm looking
now for a...

Value of rudder for MS Flight Simulator by
Darrell Criswell
How important is the rudder to making Flight Simulator a realistic
experience. I want to use MS FS to assist me in taking flying
lessons. I wonder if the rudder will make the training more realistic
or does it really matter.
Thanks

scenery files for FS. I have seen scenery files (such as in Lago) in
which the object is a flat (one demensional) photo of a person which
can be placed anywhere. What kind of files are these and how does one
go about making a...

What's the best OS for FSim? by
[email protected]
I have some progs which will only work with Win98se and others which
only work with XPpro. Since I use both OS is there a preference, when

Thanks,

Simulation Rate in FS2004 by
RobertS975
One can change the simulation rate quite easily in FS02 by clicking + or - on
the clock. How does one do this in FS04 without going to the menu bar options?

Not much here by
Quilljar
I have been monitoring this news group for about two years now and it has
gradually dried up. I will say again, you will get much more help at
alt.games.microsoft.flight-sims. This applies whether you are using a
microsoft sim or not, or even if you are a real life pilot. You will...

Parhelia Pilots by
Quilljar
A couple of us are suggesting that those who use the Matrox Parhelia with
either two or three screens might like to congregate on
rec.aviation.simulators to exchange information and tips. This is a
newsgroup that has been getting very quiet recently and we hope to jerk it
back into life. We thought...

Matrox by
boB
Thanks all for the advice. I'll look into the Matrox web site. I have
been doing some experimenting with using my 2 monitors as a flight
screen. If I use the 19" for the fwd view with an undocked window
showing fwd/left view on the left monitor it does give an acceptable
view out the left side....

A suitable way to go on this NG? by
Quilljar
Maybe we could recommend unusual and different Flight Sims which can be
obtained either on the net or retail. For example I am very keen on
Microflight by Ilan Papini which can be found at
Quality Simulations
