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 question about photo type files by Owleyes
First - I apologise for this question as I am inexperienced in making 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...

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?

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 www.hangsim.com --
