Having gotten my rudder-pedals set up, I fired up FS2002 with the idea of landing commandos on top of buildings in Manhattan. I surprised myself (though probably only I would have been surprised) by my ability to even get as close as I did to buildings. However, instead of touching down, I fell...

I've tried to land the plane on a short runway but there seems to be to much speed (60-70knts) Is there any means to reduce the speed more ? I have CH Flightstick pro. Is there any other means to reduce the rpm ? Thanks fore any help ! Pertti

HOLY FRICKIN' WOW! I just installed the Las Vegas downloads from http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/vegas.htm and it's almost like being there in a cartoonish kind of way. The people that created those scenery add-ons deserve all the praise that are definitely going their way. Holy crap...

Thrustmaster support has told me that a gameport to USB adapter won't allow my basic "Top Gun" joystick to work within Windows XP and my new, gameport-less computer. I'd already purchased the adaper before asking Thrustmaster, and yes...no luck. Is there perhaps something Thrustmaster isn't...

I'm a novice running FS2004 and trying to learn GPS. One thing that puzzles me is that I don't see the data of the actual location of the plane on the GPS display (or anywhere else). Shouldn't it display latitude and longitude of the plane's current position somewhere? In other words, where the...

Can anybody help me out with taking an arbitrary (lat,lng) pair and outputting a country code or name?. Ideally, I am looking for source code that I can wrap into my own flight planner, but anything that nudges me along in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

I'm looking to buy a 17 or 19 inch LCD monitor which must, amongst other things, be good for use with FSCOS. Does anybody have any recommendations? Cheers Sean Mc

Hi all..just loaded our first flight sim (fs 2002). Seems like a steep learning curve. Picked up other sims so I imagine it will take some time. Taking my first flight I missed the runway altogether attempting to land. Wish me luck.. DC

Hi, is there anywhere a good simulator software for flying the LEM from moon orbit down to the surface? I remember a very archaic monochrome computer game more than 20 years ago. But is there something of the quality of the MS Flusi or similar? MS

--Has anybody purchased this package yet? What do you think? I had it for a week now. Still going thru the manual figuring the systems (FMS) and how to use it. The model flies quite good. Only beef, they do not have a landing view, so you need to use shift-enter to change you view point.

Has anybody developed or got the UK London Heathrow Sector for Tracon for Windows they are willing to let me have Please

I came across a "flight test" of X-Plane v7 today, embedded in an overall review of the simulator. This test was performed and written up by a real-world pilot... You might find some interesting things in there in terms of how X-Plane does and does not model real-world aviating. Here is the flight...

Following some discussion on one of these NGs about how gadget minded so many of we Flight Sium enthusiasts are, I would like to recommend very strongly to you all a fairly new subscription magazine called 'Living With Technology' which I have been reading. It covers all the aspects of technology...

Hi all, I have a problem with the freeware scenery of LKPR for fs2004. When I taxi into certain area's I get a building crash while there is no building at all. Can anybody help me out here? I did not install the docking system so that cannot be the problem.

Hi Guys, Newbie here. When I'm flying under IFR and ATC vectors me to the localizer, I can't seem to pick it up. I'm flying the Baron 58. Is there some sort of setting I need to make to receive the localizer beacon? Bob Curtin

Would someone please tell me how to easily find the refueling pumps at the airports without having to spend a half hour taxiing around looking for them in FS2004? In FS2000, they were always ringed by a flashing yellow square which made them easy to find. In FS2004, they are located in the...

Hi, Has anyone experienced problems running patch 1.12a over FC1.1? When attempting to launch Lock On WindowsXP crashes, causing the pc to auto-reboot. Rolling-back to v1.1 works o.k. again. Cheers.
