I have just Purchased this sim & i find it difficult to get on with. Does anyone else think the same ??

Airbus released its new plane today, wonder how long it will take to see the sim version.

Hi, Is it really so hard to crash C172? On FS2002, I land with quite high vertical speed (-2 or -3), the bump and the sound is rather "hard", but the plane is OK. Of course, I have set "crash tollerance" to max. reality. I even once lande successfuly with vertical speed -5. Is that possible on a...

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 using Flight simulator 2004, to achieve best performance? Thanks, David

Hello I have been having a problem with FS these last few days. I run fs under xp home with a crapload of ram and a good video card. I get this error if I try to task out or quit fs. "The procedure entry Point Get currentthread could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll" I...

I wanted to reply to a thread about someone asking about ATC simulators, but I haven't managed to work out how to use the newsgroups properly yet - so I apologise for starting a new thread. My husband has developed a new London Control ATC simulator. It's going to be released at the end of...

It's time to SHED some of the fs-related goodies I've collected through the years... http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3679584764 -- Daryl

I got FS 2004 and want to get a good joystick. I can't seem to find reviews. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Logitech Freedom (wireless), Force 3D (feedback) or the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 2 (which Amazon says is discontinued -- curious why). Can folks shed a little light for me,...

Just found these NG`s from my newest issue of Computer Pilot. "Dynamite Magazine". Anyway I recently purchased FS2004 and getting a crash on the initial startup screen. I go to "create a flight" and the aircrft type,airport, weather, all seem to take several minutes to load. The little display...

It seems like all the higher end sticks lack twist on the stick? The TM AfterBurner seems like the most flight-sim like that still has a twist and I love the TM software, but I've read a lot of reviews that the AB doesn't hold up. The main reason I want a twist instead of rudders is for some of...

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

Anyone try the above mentioned flight sim. It's very different from MSFS (which I also have). It's very cool and a ton of fun.

Every time I apply full thorttle the plane tends to go to the left, it doesn't matter if it is a 747 or a cessna, they both show the same behavior. Rudder Pedals are calibrated, wind is 0. what could be the problem?

Here's some tips which I hope prove to be of use in finding where it's coming from and...

I'd like some feed on this computer and suggestions for configuring it for COF if some owner has a few moments to tell me something about it good or bad. I'm especially interested in the company's service after the sale. Is it good or bad? Thanks much Dudley

At last,a worthy successor to Red Baron. The demo illustrates excellence in air and ground attack. I welcome the finnished product,and congratulate the producers ! "Mike G" wrote in message ... I gave it a try but it didn't like...

ATI has announced a resolution of the problem,after several months. They will let you in on the secret if you register a request for an explanetory email. I am still waiting !

Quick questions for you all, How many of you take the time and trouble to defragment before a major install like FS? Have you ever tried deactivating virtual memory, defragging, then re-enabling virtual memory? (To un-frag the swapfile, in effect) Ever had any problems specifying a fixed-size...

Hi Guys, Just bought FS 2004 this afternoon and loaded it up. Pretty good so far.... don't know what the issue is with bridges yet, they are all around Ottawa, Canada in about the right places! (FS2002 didn't have any) In any case the performance seems to be better at first glance. Just one...
