Hi guys... even though i'm sure this has been discussed earlier, searchin google groups produces only confusion :)) I'm interested in ATC sims but am not sure which are best. The Net is full of references to "Tracon" and "Tracon II", but it seems impossible to find any manual for the game. I...

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. Any suggestions on how to do this since I never used two before. I assume I just drag and drop to the other monitor? What...

I had this problem when I first started up. I Have a GeForce 4 with 128 Meg and the latest Nvidia Detonators Drivers. If you look in the News section of the interface, it tells you you have to have the newest drivers (44.67) to fix this problem. These drivers are coming out on the 31st but I...

My new mac has a low end video card that can't be replaced. If I get more RAM say and addition 512 will this help increase the frame rate and performance of x-plane on my system? -KB

anyone? This is annoying me in the extreme, despite having the sensitivity all the way down the slightest movement on the rudder almost spins you off the taxiway especially with the Cessnas. Trying to stick to the runway centreline is almost impossible with the slightest crosswind. FS2002, which i...

I'm a new X-Planer, and I've been having a lot of fun flying various aircraft from Spitfires to 747's to and from Vancouver International Airport. I'm now able to land more or less safely most of the time (depending on the aircraft), but I often have trouble stopping the aircraft after landing....

Hi All I bought a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 stick about 5 months ago. On the whole I was very disappointed with it especially with FS2004. I had e:mail contact with the MS FS2004 team which lead nowhere. Then I heard from a fellow who was writing a program to control force feedback sticks. Not...

Reading. Microsoft mentions "looping the 747". I have looped the LearJet in Flight Unlimited III but doubt I could ever loop a 747. Just curious.

I played around some more with FS2004 last night. The ATC is much improved, and you can now see approach plates in the GPS moving map display. However the approach plates are not complete. For example, the approaches to LAX do not have all of the legs of the approaches shown in the plates, and...

in 1970 national geographic had a computer issue (forget which month) that showed a flight simulator with graphics that looked pretty advanced for those days. does anyone know what system that was, and if it has been emulated?

HI pilots, Is it worth getting the expensive new boards like the Radeon 9800 or gforce FX 5900 ie. is there sufficient detail in FS 2004 to show off these boards?.......Comments welcome......Jim. N. London

I just got my PPL and heard from some ATP rated friends that using MS FS 2004 could help a bit for getting down some of the navigation techniques for IFR. I figure for $50 that is about 25 minutes in a IFR GPS equipped plane. What is the minimum equipment *really* required to use MS FS...

Is it me, or has anybody managed to download anything from fsplanet.com ? It was recommended to me as having very good quality panels, scenery etc. and it looks to be true as you look through their website. But I've been trying for about a month now at ALL hours of the day and night and got...

I don't know if this has been discussed or mentioned before, but I just stumbled accross the weirdest Microsoft FS2004 airport that I have yet to find. Try setting up a quick flight from Davis/Muskogee, Ok (KMKO) in FS9 using the default scenery. After takeoff, take a look around the airfield that...

Hi all. Just got this on Amazon for $27.00! wow great looking game! But surely there must be a way to use it without having disc 4 in the drive? The instx dont mention a way of course. Is there a patch that someone can point me to that works easily, as Im a computer hack.

Flying around Adelaide Australia in the Robinson, I saw cows in a fenced in area adjacent to a farm house. Anyone seen this or any other sorts of animals? Scet

Hi folks; Hope you can help me I have just installed IL2 Forgotten Battles but everytime i start it up it displays upside down on my system. I dont know how to fix this any suggestions? I am running it on a newly purchased computer with XP Professional, 2.8GHz CPu and 504 Mb of ram.

one needs a state of the art ultra high end gaming machine to run this FS2004 PALES in comparison to FS2000 thats right FS2000 Save your money

History: Years ago, I had some nice experiences with FS5, sing a gameport, but I sought more pilot proficency realism. So I bought Jeppesen's Flight Pro 6.0, upgraded to 6.2, to get IFR practice. I got it to work about half the time using a Wingman Joystick on USB. It required the retail CD...
