Would anyone be kind enough to email me an attachment of any very detailed and complicated Flight Plan that you have created with FS2004. I am trying to learn how to use the GPS and Autopilot with Flight Plans, and I thought if I had a flight plan from someone else that works real well, I could...

You're invited to download and test SDF - the real time six degrees of freedom flight simulation software at: http://www.newbyte.co.il/downloads/sdf.zip Fly the simulaton (ficteous UAV) with A/P on or disengaged, explore FCS automodes, try to land it and so on. If you happen to own...

I need a loading code for putting FS98 on the comp; any help greatly appreciated

Hi all, I recently installed a new hard drive a found myself with space to spare, so I tried re-installing some old software titles from the past. Unfortuanetly I could'n t get any of the sims to recognize my Saitek X-45 joystick/throttle. Would anyone know if there is ANY supprot for the following...

I'm wondering - maybe I should turn all these gyro realism off, as it is rather not important during FS training, not quite realistically simulated, and not very difficult, I suppose, to take care of in a real Cessna Umm. IRL, your instructor will train you to check the directional gyro with...

Hi A few months ago I found a homepage for a flight sim with lots of monitors - I think this guy had something like 15. Now I can't find it again. Anyone know where I can find it, or one like it? Thanks Tony

Hi All, While taxiing and undertaking a take-off roll FS2004 grinds to an almost complete halt with frame rates of 1 or less making things completely impossible to control. Literally as soon as the wheels leave the tarmac all returns to normal. The same happens as soon as the wheels hit the...

When I installed FS 2004 I used the full install method, but when I start the program it still requires that disk 4 be in the CD drive. How can I copy the contents of this disk to another location and point FS to it so I don't have to use a CD every time I run FS 2004? Thanks, Dave

In the early days of Flight Simulation, Mark Strawcutter managed the Indiana University of Pennsylvania's FTP service. This service was made available to the entire world-wide simming community for free. Not since IUP effectively shut down has there been a site or service available with the large...

I would like to find a simulator that will do acrobatics in a more or less realistic manner. When i was flying the real ones the most fun that I had was doing acrobatics. I have bought every version of MS Flight Sim and have taken them off the machine after a few tries, because they don't,...

Hi, I was just browsing this news group and noticed that FS2004 is now available. Yes I know I'm probably a little the times. Anyway, I've been using FS2002 for over a year now and I think it's great, but no doubt FS2004 is going to be better. The question is how much better and is it worth going...

Hi there, I would appreciate help with sites with information on making your own controls ... especially USB... and setting up your own cockpit. Comments from members who have done it would be most welcome. many thanks Hugh Roberton Melbourne Australia

Hi :) I'm planning a new PC. Because of the differences in the architectures of the AMD and Intel CPUs, I'ld like to hear suggestions about whether I should use a high end Pentium IV or a high end AMD CPU. (Not talking about the P IV extreme nor the AMD 64 - I never pay double the price for a bit...

Does anybody know if there are any seaplane/flying boat bases in the Pacific area in FS2004? I have seen lists of USA seaplane bases but many have no docks. Any info about any seaplane bases worldwide would be helpful. Thanks FaxCap

Hello everybody, I have lost my software for my sidewinder force feedback 2 for XP. I wonder if there is anybody who knows how to get it. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Jonathan.

Just installed the 76m mesh scenery for Europe, USA and Canada using the autoinstaller and FS2004 When I go to the scenery library, I can't see any new regions to add. How do I activate it? Anyone know?

Looking for a bit of help as I program my HOTAS for FS9. S (cycle views forward) and shift s (cycle views backward) include cockpit, virtual, tower and spot views. I don't find the tower view very useful. I'd like to program specific views in lieu of cycling to them. Are there discrete...

Don't know if it's been mentioned before but if you change the virtual copilot line in the FS2004.CFG file to =1 you recieve flying tips. ie power up with out releasing brakes and he lets you know how, stuff like that. May come in handy for some new players. Scet

It has been suggested over the years, for the sake of realism, that Microsoft should also model Interior Turbulence in the virtual cockpit of FS2004. This never happened. As many suggested, the virtual cockpit should not stay perfectly still all the time, it should shake and jerk around just a...
