MS FS 2004 ---minimum equipment for IFR by Gerald Sylvester
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...

FS2004 approaches, ATC etc by henri Arsenault
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...

Engine throttle by Bob Ingraham
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....

FS2004, have you "looped the 747"? by John Doe
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.

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...

FS2004, fix for hypersensitive rudder? by K
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...

MSDOS FS 5.1 runnable under Windows 2000/XP? by Bill Wolff
Feeling nostalgic... I installed FS 3, 5.1, and 98 again. I also have FS2, but that one I have only runs on a Commodore 64/128. And my FS3 came on a single 720KB floppy. And boy is the detail in this version very barren! About only 8 buildings around Meigs Downtown Chicago). Grant Park is just a...

Secret Fuel Procedure FS2002 by Doug
A guy I work with told me you can fly over an airport at night and look for a lit up yellow square, then land and go there and park in the square and you will get refueled. I couldnt find out anything about this in the help files, so I was doubtful, I always adjusted fuel through the menus. Anyway...

Hi all, Did any of you who got as far as starting the install of this notice the warning that it can't be uninstalled? Does anyone know if it's a 'beta' version of some kind? If so, the webpage doesn't say so. If it's not uninstallable, what happens if the PC is a disaster area after the

FS2004 ATI/Radeon Driver Problem by tfp ntl
I have got a bad dose of the Radeon problems mentioned in a lot of posts, the "bleeding" text, which although a pain is not the end of the world, but the"swimming" scenery on my machine (High end Dell, 512mb, Radeon 9700 pro 128mb) makes FS2004 almost unusable. Some folks on Radeon drivers have...

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.
