The centenary of powered flight is being celebrated in December, and a lot of flight related web sites are running competitions. Check out www.flights4all.com who have three copies of FS 2004 to win (UK only I'm afraid). Ozzie

I am having a problem of v1.91 of ActiveSky occasionally making the winds aloft equal to the nearest stations surface winds. When you are up high and go from strong winds to surface winds it messes with your jet. Also not seeing the winds in the aloft block equal what I see on the aircraft...

I've just installed CH Pro rudder and pedals, gameport version, and can't seem to get the rudder control to work correctly. In the calibration area the rudder and throttle are both assigned to the Z axis and I'm unable to change it. Shouldn't the rudder be assigned to the "R" axis? The...

Hi all, I own a Thrustmaster Attack throttle, combined with a joystick (Top Gun?) and Elite rudder pedals. The joystick plugs into the rudders which plugs into the throttle. This combo worked fine with my old computer, but now I've upgraded to a new computer and run into some problems. 1. The...

I have FScof... and a decent machine to run it on... P4 at 2 ghz and 512 RAM... graphics are GForce2 with 64mb on it... Directx9 is installed, driver versions are 6.14.10.4523 I had been able to load and run just fine for a while, aside from a initilization failure after deleteing an aircraft...

Any opinions appreciated. Thanks for your reply. :

Thank you so much for including the dxdiag report with your support request. As you have stated...

The following was the original comment in this thread: "See Wired magazine: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,60830,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_6 People have criticized me in the past for suggesting that someone could learn much of the skills of piloting with FS, but it seems that I'm...

Hello Everyone: I was hoping that someone with more experience than I could help me with some questions/problems that I have with MS Flight Sim 2004. I have owned all of the FS since 4.0, and the one that has worked best for me has been 2002. A couple of weeks ago, I got 2004, and am quite happy...

I've just got X-plane, and am wondering what would be the best way to learn how to use the thing. I need answers to questions such as: What are the various instruments on the control panels. Is there a 'hint' mode, where floating the mouse above an instrument can reveal its name and purpose? I...

OK, fess up, your video card fan...when is the last time you actually checked it with regard to the small cooling muffin fan actually turning!? Well? When? Fess up! If you have, as most folks do, a 'tower' case set-up, then that decent bucks video card is no doubt facing 'downwards' .... and you...

In FS 2004 , how do I turn off or set the views so when I use the hat switch on my joystick and look out the side windows or behind me I can see everything. When I do this now I mostly see my own airplane. I remember in FS98 you could turn off a setting that made it where you didn't see your...

Anyone have a serial to make it take more than 10 aircraft
