Hi- Anyone else having problems downloading rel word weather updates???Keep getting an error message that my comp is not "connected to the internet". It is. Thanks Camster

I have not been able to download real world weather in FS9 for the last week. Has anyone else experiences this problem? I'm wondering if it could be something within my system. I'm using Zone Alarms firewall, and I've never had this problem before. Any ideas or suggestions, or similar...

I have tried to download the weather from the internal weather program today and it downloads fine and even gives me a large blue "L" where Isabelle is, but when I hit the fly now button the simulator hangs when it comes to" loading weather" portion of the start-up and gives me the microsoft...

I'm curious -- why don't flight simulators include an option to show real-time / real world traffic (now that these data are available)? The MSFS "AI traffic" just isn't good enough to capture my interest... It seems to me this would be a boon to flight simulation in terms of "realness" and to...

I am not sure why this worked out this way. But I turned of my firewall and presto-chango real weather worked in FS2004 even though it was working ok in FS2002 and the permissions in the firewall was set for accept "always" :cool: :oops: :mad:

Can anyone here talk to me abut the Realflight G2 flight sim. First, I need a review as to it's realism as it applies to flight charactaristics of heli's (and planks) but mostly heli's. I googled it and only came up with 2 reviews. One was negative and one was on the Reflight web page (biased...

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.

Has anybody used this addon for any of the planes in FS9? Is it easy to install? Does it replace the default GPS?

Hi' I cannot get it to work. Anybody got an idea ??? Happy Landings Benny

When you guys bought FS2004 was there some kind of mail in rebate in there if you already have FS2002? If so how much is the rebate and what do you have to provide to prove that you own FS2002? Thanks.... Doug

Is 'formation flying' over the net possible with any Macintosh compatible flight simulators? That is, can players hook up over the 'net and fly together? Are there any decent combat flight simulators for Macs? Yes, I'm looking for a christmas present for a friend. --

Good Morning: I recently donated my FS98 software to a local flying club, and was looking for recommendations for realistic handling AC models to run through IFR procedures. They 're primarily interested in solid LOC / ILS coupling (lock-on). Civilian AC; i.e.: Cessna, Piper, Kantana, Mooney,...

Is there a way to permanently record / save the FS9 Instant Replay (for instance, a landing) that could be saved for later viewing? If so, how would this be done? Thanks! --

does anyone play any flight sims on the network. ie Red baron 3d, CFS2 or WW2 fighters.

OK, I'm a novice at this. I have tried repainting an FSX aircraft by repainting the .BMP file used in the aircraft textures. After I save my modified file, FSX simply displays the parts of the plane I've repainted (in fact, any parts included on that image "sheet" as black. What am I doing...
