Quilljar As promised I have prepared a webpage illustrating the two routes for 2D panels using the Parhelia - Please note that both require some work on them. Where a Virtual cockpit is supplied with the aircraft, then that is the preferred route: but this can be difficult in phases of flying such...

Thanks all for the advice. I'll look into the Matrox web site. I have been doing some experimenting with using my 2 monitors as a flight screen. If I use the 19" for the fwd view with an undocked window showing fwd/left view on the left monitor it does give an acceptable view out the left side....

A couple of us are suggesting that those who use the Matrox Parhelia with either two or three screens might like to congregate on rec.aviation.simulators to exchange information and tips. This is a newsgroup that has been getting very quiet recently and we hope to jerk it back into life. We thought...

I sent the following message to the group but it never made it AFAICS. So I'm repeating it - I apologise if it's a repeat Quilljar As promised I have prepared a webpage illustrating the two routes for 2D panels using the Parhelia - Please note that both require some work on them.

I have been monitoring this news group for about two years now and it has gradually dried up. I will say again, you will get much more help at alt.games.microsoft.flight-sims. This applies whether you are using a microsoft sim or not, or even if you are a real life pilot. You will...

One can change the simulation rate quite easily in FS02 by clicking + or - on the clock. How does one do this in FS04 without going to the menu bar options?

I have some progs which will only work with Win98se and others which only work with XPpro. Since I use both OS is there a preference, when using Flight simulator 2004, to achieve best performance? Thanks, David

First - I apologise for this question as I am inexperienced in making scenery files for FS. I have seen scenery files (such as in Lago) in which the object is a flat (one demensional) photo of a person which can be placed anywhere. What kind of files are these and how does one go about making a...

How important is the rudder to making Flight Simulator a realistic experience. I want to use MS FS to assist me in taking flying lessons. I wonder if the rudder will make the training more realistic or does it really matter. Thanks

Can you find a computer that will give good performance for around 500.00? Any suggestions on where to find the best deal? Happy New Year Thanks in advance, Jon

Hi, How do I get the Visual Flight Path so show the final leg of the landing exercise in Private Pilot Lesson 5. Air Traffic Control. I get the Visual Flight Path at 2000Ft and not giving any glide path in tune to the ILS for landing. I have selected all the options including the path to...

Hi folks, To my greatest surprise, my girlfriend got me the Flight Simulator 2004 for Christmas. Though I didn't touch one for years, I've always loved flight sims and was eager to try out this one - only to find out that it's a real downer with only the keyboard and mouse. I'm looking now for a...

I recently got a PMDG 737 - 600/700. I never functioned correctly, and I wrote the customer service department. No replies for my requests for help. I finally got hold of the PMDG bigwig, and he is a real Asshole! So don't buy anything from PMDG. They do not provide help with problems, and only...

In two of my aircraft in fs2002 pro, I have problems tuning my nav radios. The King Air won't let me tune my ADF to the right of the decimal point, and I can't tune either nav radio on my BAe 146. Is there a way of sorting this out? Is there a config file I can alter and if so what do I do? Any...

I've been flying the 185 getting use to watching the instruments and trying to figure out the radio navigation. Any pilots out there now how it compares to flying a real 185.

Looking for schematic diagram for USB multi-engine throttle quadrant. How to change a stick with gameport connector that it can be connected to an USB port?

I see lots of Force Feedback joysticks and racing steering wheels advertised but not a force feedback airplane yoke. Does such a product exist?
