Noticed that X-Plane is now shipping a Linux version along with their Windows version. Anyone running Linux?

Can U please recommend me some real simulation of air traffic control? thanks

Y'All, This is my first time on this group. I have close to 20 years on your companion group without the S aat the end. I also go back a while in simulators and flight instruction. I flew Link trainers for a couple of months waiting for a ship home after the war. I was the mechanic operatior of...

I'm practicing instrument approaches using Jeppesen's Flitepro. It's a good software package, but I just found out it does not work with Jeppesen's SimCharts v2.0 or v3.0. Therefore, is there ANYBODY out there who could either sell me SimCharts v1.0 or share a copy of it I would be most...

As a favor to a friend, I'm hosting a page that shows the cockpit mockup he's got for sale. It would be a fantastic start for the home cockpit builder. http://www.simpits.org/~geneb/a7/a7.html tnx. g.

Megascenery has been optimized to work properly http://www.megascenery.com/megabooster.htm. However, the catch is you need to pay $11 for it. Why in the world do we need to pay for the software package that's finally programmed properly?

I just got a new Dell that seems to lack a gameport adapter. Obviously new controls would be good - but I'm not so hardcore or deep pockets that I wouldn't prefer some way to hold onto my existing set-up (A thrustmaster FCS & WCS & CH non-Pro Pedals). I've seen multi-port adapters that plug into...

The following utility called F1 View has just been mentioned on another NG. It allows you to use the mouse wheel to zoom and pan inside the Virtual cockpit and in spot/tower etc view within FS2004. If you cannot afford Active Camera, this one is free and highly...

Hi I need some help. I have two flat monitors on order from Dell (they were cheap via work) so I need to get a graphic card for dual monitors. I have a Dell Dimension 8200 P4 2.4 1GB Ram AGPx4 and 400FSB and I am running a GeForce 3 Ti 500 64mb. FS2004 is OK but gets a bit clonky round the...

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.

On FS2K2 I have installed two controls: (1) MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB) joystick and, (2) CA Pro Pedals (USB). Rudder control with these two beasts fighting each other has been my main dissatisfaction with the simulator. What I want to do is to completely disable the twist control of the...

Would someone point me to a good forum that deals with Combat FS, FS2 and FS3? Thanks

I'm fishing for ideas. I want to make a low cost multiple display airport vehicle simulator to drive around an airport. Good scenery and visual presentation are more important than vehicle dynamics. My first thought is to get a sim like STI vehicle simulator and build or have them build my airport....

I'm unable to connect to any of the simflight NGs via OE. I have the FS2004 and FS2002 NGs showing with me being subscribed, however, whenever I attempt to read a message, I get an error message that says: "You don't have permission to talk. Goodbye." I have not been able to locate any...

Before I buy, I would get some idea of the reality , functionality,etc. of the simulator aspect. Goal to get back into flying/soaring after 25 yrs. I hold a private w/250 hrs SEL. Would just buying the software give me an idea of what to expect. Trying to use a little restraint. HA HA!!!! I...

Thanks to those who responded to my last post, your info was helpful, thanks, but if I had a dual card, would my Dell receipt say that? Mine doesn't, so I am thinking I need another card. Am I wrong there? Here is what it says for my card: 128MB PCI Express x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X300...

New computer... just re-installed FS2004... could someone post the no CD patch link and instructions again... thanks in advance!
