In 2004 Russian airlines have purchased 15 used foreign-made aircraft, namely Boeing, and only 4 new Russian-made ones. These figures were disclosed on Thursday, Feb. 10, by the representative of the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency and reported by RIA Novosti.... Read more...

Maybe Flanker or other Russian simulator players can answer to my question: I am playing Falcon4, and flying Su-27. However I don't know how to use Russian precision bombs KAB-500Kr and KAB-500OD. I suspect they shouldn't be simulated well in Falcon4. The former seem to be the same as US...

I am looking for a simulator yoke that closely resembles the Saab 340's yoke. I found one on the internet but I have lost the url. Hank

I had seen a simulated Saab 340 yoke for sale on a website but I can't remember the URL of the company. If anyone could help with this it would be appreciated. I am getting ready to set up a three monitor simulator and I am looking for the better grades of yokes, throttles, and the like. Any...

Hi, Anyone on this list running SotS? if so would they like to contact me off line as I have a number of questions which I would like the answers to an cannot get any support from the vendors. Alistair Wright Melrose Scotland

Does anyone else on this list run this software? If so have they downloaded the so-called 'Gold' patch? I have had a lot of trouble with this sim since I tried adding this patch. The designer is not really being very helpful right now but there may be expertise here which could explain and...

Just been going thru E-bay. Noticed a lot more interest in Saitek flight control over CH Products. What gives?

Hey, This is a pretty good stick/throttle combination, but it causes a quirky behavior in that the aircraft rudder becomes very unstable on takeoff roll. It slips from side to side, making takeoff a real challange. I'm pretty new with this stick and would appreciate if anyone else having this...

I have the CH Yoke and rudder pedals non usb now. I like to get the Saitek X45 Joystick and throttle USB. Can I have them both on mys system? Running Windows XP Pro. Will flight Sim recognize the different units? Thanks for any help

Tried the throttle at a computer store. I fiound the movement of the throttle to be extremely stiff. Had to hold down the unit to move it. Is there somewhere where you can loosen the tension on it? How do you like them?

Hi. Does anyone have the Saitek X45 Joystick and Throttle combination. Got it at Best Buy recently. Are you happy with it. Can you suggest assignments for it's numerous buttons and controls? Should I keep it or return it? -- Dave Schwartz Commack, NY

As a Xmas present I've received the Pro Flight Yoke system with double throttle quadrants for use with 4 engines a/crafts ( 6 levers in all). I have FS2004. Everthing installed ok but I'm not able to program the 4 throttle levers to command each engine and the mixture and ptch levers. The...

Anyone know when SAR4 is released in UK Thanks Clive

Recently got both of these games... they both have the same prob... they install fine, run fine, i can 'play' the game, right up until i try to load a mission, the display either tiles several times across my screen or it it squashes maybe 100 times and i end up with slithers of the screen, i can...

Hi all, I saw this game ( search and recue 4 ) today in my local computer shop. I was tempted but ..... Is it any good ?? realistic flightmodel ?? fun to play ?? chalenging levels ??

Hey all. I am new to this forum so please forgive me if this is being posted in the wrong section. Many years ago my uncle built a life size flight simulator for me loosely based on the F-86. I had wanted to be a fighter pilot and he was an electronics and woodworking expert so he built this for...

Is there any setting that will prevent the scenery from just "popping" into view as you fly toward it. It is pretty non-realistic the way this happens.

I don't really understand the concept of the scenery library. I haven't added any scenery to the program. Do I just leave it as it is or do I have to change the order if I want to fly over Europe or Africa instead of the US? Also, I can't seem to find the Library any more. Help says go...

Can anyone tell me if there is any importance to the order of sceneries in the scenery add on window. I loaded 3rd party upgrades to mesh terrain and airports. Don't seem to notice a difference from the MS default in the mesh/terrain and now the terminal is missing. Where should airport be...

I recently installed Austrian airport scenery into my FS2004 (it had been in my FS2002 files, so I pointed the Addon scenery files to it). Most all of the files are displaying ok, with the eception of most of the 'tree' files. They are displaying as white boxes. I know there is supposed to be a...
