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...

Does anyone know if there is an online game service like hyperhwy for FS 2004? (http://www.hyperhwy.com/navaid/airtrafficcontrol.html) I never actually flew on it but I would be interested in trying some close-to-reality ATC online game service with 2004 if there's one...

If you are sitting on the fence debating whether or not to book some UAL Sim Time at the 2004 Exhibition and Conference, you had better not wait much longer. There are only 16 hours of UAL sim time left out of the 200 hour allocation that we have as of this morning. We anticipate that...

I recently downloaded an aircraft model from FlightSim.com, (a Velocity XL model designed by Brian Gladden for MSFS 2000). The model flies great, but for some reason the side windows are opaque. I realize there is probably a difference in the way transparent windows are handled or coded in the...

Hello folks, I am looking for open-source combo flight/space simulators for Linux. I found FlightGear simulator but it only provides flights but not space and Celestia simulator but it only supports space area. I know two closed-source flight simulators (X-plane and Orbiter) supports both...

ME again, So, I am trying something new with x-plane using IVAO as the software for virtual air traffic. There is a fly-in to oshkosh for an airshow this weekend, and follows only VFR. We have a choice of airports to fly from. To get to the point, because I have little experience with ATC...

Running FS2004 under XP, on a flight in the Baron from Catumbela Angola (FNCT) to Windhoek (FYWH), I'm getting a sinking feeling about 10 mins into the flight. The air pressure drops, the indicated altitude steps upwards (in several stages), engine performance (as indicated by fuel flow) drops,...

Hi All, I'm having a problem with the US Navy aircraft in Pacific Fighters. I will select a flight but I won't be able to fly the aircraft. The view is chase view but I can't get into the cockpit.

I downloaded the 747 Pan Am Clipper (PW) from PAI, but can't get it to display. The install looks correct with the model.pw and texture.paa which I set up with the Pan Am texture, but the plane just doesn't appear. Any idears? Thanks,

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...

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.

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...

Anyone know of a site that has the file that replaces the English.fll to prevent parking brake, stall etc from appearing on the screen. Only version I could find was for the flight combat sim. Did have this backed up...only to find for some reason Winzip refuses to open it. Damn! Thanks Graham

I've purchased ms century of flight. I've tried running it on my ibm laptop - 256 memory - but not sure if it was the computer or the cheap joystick - it just did not respond well to inputs - seemed slow. I'm considering getting a tower pc - used, or build my own. Can someone give me ideas as to...
