Hello Everyone: I was hoping that someone with more experience than I could help me with some questions/problems that I have with MS Flight Sim 2004. I have owned all of the FS since 4.0, and the one that has worked best for me has been 2002. A couple of weeks ago, I got 2004, and am quite happy...

Well, it's not an 'award' that I particularly relish, to be sure, but when one does dumb things, hey, you pass on the experiences when the zeal to get going totally overrides both common sense and the HITK syndrome. Recognizing that the RAS newsgroup has both experienced old-hands --and-- most...

Hi all, I know this has nothing do do with flightsims but i have just had my satellite broadband installed & it is very fast. I can download at a rate of 4mb a second.

Were can I download for MS fl.sim 2004 (or 2002) the Catalina PBY-5? Thanks for help. Thijs.

Following some discussion on one of these NGs about how gadget minded so many of we Flight Sium enthusiasts are, I would like to recommend very strongly to you all a fairly new subscription magazine called 'Living With Technology' which I have been reading. It covers all the aspects of technology...

I love FS2004 -- hell of a value for $50. :) I've recently been downloading and playing with the slew of fan-designed aircraft. I love speed, and so I've been gravitating to some of the supersonic military aircraft -- Mig 29, F-18, F-16, F-15, F-14, SR-71, etc. However, I've yet to find one...

What's the recognised route around the world. Planning on doing it in the Baron. Can anyone point me to a flightplan in FSNavigator for such a route? Thanks Clive

The following was the original comment in this thread: "See Wired magazine: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,60830,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_6 People have criticized me in the past for suggesting that someone could learn much of the skills of piloting with FS, but it seems that I'm...

I have a question that can only possibly be answered by real airline pilots and pilots of the heavy oil-burners at that. Even they may not know - or want to tell the answer. I have heard that most if not all of the heavies now flying have special equipment in them to thwart hijacking. The...

My grandson will be 8 in a month. He loves airplanes. He is also pretty good on the computer. I was thinking of getting him a copy of FS for his birthday, but after lurking on this ng for a few days, I am concerned that the game is too complicated for an 8 year old. I would appreciate any opinions...

Hello Everyone I am somewhat new to the world of aviation, so I have some questions about mathematical modelling of an aircraft that need to be answered. Here are my questions: 1-Is a simple mathematical model for an aircraft for pitch, yaw , roll motions can be described as simple levers? (Is...

Where could I go to download a beta (or any version) of FS 2004?
