I would like to find a simulator that will do acrobatics in a more or less realistic manner. When i was flying the real ones the most fun that I had was doing acrobatics. I have bought every version of MS Flight Sim and have taken them off the machine after a few tries, because they don't,...

Is there anyone still flying Flight Unlimited 1. There was a patch that allowed a person to run it on a Windows 95 or 98 machine. If so does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks in advance, JakeInHartsel

Concerning Dimitry Kolesnik's absolutely stunning TU-154 2D panel (which Tibor Kókai included in his great TU154B-2 package for FS2004), has anyone located the power switch for the primary attitude indicator (the one w/ILS crossbars)? I've been able to power-up all other instruments but not the...

Don't tell me to install Linux. I know that. It's currently not an option. I downloaded and installed FG on a fairly capable XP system (1.6ghz AMD 256 RAM and a good video card) and was blown away by the frame rate. Like one second per frame even in the lower resolution modes? I shut down all the...

I just came across a rave review of X-plane by Richard Collins, so was curious how well it compares to FS2004 in terms of realism, anybody who has used both? I have used FS2004 and its a pretty decent product and fun to play with, but was wondering if X-plane is better. thanks

Hi. Someone has had problems during istall of SST software on Saitek X52? I can't install... Gian.

In X-plane 7.0, I have reached 240,000 ft in altitude with an F-16, and 290,000 with an SR-71. Now after 80,000 where the atmosphere is thin, apparently the jet engines with afterburner are still pushing the aircraft with the same force (no oxygen around). I wonder if this accurately shows the...

Can X-plane be used to design aircraft? I've been trying to design aircraft in it, but most of my designs just crash immediately as it starts in a fraction of a second, even though most of the details are pretty reasonable (if the engine horsepower is 0, it just sits there, if its 1, it crashes...

I see a lot of posts regarding MS FS here. Anyone use On Top 9 (www.asa2fly.com/product1.asp?SID=1&Product_ID=756&)? I find it very good for serious IFR procedures practice. My only complaint is that it is very touchy in the pitch axis. Any others experience this? Greg

I just got my PPL and heard from some ATP rated friends that using MS FS 2004 could help a bit for getting down some of the navigation techniques for IFR. I figure for $50 that is about 25 minutes in a IFR GPS equipped plane. What is the minimum equipment *really* required to use MS FS...

Is it possible to move an aircraft in MSFS either graphically or by numbers (lat and long, alt, heading, IAS) easily? Right now it appears I have to fly into the position/configuration I want and then save it. If I want to practice approaches at different airports, holding patterns (ADF, VOR,...

Does anyone know when Microsoft is planning to release the Flight Sim 2004 Software Development Kit (SDK)? thanks

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if Abacus' FS Design Studio V2, Visual Aircraft & Scenery Studio and Custom Panel Designer are FS2004 compatible. Also, does anyone recommend them or NOT recommend them? If yoiu DON'T, what DO you recommend instead? I downloaded the 7 day trial of Custom Panel...

After reading the great article in EAA Mag about the X-Plane flight simulator, I went online and bought a copy. I installed it and the scenery disk per instructions, even logged into the online help and downloaded the Cozy IV airplane. I can fly it from my home airport (ksrq) in Florida. I have...

Hi, I just moved to university that uses a proxy server. It blocks most of the ports, however the port 80 seems to be free (for HTTP). When I arrived here, it seems that real weather download no longer works and it tells me that it has a problem with an internet connection. I think we are using a...

What is the best graphics card to use to get the most out of FS9?

After you import the voice file with EditVoicepack, is there something else you must do to get them to work FS2002. I've done a few, but none will work.
