Can anyone here talk to me abut the Realflight G2 flight sim. First, I need a review as to it's realism as it applies to flight charactaristics of heli's (and planks) but mostly heli's. I googled it and only came up with 2 reviews. One was negative and one was on the Reflight web page (biased...

FMS is one of the freeware high-quality flight simulator for model airplanes. It is written in Delphi language with some third party components. You can download it from http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html My question is about the "flight dynamic model" of FMS and/or other...

I have just finished building my own airport for FS2004 using the AFCAD program and when I go to the airport it works well, all AI traffic use it correctly etc but there are non-airport buildings such as houses on the runways and trees on the taxi-ways. I have downloaded the program *Airport for...

Who likes this crap??? It's garbage.

Hello, my goal is to drive microsoft flight sim using an external data source. I read the netpipes SDK and am in the process of creating the binary conversion program from my data source to the "flight video" ..fsr format. I have questions about the section regarding the "ObjectID" field in the...

I bought eDimensional 3D wired glasses to use with MS Flt Sim. I had to upgrade to Flt Sim 2004 to get smooth running I still do not get 3D and I get flicker and dark screen, "eDimensional" suggest Nvidia cards over my ATI card, so today I went to buy one, BUT... My supplier does not carry Nvidia...

Maybe we could recommend unusual and different Flight Sims which can be obtained either on the net or retail. For example I am very keen on Microflight by Ilan Papini which can be found at Quality Simulations www.hangsim.com --

In the early days of Flight Simulation, Mark Strawcutter managed the Indiana University of Pennsylvania's FTP service. This service was made available to the entire world-wide simming community for free. Not since IUP effectively shut down has there been a site or service available with the large...

Let me start by saying that I have no affiliation nor with Jetstar INTERNATIONAL nor with Jetstar AIRWAYS. I don't live in Australia nor in the USA. I'm in Canada. And I like to see things subjectively, not single sided. I always liked the truth - even when sometimes it wasn't for my personal...

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,...

Hi :) I'm planning a new PC. Because of the differences in the architectures of the AMD and Intel CPUs, I'ld like to hear suggestions about whether I should use a high end Pentium IV or a high end AMD CPU. (Not talking about the P IV extreme nor the AMD 64 - I never pay double the price for a bit...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea why Microsoft has stopped selling and/or making the sidewinder force feedback 2 joystick?

I'm a novice running FS2004 and trying to learn GPS. One thing that puzzles me is that I don't see the data of the actual location of the plane on the GPS display (or anywhere else). Shouldn't it display latitude and longitude of the plane's current position somewhere? In other words, where the...

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 ??

Looking for a bit of help as I program my HOTAS for FS9. S (cycle views forward) and shift s (cycle views backward) include cockpit, virtual, tower and spot views. I don't find the tower view very useful. I'd like to program specific views in lieu of cycling to them. Are there discrete...

It has been suggested over the years, for the sake of realism, that Microsoft should also model Interior Turbulence in the virtual cockpit of FS2004. This never happened. As many suggested, the virtual cockpit should not stay perfectly still all the time, it should shake and jerk around just a...

Hi, I was just browsing this news group and noticed that FS2004 is now available. Yes I know I'm probably a little the times. Anyway, I've been using FS2002 for over a year now and I think it's great, but no doubt FS2004 is going to be better. The question is how much better and is it worth going...
