Don't know if it's been mentioned before but if you change the virtual copilot line in the FS2004.CFG file to =1 you recieve flying tips. ie power up with out releasing brakes and he lets you know how, stuff like that. May come in handy for some new players. Scet

I don't seem to be able to get the default Fs2004 Cessna 172 up to normal cruise speeds. I max out at about 105-111 TAS at various altitudes. But from various Internet sources, it seems that the real 172 should be able to cruise at 125-140 kts. Anybody else bothered by this?

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 --

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...

I'm wondering - maybe I should turn all these gyro realism off, as it is rather not important during FS training, not quite realistically simulated, and not very difficult, I suppose, to take care of in a real Cessna Umm. IRL, your instructor will train you to check the directional gyro with...

Most were certainly off-topic and without links none of them were very interesting. I hope that is the end of them. .... Martin

I enjoy flying with FS2004. I have done a lot of hours with chessna and a few with the mooney. I can operate the Learjet ok, yet I am still a beginner. I started flying the boeings (mostly 727) last weekend. My question to all you, who really know your stuff is that what should I do next to expand...

I'm trying to find a program like the FS98.2000 drag and drop panel editor called config or cfg edit for FS2002 Does anyine here know if such a program exists and where Thanks PJ

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...

Hi, is there anywhere a good simulator software for flying the LEM from moon orbit down to the surface? I remember a very archaic monochrome computer game more than 20 years ago. But is there something of the quality of the MS Flusi or similar? MS

Hi A few months ago I found a homepage for a flight sim with lots of monitors - I think this guy had something like 15. Now I can't find it again. Anyone know where I can find it, or one like it? Thanks Tony

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...

When I installed FS 2004 I used the full install method, but when I start the program it still requires that disk 4 be in the CD drive. How can I copy the contents of this disk to another location and point FS to it so I don't have to use a CD every time I run FS 2004? Thanks, Dave

On JAG last Friday evening they had a episode where a C-130 landed on an Aircraft carrier. At the end of the program is showed a picture of a C-130 hat had landed on the Forestall in 1957 . Has anyone acomplished this feat on FS? Harold A. Climer Dept. Of Physics,Geology, and Astronomy U.T....

For those of you who have been around a while, you will remember the days when AVSIM ran an email list server system. Back in those days, this was a system based upon the "MAJORDOMO" list server software. It was buggy and not too secure. AVSIM is pleased to announce that as of today, we have...

Does anyone know what the worth of the following might be: 1976 Pacer Systems Mk II Delta IFR trainer Any help would be greatly appreciated. Martin

Could someone tell me how to push back from the terminal in FS2002 prof please? I can thrust forward and turn hard, but unless I disable "reset after crash" when I hit the terminal building the sim stops and, yes, resets itself. I have tried reverse thrust too, but that doesn't seem towork....

Hi all I just bought Radeon 9800 Pro and is running almost excellent. "Almost", because I have a problem running FS2004. The fps is very low and during (only) fs2004 harddrive is accessed constantly. It's happening on high settings. When I minimize them, the FS2004 runs smooth with...

Hi All, While taxiing and undertaking a take-off roll FS2004 grinds to an almost complete halt with frame rates of 1 or less making things completely impossible to control. Literally as soon as the wheels leave the tarmac all returns to normal. The same happens as soon as the wheels hit the...

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