I notice in a number of flight simultors that the airports tend to be lit up far brighter than they are in real life. In FS2004 you can pick out the airport pretty easily by the spot green light or runway lights that kind of jump out of the scenary. In real life it is much more subtle, especially...

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...

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...

The problem with the supplied scenery is the discrepancy in locations when using the VFR UK Scenery, so if the default scenery remains enabled it can be ridiculous - for example, the Houses of Parliament in the River Thames (hmmm - not a bad idea! ;-) ). Am wondering if there's a patch to correct...

I hope not, as it doesn't ship on CD but DVD :) "Blue" wrote in message ... Is FSX going to require a noCD hack like fs9?

I purchased the Raytheon G36 trainer software from Garmin. After attaching a new Saitek Cyborg Evo and verifying the controls, I gave it a try. The heading only seems to change when the rudder is activated: banks leave the heading unchanged. Anyone else have this problem? Also, even with a heading...

Hello folks, I am interested to develop a new flight/space simulator. I am looking for good aerodynamiic/astrodynamic books. Does anyone recommend which books for flight/space simulator programming? For example, fly a space plane from runway to orbit around the earth like in x-plane...

I must be stupid. I have installed the Lovett MAY 2004 on FS 2004. I get confused at the L-click / R-click "menu" that appears when MAY is active and one presses LMB or RMB. The author does not yet have any instructions for actually using this program. I -can- control the aircraft with it and...

Hi all, I am familiar with the inclinometer and turn co-ordinator of the Cessna and how to use it to establish the correct bank angle for a standard rate turn. Regardless of the IAS, I can perform a standard rate turn by setting a bank angle that matches the standard rate turn on the turn...

Hi there, I would appreciate help with sites with information on making your own controls ... especially USB... and setting up your own cockpit. Comments from members who have done it would be most welcome. many thanks Hugh Roberton Melbourne Australia

Hi We have done it!! One HUNDRED Air Force overview freely online at http://airforces.scramble.nl and you can imagine we are proud of achieving that. Orbat 100 is the overview of the Uruguayan Air Force. We only need to add Paraguay and Guayana (a country we desperately need pictures from) and...

After trying MS Train Simulator and being so thoroughly disappointed with it, I haven't been into Train simming for a while. But it caught my interest again and thought I would give it a try again. It seems that Trainz is the current state of the art sim. But surfing around, I see that there...

Some of the Roanokers in the Sasha Baron Cohen Borat movie sued Cohen for embarrassing them I wonder how their lawsuit is going I don't know.... I don't think the drunk dullards had much to sue for.... they act like that 24/7 anyway (with or without a camera filming them), and presumably they...
