Nearing the end of the FSX install, approximately 1hour and thirty minutes, I get the message: "Error 1722 There is a problem with this Windows installer. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Acknowledging this...

I installed FS 9 (2004) on a new laptop and the instrument panel will not show. Here is a link to a screen captu http://www.cockpitgps.com/fsproblem.jpg. My computer is an eMachines 5405, here are the details: http://www.emachines.com/support/support_info.html?prodName=M5405 I have tried...

Hi folks, To my greatest surprise, my girlfriend got me the Flight Simulator 2004 for Christmas. Though I didn't touch one for years, I've always loved flight sims and was eager to try out this one - only to find out that it's a real downer with only the keyboard and mouse. I'm looking now for a...

Quilljar As promised I have prepared a webpage illustrating the two routes for 2D panels using the Parhelia - Please note that both require some work on them. Where a Virtual cockpit is supplied with the aircraft, then that is the preferred route: but this can be difficult in phases of flying such...

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...

Having flown to an island etc at night I find I cannot locate the airstrip due to no VASI or runway lights. Is there any way of adding them to the existing scenery?? Switching to daylight seems a bit of a cheat :0( Rog

A friend and I are having difficulty connecting to each other in multiplayer in Falcon 4. We both have the same build of the software (unpatched). He is connected to the internet directly, I am trying to connect using a gateway connection and a direct connection with no luck. Both of us are...

How can I return to NAV mode, after been in A/A or A/G modes? Thanks

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?

Are there any patches for FS2004? When is the next great FS2005 or whatever being released? I can't wait. JMN

I don't know if adds are allowed so please forgive me. London Control is an air traffic control simulation system for the personal computer. It is an authentic, highly realistic simulation of the actual ATC sytem over England and Wales. It delivers a level of sophistication not seen before in a...

I'm more of a geography buff than an aviation ace so I get more enjoyment out of the scenery realism than the different types of aircraft I may be flying. In your opinion, are the scenery enhancements in FS2004 worth plunking down another 50 bucks to stay current with the state of the art? I'm...

Hi all, Now that FS2004 has been out a while now can any users out there tell me if it's significantly better than 2002. I have read about what other features it has now but is it graphically any better. I appreciate the spec of your pc will have a big part as to the sim's performance. Thanks.

As a newcomer to the Radeon club, I have a strong urge to drop kick it back to the store. I would be overwhelmingly happy if the screen flickering was all that was wrong with it... I envy you guys. This thing freezes in FS2004. It freezes if you put up the frame rate counter. It freezes in 30...

hi, anyone know of a central repository for tail numbers for online/VA flying? to add an extra level of realism I'd like to virtually register each aircraft i fly. if there's a requirement i'll start a project up. anyone have any ideas? james

I have been down loading real world weather. But, it doesn't match the actual weather as determined from tuning in the FAA automatic weather stations on the Internet. http://www1.faa.gov/asos/map/map.htm. I've compared it by listening to the ATIS at the airport of FS2002 and comparing it with...

In FS2002, when flying IFR with ATC, on approach I am given vectors to a particular runway at any given airport. Is there any way of requesting a different runway?

I have FS2004 but for some reason I think the physics are a bit off... I don't know if FS2004 cuts it as far as realism goes. so I started looking around for other simulators and I found the Elite Simulation software. Anyone uses the Elite ? How realistic is it and how useful could it be as and...
