I am finally getting a decent spec PC from work and want to run
FS2002/04.

I have never played any of the FS games (played Falcon 4.0 a lot a few
years ago).

A few questions

When flying say from London Heathrow to Paris CDG, where does the
aircraft start? At the gate, taxi way, runway???
both 2k2 and 2k4 let you chose where you wanna start the trip

Do you have to
request engine start and go through start up sequences?
There is a checklist for start take off etc. During t/o there is no
interaction with ATC (for both 2k2 and 2k4)

If at the
gate do you get a push back?

yes, but no vehicle to push, shift p moves you back slowly
How detailed are the airports -

the big ones are pretty detailed. All airports have the right rwy's and
nav/com/ils frequencies etc, the major airports have realisticly
moddeled buildings. In 2k4 there are even taxisigns

buildings etc. or do you need the addons for more detail? Basically
I'm asking how realistic is it?
2k4 has a better ATC, nicer weather and clouds and a better gps than 2k2.
Im happy flying 2k4, but likes 2l2 also



Thanks in advance
