fs2004

Hi,

The last version of the FS that i had used was the 2k2. This version allowed
uploading all the scenery files for faster start up of the sim - it also did
not require a CD to be in the drive for it to function. The first version
that I have used, by the way, was the first version they came up with. I
winded up buying a pc junior just to play the sim - so I am a veteran of
sorts.

The 2004 version starts very slowly. It seems to be loading scenery objects,
etc. even though I have installed it fully. The requirements for CD4 to be
in the drive is also an annoying requirement. How do you guys deal with
these things. Is there a way to speed up the startup process?

Where can I find some cool planes to download for the fs2004?

Thanks.
