Does anyone out there have an idea on how i deploy the brake chute, for this brilliant add- on. Its a bit of a problem without it as its dammn hard to stop running off the runway. Ive been through the documentation for it and cant find it anywhere, and yet the back of the box pic mentions it and...

Good Morning: I recently donated my FS98 software to a local flying club, and was looking for recommendations for realistic handling AC models to run through IFR procedures. They 're primarily interested in solid LOC / ILS coupling (lock-on). Civilian AC; i.e.: Cessna, Piper, Kantana, Mooney,...

I wanted to reply to a thread about someone asking about ATC simulators, but I haven't managed to work out how to use the newsgroups properly yet - so I apologise for starting a new thread. My husband has developed a new London Control ATC simulator. It's going to be released at the end of...

Hi, On behalf of a non internet friend..... My friend has just had his PC returned from having a new hard drive fitted (bigger). The shop simply transferred "everything" that was on his old drive to the newer one. And now he is experiencing various probs...

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...

I figured out shift-h turns pitot heat on, but is there a key combination to turn de-icing on? Does de-icing really do anything? Thanks T.

FS2002 1.. How do save a flight in process. 2.. see instant replay 3.. change views all during a flight, wtihout having to cancel that flight. The help file says use the option or view menu. I have no option or view menu. thanks

Maybe Flanker or other Russian simulator players can answer to my question: I am playing Falcon4, and flying Su-27. However I don't know how to use Russian precision bombs KAB-500Kr and KAB-500OD. I suspect they shouldn't be simulated well in Falcon4. The former seem to be the same as US...

I'm new to flight simulation and am wondering if there is any simulation software for DHC Twin Otters. Software for the Mac would be my preference, but since I can run Windows on my Mac, Windows software would be Ok as well. Thanks. Randy Farnsworth Author of "A Stand Yet...

Located in the San Diego area. Interested in flight simulation information exchange. Is anyone familiar with a local group hereabouts. Would sincerely appreciate a steer. N Lee

Having been out of simming for a good couple of years (I took up the real thing!), I'm wondering what are the must haves. I see there is Ultimate traffic and My Traffic. Any real difference between the two? What is required nowadays for online flying etc. Any other add-ons that you just wouldn't be...

realisticly simulates plane crashes and how your body pieces will fly throw the air and will be eaten by ants and cats. You can play "find my lost testicles" as a sub-game after a crash in the mountains - find the testicles before the bears do it ...

If you are sitting on the fence debating whether or not to book some UAL Sim Time at the 2004 Exhibition and Conference, you had better not wait much longer. There are only 16 hours of UAL sim time left out of the 200 hour allocation that we have as of this morning. We anticipate that...

When I use the Cessna Caravan and other planes and I use ILS approach and follow instructions for staying at a certain altitude, and heading until the localizer needles are lined up and then switch to the APR button the plane goes haywire and dives for the ground. Is this a known problem. Both...

Sorry folks - please bear with me. I love to fly (as a passenger) but am keen to 'get my hands on the controls'. Where do I start? MS Flight Sim? What 'joystick' and 'foot pedals'?

Does anyone know if the old (circa 98) IFT-Pro instru sim will run on xp. It does not accept "pge dn to install" input from the DOS install appl. -- Thanks Greg Burgh
