Hi! I'm running XP2000 chip 1GB RAM with GeForce FX 5600 running WXP pro. I am trying to run FS9 using an old S3 Trio 32/64 card in a PCI slot to drive a second monitor for dials etc. FS 2002 used to let me do this no probs, but FS9 goes into software mode whish is so slow as not to be worthwhile...

Hope someone can help me - I'm running FS2002 on a 700MHz Duron chipped PC with 640Mb RAM which was perfectly OK when loaded with Windows ME. Now that I've loaded Windows XP Pro I can no longer run FS2002. The program loads in the elements, but just at the point where it's about to display the...

Hi Flight Sim addicts, has anybody besides me started getting way more spam to the email address they registered on Google Groups with? Before I registered last week, my hotmail address got very little spam, maybe 1 a week, the evening after registering my account size was over limit, all crap like...

Hi all, I have recently bought a new, custom-built PC from a local shop (not a megastore chain) and budgetary constraints meant that the most expensive part was the CPU so I had to skimp on the graphics card. But this can always be upgraded later. My first few attempts at running FS2002 Pro have...

A guy I work with told me you can fly over an airport at night and look for a lit up yellow square, then land and go there and park in the square and you will get refueled. I couldnt find out anything about this in the help files, so I was doubtful, I always adjusted fuel through the menus. Anyway...

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 played around some more with FS2004 last night. The ATC is much improved, and you can now see approach plates in the GPS moving map display. However the approach plates are not complete. For example, the approaches to LAX do not have all of the legs of the approaches shown in the plates, and...

Trying to send you a package, reads "Marine" on the sides, can't get through your e-mail server. Is there another address to send to? Or would you prefer I upload to a site that you can download from? Please let me know, - Al. -- To reply, insert dash in address to separate G and I in the domain

Hi, I'm currently flying a long haul from LDZA (Zagreb) to CYYC (Calgary) with a stopover at BIKF (Keflavik). Somewhere over Germany I decided I'd try fiddling with the new GPS. I created the approach for BIKF RWY 29 via KEILA intersection, CI29 and FI29 intersections, and have put it on hold....

Flying around Adelaide Australia in the Robinson, I saw cows in a fenced in area adjacent to a farm house. Anyone seen this or any other sorts of animals? Scet

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...

Existe-t-il un moye de mettre un avion fs2000 dans fs98 en modifiant ses textures.

Got FS 2004 a couple of weeks ago and loaded it per directions. Then I got the updated drivers from Saitek for my Cyborg 3D Gold joystick. Calibrated stick and booted up FS 2004. About 15-20 minutes into a flight, doesn't matter which one, the game craps out. Get an error message and the whole 9...

Quick questions for you all, How many of you take the time and trouble to defragment before a major install like FS? Have you ever tried deactivating virtual memory, defragging, then re-enabling virtual memory? (To un-frag the swapfile, in effect) Ever had any problems specifying a fixed-size...

Hmmm. I did find one once, but as I can't remember where, tis is only to give you hope. "karel adams" wrote in message ... Every version of FS I have known has a file called MAGDEC.BGL In FS2002 it is...

Hi, I was just browsing this news group and noticed that FS2004 is now available. Yes I know I'm probably a little the times. Anyway, I've been using FS2002 for over a year now and I think it's great, but no doubt FS2004 is going to be better. The question is how much better and is it worth going...
