Here's a few screenies of Flight Sim 2004 and the PMDG 737. http://www.thepilotlounge.com/scripts/forums/index.php?showtopic=977 This is the new system I just finished putting togheter and all i have to say is that it's day and night difference between my old POS and this new monster. Pentium 4...

For some reason, the quality & clarity of the display font in the ATC message box has gotten difficult to read. It's grainy and almost transparent. Tried looking through the help files, but can't figure it out. Any advice would be great!!

Are there parts of the worldwhere ifr conditions are prevalent? I need some practice... My first try was a flight in Austria. I have tried landings at Innsbruck but the Controller tries to get my Cessna 172 to 13000ft then asks me 6miles from the airport whether it is in sight. Is it my...

Hi, I am trying to remember the name of a company that produces / sells videos of commercial aircraft flights. The company's name was something like ITV or ITW. Can anyone help with the actual name and website, please. I have done a number of searches but it is still eluding me. Many...

When using FS2004 for practice IFR approaches, can I start my flight from said 4,000 over an IAF? If yes, how do I do that. Thanks. Robin Hou

I've purchased ms century of flight. I've tried running it on my ibm laptop - 256 memory - but not sure if it was the computer or the cheap joystick - it just did not respond well to inputs - seemed slow. I'm considering getting a tower pc - used, or build my own. Can someone give me ideas as to...

Airbus released its new plane today, wonder how long it will take to see the sim version.

Hello does anyone know how to use the hex editor in AirEd to edit Tbl3D tables. My main problem is, I can't figure out how the hex contents of a table are organised. Thx T.

Hi, I know this should be easy, but it's proven not to be. The jet aircraft have 'auto start' and the engines crank up in sequence just fine. Props are becoming problematic. What is the sequence for starting to Beechcraft or Baron props? Is there an 'auto start' command? Thanks, Honus

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...

Hey, This is a pretty good stick/throttle combination, but it causes a quirky behavior in that the aircraft rudder becomes very unstable on takeoff roll. It slips from side to side, making takeoff a real challange. I'm pretty new with this stick and would appreciate if anyone else having this...

I just upgraded from my PIII 450 Mhz to a Sony 3.0gig Pentium IIII ht and Radion 128Meg video card and more. All that money spent, I load up Flight Simulator 2002, get my Microsoft Sidewinder forced feedback joystick and DUH! No connector for it! FS2002 is the ONLY thing I need all this...

Just installed FS2004 for the first time.... where's all the old stuff, like the pre-set ILS approaches into Oakland etc? Each version upgrade has always included the "old stuff".

I got FS 2004 and want to get a good joystick. I can't seem to find reviews. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Logitech Freedom (wireless), Force 3D (feedback) or the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 2 (which Amazon says is discontinued -- curious why). Can folks shed a little light for me,...

Every time I apply full thorttle the plane tends to go to the left, it doesn't matter if it is a 747 or a cessna, they both show the same behavior. Rudder Pedals are calibrated, wind is 0. what could be the problem?

I'm considering a new laptop with a 15.4" wxga+ 1280x800 pixel display to replace my current 1024x768 lcd display. Wondering what that wil do for/to FS2004 play.

I have had a copy of FS2002 for a while now, and have had the same problem installing it on three of my different computers. My newest, a P4 2.8 HT, 512 RAM PC3200, 128 GeForce, is the latest to experience the problem. As I am installing the third disk (under default installation) it states that...

Anyone have a serial to make it take more than 10 aircraft

I have FScof... and a decent machine to run it on... P4 at 2 ghz and 512 RAM... graphics are GForce2 with 64mb on it... Directx9 is installed, driver versions are 6.14.10.4523 I had been able to load and run just fine for a while, aside from a initilization failure after deleteing an aircraft...
