I'm using a GeForce FX 5200 video card, and have already installed the 44.67 NVidia drivers, but still have no panels... just a black rectangle. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks. Mongo

It's been a while since I flew with MS flight simulator and I got back in the cockpit the other day. I got CH yoke and rudder pedal and installed FSX. FSX is great but I have a problem (and in a way I think happened in older versions of MSFS): when I use the rudder to maintain runway alignment, it...

I purchased the Raytheon G36 trainer software from Garmin. After attaching a new Saitek Cyborg Evo and verifying the controls, I gave it a try. The heading only seems to change when the rudder is activated: banks leave the heading unchanged. Anyone else have this problem? Also, even with a heading...

does any one know if & when microsoft are going to release a new updated flight simulator, don`t want to buy 2004 if a new one is going to be released sometime in the near future! thanx

Hi Folks, I just joined the group (naturally with a problem). I know how to fly but don't know computers at this level of sophistication. I just bought a new PC and FS2004, but I when I tried some add-ons, I didn't have a clue as to which file went into which folder. Is there a source I can go to...

Is there another flightsim on the horizon. Not some little effort. Every once-in-a-while there's one other than Microsoft's. Epi ---- I would rather use meek-words than power-words. ----

How do improve frame rates for fs2004? I have a 64MB grapchics card. If I get a 128MB graphics card, would that improve my frame rates and stop stutters?

Has anyone created this for MSFS? Just saw the Simpson's last night and made me wonder.

How important is the rudder to making Flight Simulator a realistic experience. I want to use MS FS to assist me in taking flying lessons. I wonder if the rudder will make the training more realistic or does it really matter. Thanks

I am seeking a part-time programmer to develop FS2004 aircraft and other custom modifications. Software skills are most essential, although experience building a full-scale cockpit would be helpful as well. Work may be done at home, although occasional on-site visits to Southwestern Pennsylvania...

How can I add the Citabria 7ECA and Aeronca Champ taildraggers to the MS FS2002 program? A few years ago, I bought microsoft flight simulator 2002 for the express purpose of learning more about these two tail draggers but my MSFS2002 only contained the Cessna 172SP Skyhawk, the Cessna C182RG...

Has anyone written some sort of program/hack to get position data out of MS flight simulator that could be used to control a cockpit motion device? It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to build a two axis positioner if you could get the pitch and roll data out of the sim program. tom

Hi All How about we all share some of our info like settings and what drivers we are using? :-) I just installed my 9600XT and sure would like to know what others have their settings at. Right now I have the drivers that came on the Asus CD. This is an Asus 9600XT by the way. I did find...

OK...To explain my situation: I'm a newbie to flight sims. Not sure about em. Flying FS2k2 Pro, got it for Xmas last year, then figured out I needed a joystick. Been slow in getting one.:-) I have the reflexes of...er....a snail under relativistic time dilation, and no hand-eye...

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...

I recently got a PMDG 737 - 600/700. I never functioned correctly, and I wrote the customer service department. No replies for my requests for help. I finally got hold of the PMDG bigwig, and he is a real Asshole! So don't buy anything from PMDG. They do not provide help with problems, and only...

I just recently bought FS2004 and I just looked at this group so forgive me for not knowing if this has been addressed before. In nearly all the aircraft I fly the joystick seems to be very sensitive. The plane jumps around quite a bit. I thought of reducing the sensitivity but was concerned that...

Anybody seen anything for us poor Canadians? Most citys except for Vancouver and Toronto are just a simple airstrip in the middle of an auto generated wheat field... Doug

OK, your patience please. I'm a very novice simmer. I'm a pilot trying to clean more rust off her instrument skills than I have flight time for, since the birth of my daughter. I'm trying to use MSFS '98 to fly instrument approaches. My husband has it configured with CH products yoke and...
