Can someone post or email me the manuals on the FS2002 CD's please? Mark

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...

I've just bought and installed MS Flight SimX and am beginning to regret it. It refuses to load, complaining that the MSXML component is missing and I should re-install FSX. OK, I thought, why didn't it just load it when it was installed? Nevertheless, I found MSXML SP2, installed that and...

Has anyone taken the mechanicals from the CH Products Virtual Pilot yoke (gameport version) and rewired it with the electrics from the current USB yoke? I haven't opened either of my yokes (one USB, two gameport) - yet - but the new USB unit is useless for precision flying, especially...

Wondering what the best program for FS9 , FS 2004 for designing scenery. I'm not looking for a freebie but a program that I can buy. I heard of Abacus EZ Scenery. Is there others. Please help PJ
