I've got a 1Ghz Duron PC with a NVidia 16Mb AGP card. So, should I buy FS 2004 now, or wait until I get a better PC? tdh

Hi, running MS FS 2004 on multiple screens is cool. However, I was not able to figure out how I can save a configuration for this. I always have to reopen the extra windows when I restart FS 2004. Is there no chance to save (multiple) configurations for this so I can start with my last setup...

I recently decided to clean up my computer by uninstalling fs2004, getting rid of any freeware add-ons I don't use but have installed, and then reinstalling fs2004. The only catch is that one of the freeware planes I installed overwrote the fs2004 uninstaller with its own. I checked out...

Started to have problems with FS9. Get the famous 'send report'. It complains about D3D9.DLL. Goggled and it something with Directx. I was trying to get to run Directx and see if all the componets are okay. Does anybody remember where I run Directx to see whic versions and components are...

I have a high end system running a 128 MB DDR ATI Radeon Pro video card. Is there any advantage to using 32 bit video when "flying" FS9, or will I get a little better performance running in 16 bit - or does it even make a difference. Thanks.... P4 3.2 GHz with 1024 MB DDR SDRam (400 Mhz)

Hi, I'm relatively new to FS2004, and I'm just trying to learn to land the 747 using ILS and autopilot. I've set up a flight where I'm just about to capture the glide path at 2000ft at Sydney airport. I have no problem capturing the glide path. Alt switches off on the autopilot when I intercept....

I'm looking around for good joystick/rudder/throttle combos for the MS FS 2004 that I finally installed on my HP Pentium 4 1.6 GHz Pavilion 760n running XP (that detail so you get a reference frame for what the system might support). So far I see among the higher-end stuff the CH products, and the...

I am looking to join MS Flight Simulator clubs in north New Jersey or NYC. I havent found any club yet. Is there anyone who could help me? Thanks.

Is there flight simulator software available which runs in a network cofiguration whereby an instructor could establish training scenarios for multiple students at one time? -- Richard Kaplan www.flyimc.com

Hey, does anyone have a problem getting aircraft to land at KPSP? Takeoffs are fine, landings at other airports are fine and even approaches are fine at KPSP. They approach at about 2,400 ft 10 mi out, then climb abruptly to 3500 ft 6 mi out, then it's too late to make a proper decent. They go...

Would someone please tell me how to easily find the refueling pumps at the airports without having to spend a half hour taxiing around looking for them in FS2004? In FS2000, they were always ringed by a flashing yellow square which made them easy to find. In FS2004, they are located in the...

Is there any setting that will prevent the scenery from just "popping" into view as you fly toward it. It is pretty non-realistic the way this happens.

I am trying really hard to learn this program. The Flight Planner sometimes seems more trouble than it's worth. Can anyone email me, as attachments, some good, complicated, detailed flight plans for me to run and learn from? It would be appreciated. -- Dave Schwartz Commack, NY

Can anyone please give me specific step by step instructions on how to install this patch. Exactly which file should I rename to "original." Where is it exactly? Come on, help me out, please. Thanx --

New to this newsgroup. Have read all messages posted in search of an answer to my quandry and found such a basic subject is not currently covered. I have been unable to get the Game Controller to recognize the brake pedals. Rudder action is o.k. but neither left nor right brake responds to...

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...
