I am not sure why this worked out this way. But I turned of my firewall and presto-chango real weather worked in FS2004 even though it was working ok in FS2002 and the permissions in the firewall was set for accept "always" :cool: :oops: :mad:

Hi, I'm having a problem with missing fonts in cfs, cfs2, and other applications, such as Win Media Player. All I see are zeros or squares where the letters should be. Is there a certain font that these applications use? Thanks for your help, Louis

Are there any good websites to visit to download some good freeware aircraft skins for the default aircraft in Fs2004 ?? Thanks. Phil.

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.

HI, Need flight buddy to answer questions I may need answered .. Thanks for everything

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...

I wanted to reply to a thread about someone asking about ATC simulators, but I haven't managed to work out how to use the newsgroups properly yet - so I apologise for starting a new thread. My husband has developed a new London Control ATC simulator. It's going to be released at the end of...

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 would like to read about the operation of FS2004 and about how to fly the aircraft. Longer articles are better. I would like to review flight recordings too if anyone has them or knows where to download them. Is there any way to spectate someone else flying? I know there is online play. Maybe...

I see a lot of posts regarding MS FS here. Anyone use On Top 9 (www.asa2fly.com/product1.asp?SID=1&Product_ID=756&)? I find it very good for serious IFR procedures practice. My only complaint is that it is very touchy in the pitch axis. Any others experience this? Greg

I would like to find a simulator that will do acrobatics in a more or less realistic manner. When i was flying the real ones the most fun that I had was doing acrobatics. I have bought every version of MS Flight Sim and have taken them off the machine after a few tries, because they don't,...

I haven't gotten the hang of using the GPS unit so far in FS9. My problem is I set up a flight plan and it gets loaded in the GPS unit and I take off and ATC directs me, etc and everything is fine. In route I find the active runway that I will be landing at. How do I get the localizer info then...

Mr. Admin. Suppose I have never tried an air sim before (yes I know :shock2: ) What could you do to convince me to try one, I mean what is the purpose?? 8)

I'm starting flying lessons this week, and I'd like to have an accurate simulator to practice with as well. I currently have FS 2004, CH pedals, and a Saitek stick/throttle, and I'm looking to get a CH yoke. I just found out about x-plane and understand it has a very good flight model. I'll...

Is there any working VATSIM ATC client for Mac? I know about MacRadarScope, but as with proController you can't connect to VATSIM network with it anymore. johan

I tried to fly the Cessna 152 with CH Yoke & Pedal. However, I have a problem that I don't understand. Unlike the real airplane, this one keeps go up and down for no reason even if I let go the yoke. The RPM did the same thing, up and down. In the real airplane, I either go up or down, depend on...
