Hi all...need your veteran fs opinion. Building a pc for my Dad. Basically just a surfing and emailing machine. He likes some casino games so this is what the rig is built for. I was thinking of loading fs 2000 as a little bonus. I need to know if it will run ok on the system. AMD XP 2500...

Having gotten my rudder-pedals set up, I fired up FS2002 with the idea of landing commandos on top of buildings in Manhattan. I surprised myself (though probably only I would have been surprised) by my ability to even get as close as I did to buildings. However, instead of touching down, I fell...

Hi my FS2004 starts and on the intro screen a pop up window comes up "Microsoft Flight Simulator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and it closes i used i have tried the microsoft support and did not help. Any help would be nice thanx btw i run Xp...

Bonjour à tous, je souhaite vous faire part de ma déception concernant le simulateur de vol Lock-On Modern Air Combat d'Ubi Soft pour PC. En réalité, j'ai acheté la version française du produit, version qui s'intitule Lock On Combat Aircraft Simulation. Ce produit est vendu dans un petit boîtier...

Nearing the end of the FSX install, approximately 1hour and thirty minutes, I get the message: "Error 1722 There is a problem with this Windows installer. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." Acknowledging this...

I'm curious -- why don't flight simulators include an option to show real-time / real world traffic (now that these data are available)? The MSFS "AI traffic" just isn't good enough to capture my interest... It seems to me this would be a boon to flight simulation in terms of "realness" and to...

I hope not, as it doesn't ship on CD but DVD :) "Blue" wrote in message ... Is FSX going to require a noCD hack like fs9?

How can I return to NAV mode, after been in A/A or A/G modes? Thanks

A friend and I are having difficulty connecting to each other in multiplayer in Falcon 4. We both have the same build of the software (unpatched). He is connected to the internet directly, I am trying to connect using a gateway connection and a direct connection with no luck. Both of us are...

Having flown to an island etc at night I find I cannot locate the airstrip due to no VASI or runway lights. Is there any way of adding them to the existing scenery?? Switching to daylight seems a bit of a cheat :0( Rog

Don't tell me to install Linux. I know that. It's currently not an option. I downloaded and installed FG on a fairly capable XP system (1.6ghz AMD 256 RAM and a good video card) and was blown away by the frame rate. Like one second per frame even in the lower resolution modes? I shut down all the...

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...

Are there any patches for FS2004? When is the next great FS2005 or whatever being released? I can't wait. JMN

Thanks.

Any tips ?

Recently got both of these games... they both have the same prob... they install fine, run fine, i can 'play' the game, right up until i try to load a mission, the display either tiles several times across my screen or it it squashes maybe 100 times and i end up with slithers of the screen, i can...

I've just installed CH Pro rudder and pedals, gameport version, and can't seem to get the rudder control to work correctly. In the calibration area the rudder and throttle are both assigned to the Z axis and I'm unable to change it. Shouldn't the rudder be assigned to the "R" axis? The...

I'm running FS2004 and from the moment I start it up my cpu is running at 100% according to Task manager. My system is an Athlon 1.34 GHz cpu with 896meg RAM and a NVIDEA GeForce4MX440 with AGP8X.0 video card. I am running my monitor at 1280 X 1024 with 32 bit color selected. The result is...

I just downloaded & installed a Lancair Legacy 2000 for FS2004 today from flightsim.com. It is an incredible aircraft, and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a high performance single engine homebuilt. It is fully compatible with FS2004, and I have been having a blast with it....

I notice in a number of flight simultors that the airports tend to be lit up far brighter than they are in real life. In FS2004 you can pick out the airport pretty easily by the spot green light or runway lights that kind of jump out of the scenary. In real life it is much more subtle, especially...
