    I'm really enjoying FS2K4 - but it seems like we lost a few odds and ends in the upgrade? Maybe you folks can confirm?1.) Seems like all AI aircraft have the same strobe lights. I just shot a night approach into JFK, and all of the active AI aircraft on the ground had strobes blinking at the same instant. Wasn't this fixed in FS2K2?2.) ATIS messages. In a previous verion (not sure if it was FS2000 or FS2002) the ATIS messages would be garbled and weak if you were on the fringes of their reception area. Now, they suddenly just jump out at you.I'm not ####, mind you - just curious...!

    Hello,I have been adding third party scenery and testing out what works and what does not. I have noticed the main reason I am forced to dump scenery is because I am missing some road textures. It happens in many sceneries which leads me to believe there is some "shared" texture file that I am missing. Does anyone know what this file may be?? I have installed all the Nova textures, ASD, and VOD ones as well. Has anyone else run across this, and if so, did you fix it?Here is an example of what I am referring to. This was taken with the RPLL scenery, but also noted it happening on about 10 others.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/27867.jpgThank you for reading this m…

    anyone know why fs2002 gmax aircraft have bad flight dynamics when u import them into fs2004? Take Milton's dash 7 for example. It doesn't control at all well when your flying it. And its basically impossible to land it with the flaps down. Anyone knows why this is?

  7. Hi,I've got an ATI Radeon 9000 (not PRO) but I've got some troubles in FS2004 : there's no haze, as you can see on the screenshot below :(There's no sea, just a blue "wall" instead of haze.)http://damien.brunet1.free.fr/Captures_FS2004/Lille.jpgI'd like to get advice : users who have an ATI Radeon 9600 PRO, have you haze with it in FS2004.

    Last week I have upgraded my system to a P4 2400, 512Mb DDR FS800 (overclocked) Win XP Pro. I noticed an enormous boost from my old sys (PIII 800, 512 SDRAM, WinME). My VidCard remaind the same - GF3Ti200.Now following problem occures, after flying approx 10 minutes, the frame rate suddenly drops from 16.9 (I have locked it at 17) down to 5 or 6 sometimes even to 2.This happens when I fly into a dense scenery (e.g. add on airport) or when I turn during taxiing towards a complex building,. Then the FPS stays at this low level, no matter if I fly out of the dense area into sparse areas again or not.BTW I usually get 16.9 fps also at these dense areas, where it happens.I now…

    Today I downloaded a FedEx DC-10-30 repaint (dc10_fe3.zip) and from the rear mounted engine foward the plane is all sliver (the back of the plane is normal) I tried this plane in both FS2002 and FS2004 with the same results. Any ideas on how to fix this? I had a different plane like this and when I turned off the reflections it fixed the plane, but that didn't work with this plane.

    Support for our FS addons has been next to non-existent lately. Too many are ripping off flightsimmers and it's becoming the norm. What really makes me mad is they're getting away with it.BTW, I don't call good support when they return my email or answer posts in forums. I expect them to continue to support their products.Some addons I purchased recently were said to be compatible with 2004, that just a simple patch was needed. What BULL!! Now they sound like they don't have a clue.They need to wait for someone elses freeware utility to make it work correctly. This sounds familiar ??Some even have the nerve to announce new product before they patch their other recent rel…

    Hi all, Just a quick Q. regarding the forward panel views in FS2004. Back in the FS2002 days...remember that? When in 2-D panel mode you could adjust your forward view up and down using "shift-enter & shift-backspace". You could adjust your view in small say, 3 or 4 degree increments. Now in FS2004 when I do that I get huge incremental adjustments to my views. Say, I est. 10 -20 degree cahnges either up or down. Is this an intentional modification that M$ has made for FS2004? If so, is there a fix for this by eg. changing the panel.cfg file in a specific A/C or do we have to live with it as is? I would like to be able to change forward views in small increments…

    I noticed that if your Landing Gear did not show up in your AI Flights in FS2002 that the Landing Gear will not show up on your User A/C in FS2004. (Okay, honestly, how many of you out there were flying around without Landing Gear?)

    I purchased a VIDEO CARD using the nvidia 5600 ultra w/44.03 driver and, as with others, 2D panels in full-screen mode are not appearing.I have seen some indication that the 45.20 drivers correct this problem but there seems to be some question about this, based on my reading of various posts.So can someone with the above, or similar, video card give a DEFINITIVE answer to this, before I begin the download. Are 2D panels (along with GPS etc.) visible in FULL-SCREEN mode using the 45.20 beta drivers?Thanks.Bob

    hey,fs2004 runs awsome on my PC, of course this is IF I do not fly with clouds in 3d mode. I get the usuall stuttering and such which has forced me to either fly with only clear skys OR go to the "simple clouds/2d" option. So why can I not get an overcast layer with the 2d clouds? I understand how the sim restricts 3d overcast clouds for performance, but this should not be the case with 2d clouds. My system:Gateway P4 2.531gig ddr ramGeForce mx440 128mbI have all my settings MAXED OUT with the exception of disabling ground shadows and toning down the water detail. With 3d clouds I tried everything, draw distance of 40 miles, and played with all the cloud sliders BUT …

Mip mapping was set to low, so everything had a washed out look. 3D clouds were turned off and the 2D clouds looked worse than in FS2002. Frame rates were a low 9-12 fps in rural areas and a slideshow in cities and…
