hello AVSIM!ill get to the point, im recently quite new to the world of Computer Flight Simulation i have several questions and querys that i would appreciate if you answered!1)can anyone send me a manual? or a guide or info on landing properly with a 737 for FS2000! remember im new, ive mastered takeoff etc but landings hard and the FS2000 manual is really poor! is there any guides or guages that can aid me with regards to landing speeds and Flap References in the flight??? thankyou2)Are there any weather generation utilites for FS2000 that are downloadable out there on the net, i mean ones that dont require an internet connection etc, just a simple, random weather gener…

Hi!Has anyone detected config-files in FS 2004?Like "sound-config", "general FS-config", etc.I can't see any at all!Happy for help!Hans HermanssonSWEDEN

I'm finding I can't save a flight and use it as my default flight in FS2k4. I get a message the next time the sim is started stating "The aircraft cannot be found"... Any suggestions???

How much hard drive do I need for FULL maximum install of fs2004?Thanks

I don't know if others have noticed this but there seems to be an overkill with haze at higher altitudes (kind of looks like MS chose to cap the viewable distance in order to improve framerates). My sliders are maxed out but it seems my viewable terrain doesn't extend out as far as it did in FS2002. Kind of kills it for me as far as high altitude flight goes. Maybe it's my video card (ATI 9700pro).

Hello!I tried to use some of my FS 2002 prop planes in FS 2004, but theengines won't start (of course I know how to start)Does anyone know what to do about this?Hans HermanssonSWEDEN

Hi All, What exactly is FS9? I see this all the time but no clue to what it is. Is it another name for the sim?ThanksJim

OK, Perhaps it is just me perhaps not...Did I just enter the wrong site?I Posted a very informative and detailed post concerning the poor Anti-piracy encryption from Macrovision that MS is using with FS2k4 that will not allow the game to run after it is installed on some syetms that use very common hardware, that is a retail version installation.MS has not been able to resolve this, further the want a few days to work on this...Many tried to help with different good suggestions that sadly do not work...someone posted the only fix that allowed me to at least use the game that I purchased by means of the new CD crack (that everyone will be using soon just like FS2k) which o…

Ok folks, I'm gonna try again. Can someone answer my plea!!! Will FS2004/ACOF work on these specs: (probably not but here you are :-lol)1.5 Ghz Celeron processor512 DDR RAMGeForce 2 MX/MX 400 32MB Graphic/Video card (not sure what it is: graphic or video card.)Windows ME (sadly this is the pointless bit. I know there are problems with ME) Cheers,Greg WillsThe gregster has landed! :-wave

I'm enjoying FS2004, and my system is working great with it. Very fluid, and very few stutters. I think I've tweaked the AA just right now (using Dell 8250 with 2.8gig and 512RDRAM-ATI Radeon 9700), after MUCH experimenting. However....THE EAGLESOFT PREMIER AND Beechjet 400A STUTTER HORRIBLY ON THE TAKEOFF ROLL AND IN THE AIR. TOTALLY UNFLYABLE! My Carenado 210 flies well, and I'm about to try the 310. IT HAS TO BE THE PLANE, NOT THE SYSTEM. Are any of you flying the Eaglesoft products successfully? If so...how?Let's keep talking about what works and doesn't work in this forum. It really helps, and I'm sure we can work things out to the satisfaction of most. …

Ok.. I talked BestBuy guy to get me one from the back. I've been trying to install for last 2 hours. At first I was able to get late into CD3 and kept bring up not able to extract file X due to Low Memory (probably caused by small swap file size). I kept trying, then it started happening on CD 1!! I set all memory to system controls setting. Rebooted about 15 times... Now, it is just an endless circle. Please help.My system is as follows : WinXP SP1, 1gig Ram, 160gig HD, P4 2.4, Radeon 9800 pro 256mb.. ???BillyBob

This is crazy, most if not all my FS2k2 panels don't work with FS2k4. This new sim really has a problem with gauges which really boggles my mind since MS and Beta testers have claimed such great compatibility. I can't understand why a sim that shares so much with it's earlier predecessor has problems like these. This is almost like what when I switched from FS98 to FS2000. I'm sorry to say this but FS2000's code is basically the foundation here, FS2k2 and FS2k4 are updates on that same graphic engine. We should not be seeing issues to this degree, I mean most if not all FS2002 panels have some sort of problem and that's crap, not to mention FSDS1 planes don't work bu…

I have both on my system although on different drives and have noticed a strange occurence.I rarely use FS2002 but on clicking on FS2002 to execute it I get a message "wait while a new database is created" this happens even when I havent added scenery.The strange thing is that having used FS2004 with a clean startup on every occasion when I have opened FS2002 the next time I use FS2004 same message comes up in FS2004. Again no scenery added. Any ideas and are there any other cross problems holding FS2002 and FS2004 together?Peter

Hi AllWith all the building hype surrounding FS2004, does anyone know whether Micro$oft have addressed the various 'Gripes' that have been noted in FS2002? Things like the harsh way cloud layers are drawn as a cutoff line when visibility is reduced. Or the poor way clouds deal with mountains poke through with nasty jaged edges.How about the poor way AI aircraft behave....? (climbing at 11000ft per min etc & flying way too fast?) Or dissappearing into thin air after landing etc etc.....What about the AI sounds... instead of that dull 'drone' that sounds more like a Vacuum cleaner.... Lets hear the enging & prop pitches change... Reverse thrust kick in & when …

I am looking for some help in opening the IFDG 767F UPS 767 cargo door.I down loaded the UPS 767 from the Avsim library and cannot figure out how to open the cargo doors. I can only get the pax (ShiftE) to work. There was a screen shot of the door in the open state so I think is operational.Terry

Hi, I've seen many post regarding incompatibility issues with FS2004 (ATI 9800/9700, Geforce MX series) I'm sure it will be solved in the near future with a new set of drivers.But now how would be the Dream machine to Run FS2004? Intel 3.0 Ghtz with HT support, The 3.2 Would be great but its too Expensive $$$$1 GB of RAM, maybe SDRAM PC3200??? (Would FS beneffit from 1gb? Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember FS2002, could not use more than 512 MbVideo Card???? maybe Geforce 5200/5900? Help me here.(128/256 MB Video Card???)Sound Card? definetly Audigy 27200 RPM barracuda Style HDXP, Pro/Home... Any REAL difference between this two OS???2 Lovely LCD 19 inch monitors Flat Panel…

How do I speed up the panning while in VC mode in FS2k4??? Panning around the cockpit now is very slow...

I saw on Thursday on the Simware site they would have it the next day to send out (Yesterday), I doubt anyone has had it yet from them, but was wondering, I ordered it that night and had email yesterday saying "items available will be sent today".But I didn't get a tracking number, not sure if I was suposed to or not.Anyway, if anyone has news on this as and when they have it I'd grateful to hear about it. Like if you got tracking number and how long it took to get to you, I'm in the UK.Thanks.

Hi all,Bumpmaps...From what I've experienced (and read), using bumpmap graphics apparently provides the best "overall" water effect. I just want to try and clear up one thing:Bumpmap rendering is NOT animated. It looks good and it reflects ambient light; but it does not shimmer in the sun and the waves on the surface do not move. Waves are still visible lapping along shorelines; but there is not any wave movement, rippling, etc. in open water.I'm not stating this as fact... I'm saying this is what I'm seeing on my system. If I'm wrong - please correct me!Regards,Marc

If the release date is the 29th July, why is Avsim only shipping on that date. I understand that they are complying with MSOFTS stupid date release that many other retailers and suppliers have ignored, and i'll bet there will be no repocussions as dollars are dollars, but even a nutter would realize that if you ship on a date, that it will be after that date that a consumer will receive it.The Outer Limits? I wish i knew!

I am looking for a great, flyable 757 (series # doesn't matter) for FS2004/02...it can be freeware, shareware, or payware...just looking for something that looks great and is "true" to life as can be.Thanks...Josh[div align=center][link:www.jetdoc.com/STO/]Visit The Bookstore & Gift Shoppe][/b

Just wondering if anyone's tried it on a system like this - It's a PIII 500 upgraded to Tualatin 1.2 with 360 mb ram and a Diamond Viper 770 32 Ultra vid card.Thanks!Andrew

No matter what setting I set my sliders to, once I'm off the ground at about 12,000 feet and/or above my frame rates take a nose dive. I tried a flight from KSAN to KPHX tonight and had to stop the sim it was so bad. Certain clouds create a framerate mess and if you can't get high enough (I was using MS's downloadable weather), your flight is going to suck. Maybe Chris Willis at FSW GROUP will design some clouds that are a little more friendly on framerates. Guess I'm back to flying FS2002 tonight, it's amazing the difference in performance in these two sims. I still find myself appreciating FS2k2...Les D.Dell P4 2.6gig 800fsbATI 9700 Pro 100gig SDRAM100gig HDP.S. FS…
