Please, please create a limited feature demo version of your products so we can try before we buy. I just spent an hour and a half using the demo version of MAAM's Briefing Time. I'm sold and just ordered my CD. Now having said that, there are some addons I have purchased that looked wonderful in screens and commentary, but after I got them, there was something that I didn't like which would have been obvious to me in a demo version.I can't be that hard to create a demo version of your releases. I understand a time-locked version might be compromised by a resourceful hacker, but a demo that simply has less features cannot be hacked. I don't mind looking at jpegs of featur…

Sorry about this post being off topic but im out of ideas fixing my problem. For the past 5 months I experience severe computer restarts(crashes)with out warning, Basically the computer restarts on its own while I work on it. I already got the power supply, motherboard, heatsink and fan replaced with no luck. I made a discovery today that my CPU reaches temperature of 40+ and once it touches the 45 degrees barrier it automatically restarts. I tried refitting the heatsink in with many different kinds of expensive thermal compounds like "Arctic Silver3" but then it dosen't help at all. Its just really sad that im gone from the simming community for about 5 mont…

I've replaced all the default aircraft with commercial aircraft and now occasionally I come across an airport with a couple of aircraft stuck in a loop.Is this because I substituted too large an aircraft for the original default? Like, I replaced the "Caravan" slot with an A319. Is that why they're circling? They can't fit in the gate assigned to the flight plan? By the way, I haven't changed the original default flight plans, just the planes that fly them.They taxi ride around and around and "morph" through the terminal or other parked aircraft.I'm going to try substituing craft more similar in size. Like a Saab 340 for a Caravan to see if that makes a difference.Am…

Hi guys i was wondering what ever happend to that new Empire State building?? that someone was making i think it was newyorkflyer not sure please let me know thanks.

I am currently running 31.00 drivers and decided to upgrade to the 42.86 drivers from the Guru.When installed I noticed that changing views there is a slight delay each presumably while the new textures are loaded. This doesn't happen with the 31.00 drivers. I have gone back to the 31.00 drivers as this is unacceptable particularly when negotiating a turn on to finals.I have a GeForce 2 Ultra GTS with XP, 768 mb RAM and an AMD 2100+ processor.Any thoughts?

Been using the full install packages at http://www.projectai.combut they don't have one for Northwest airlines. I am not good with traffic tools. Anyone suggest a way or a site where I can get a "full package" for northwest airlines ai aircraft and get it working quickly in fs2002?Thanks

Hi everyone,I actually meet some troubles with the GPS Garmin of the Piper Meridian : when I launch the Piper Meridian, there is a blue initialization screen on the GPS Garmin screen. On this blue page, there a flashing indication "OK" but when I click on "ENT", nothing happens ; the indication goes on flashing !In brief, I can't use the GPS Garmin because the blue initialization screen doesn't want to disappear. :-fumePlease, could you help me ?Best regards,;-)Damien BRUNET.

Hello all,This is the weirdest thing I have experienced with FS2002. Whenever I use a non-default aircraft (such as POSKY 767-300 V3), the framerates are OK in spot view at the start of a flight but after I switch to cockpit view and stay there for a while and then switch back to the spot view, the framerate goes from about 13-15fps to 4-6fps. The only way I could fix the low fps is to use crtl-tab to get to the desktop and then return to FS2002. Anyone know a solution to this problem? I have re-installed and even reformatted my C: drive but the problem keeps occuring. Nothing else is running on my computer when I use FS2002 (I used ctrl-alt-delete to check and make …

I noticed this folder as a subfolder in fs2002. There are some subnfolders inside, a couple referring to the lear 45 and three others that reference efis. What is this stuff for, and can I safely delete the folder? thanks!Sherm

Somehow I've managed to overwrite my original panel.cfg for the FS2k2777-300. Any chance someone could e-mail me a copy or tell me how to retrieve it from the CD.

This is the POSKY 747-400 v3 (Virgin Atlantic). Why does it appear as though the light on the rear of the tail is a fireball? Anyone else ever see this? ThanksJohn-Paul

My FS2002 has recently developed a strange bug. Pressing alt in full screen mode no longer brings up the task bar at the top of the screen.All action freezes, but no task bar. Also FSnavigator no longer shows, either in docked or window mode. However when I use FS2002 in window mode (i.e with the task bar showing all the time) all is well, and FSnavigator also displays as normal. This all seemed to start immediately after loading a recently installed freeware aircraft.My system is PIII 866, 384 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 64 MBAny ideas ?Thanks, Flyfish

Hi all,Had a hard disk go bad this morning, and my system crashed badly. Gateway 1.4 gig Athlon....2 years old. I lost everything that wasn't backed up (many of my payware planes and registration codes weren't backed up). Gateway will replace the hard drive, and I'm just going to sell the system to someone I know. I ordered a Dell 8250 today with all the best pieces. Video card, sound card, etc were all their best or next to best choices. Ordered the 2.80 gig pentium.However....I was told that the new 18 inch Flat screen LCD monitor, when attached to a system like this, will perform very well in Flight Simulation, and that I didn't need to think a CRT would be noticably b…

I can use SDRAM 133 or PC2700 DDRAM. On my motherboard I am using 1gig of pc133sdram, would it be better if I switch to pc2700 ddram 512 and would FS2002 run better?

Hi, My name is Mitchell and I am a 13 year old boy who just has a heart for flying. I have all the goodies for flightsim and I love real flying to. I am a regular visitor to the flightsim sites looking for new downloads and if appealing I might even purchase something. Well, I found out about the eDimensional 3d wired glasses and read tons of reviews that just praised them. So, I saved up the $80 to get them.Now, here I am 3 months later completly dissatisfied because of 1:the extremely poor quality of the simulator when 3D is turned on (two images of the runway centerline and constant flickering of the image, sometimes even movement of the screen, if you will). 2:the"goo…

I'm looking for some good mesh scenery and was wondering if anybody out there has any they especially like??Freeware preferred :)Shane

Hi all,Anyone know where I can get some approach charts for Juneau Int?.Thanks in advanceDan.

There are some aboslutely great commerical products out there for FS2002, PSS Airbus, Dreamfleet 737 and Cardinal series, Flight One's Meridian, Golden Eagle, and DC9, PSS Dash 8 and Captain Sims 727. I am surprised that one of these payware companies has not and does not seem to be planning for, developing a high fidelity private jet, such as the Citation X,Gulfstream or Beech Jet. How many people would buy such a product? Especially if it comes with a great flight model, fantastic visuals and all of the cockpit goodies. Come on, one you these companies could produce it and I think people would buy it. Most people like to fly short to medium range plans (just look a…

Wow what a difference this machine is! Finally got my new race horse built, and FS is a new ballgame! So sweet to run the Falcon 50 and my new fav the Dash 8 at max everything, plus ActiveSky, FSFlightMax, in ANY area, at max settings (except: Terrain Texture Detail at 84%) at 1792 x 1344 x 32 with 16x AF and have it run liquid smooth.

Hey guys, AWESOME work on the new aircraft!! :) :)But the pilots are missing their textures ;)Just a heads up :)Shane

I just upgraded to a new system with Win XP Home. My previous system has Win XP Pro and will be delegated to support for WideFs, etc. In addition, there are two other e-machine systems for left/right front views. All four are networked. I have just learned that I can't move files to the new Win XP home version if they are going to My Computer or Program Files. Is this due to Home vs. Pro version ? I have the Win XP Pro upgrade, but I recall that once it is installed on one system, that is it, and you must run out and buy another version unless something can be worked out with Microsoft. Not sure if all or any of this is true ? Any guidance is much appreciated.

OK, we're getting down there now where we have to start thinking about the last leg, and the special rules that I alluded to in my original rules post.You have a choice:OPTION 1:Race the other forum to KLGA in New York. Whoever gets there first is declared the winner. The winning team waits there for the other team to arrive, then both teams travel on the final leg to Boston together. Once we arrive in Boston, there will be options to do group flights, aerobatics, formation flying, group flyouts, whatever. Bottom line: General Festivities to celebrate. I'd make a seperate post and invite everyone on both forums to join, regardless of whether they participated or not.…

Here's a technical question, concerning some files that are currently sitting in my FS2002 folder.As I seem to be rapidly running out of HD space, I've been checking my FS2002 directory, and there are a number of very large files there. These are all 1,103,041KB in size, dated as follows:Filename Date1AE 16/2/031F3 16/2/034 17/2/03B4 19/2/031 20/2/032 20/2/033 20/2/03E 20/2/0313 20/2/037F 20/2/031A 21/2/03Does anyone have any idea what they are ?Obviously having 12Gb of potentially useless files, I'm curious as to whether they can be safely removed !Any help would be appreciated !Alastair

Paul,If you are around, we all would like you to fly the final "race" leg into KLGA.See RTW Thread#9. Topic #2 (posted by MM, after Johan's flight thread).Or if you cannot, perhaps you would lead the "celebration lap" from KLGA to KBOS.What can we do to convince you?Mike
