where do I tell it to search for addon scenery?

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

Right open the game, when your at the main menu, for select a flight etc etc, then goto the option menu, on display options goto hardware and the fps lock is there, as for the scenery menu its on the same options thing ( display ) and is the default tab which will open.


I would screenshot it all for you, but I need to re-install thanks to a corrupt add-on I installed taking out most of the scenery. :mad:

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

Just got it re-installed so I thought I would post these if they help.

Yep found it thanks :tu:

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

Just wanted to ask if anyone does long haul flights in here e.g. Heathrow to Midway, and also, do you leave it in real time simulation or do you speed it up to like x8 or something?

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

I'm still learning how to fly!....I'd be happy when I can land without burning!...

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

I do long hauls and do them in real time.

If you use the autopilot properly you can't really go wrong. Go to create a flight and click "Flight planner", choose your departure and arrival airport, click "find route" and you'll see a line drawn between both locations, you can drag that line around to add waypoints allowing you to line up your aircraft with the correct runway, then, click on the runway and note down the ILS frequency (e.g. 108.80), tune NAV1 on your radio stack to that and turn on NAV1, turn on your autopilot and flight director, flick it to GPS, set a reasonable height and speed and enable altitude and airspeed on the AP too, take off manually, flick on the autopilot and it'll basically fly you to and line you up with the runway, you can adjust the altitude and speed in the AP when you get a bit closer, give it some flaps, whack your undercarriage down, flick it from GPS to NAV when you get around 20 miles from the runway and it SHOULD lock on to the ILS and bring the aircraft near enough all the way down to the runway automatically, flick it off at the last minute, flare, and you're down.

You'll need to play with it a bit but the essential thing to learn first is how to use the autopilot/gps and map.

I find that boring I like to bring in some fun such as low an high flying and navigate using maps, mainly though I use light airplanes though so long range is out of question.

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

After a corrupt plane made fs2004 on my pc stop working, I have had to totally uninstall it reg keys folders etc.

I have lost my f22 and f18's which I loved to fly, they are on Simviation.com but I cannot get them to download, I e-mailed the webmaster and he says those links are dead.

Anyone able to link to a very good quality f22 at the least I am missing that plane :(

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 questions
 

Does anyone know where you can get the star trek add on for fs2004? I had the shuttle pod, the delta flyer and a voyager for fs2004 with VC and panel and sounds...

Forgot the blinkin site and cannot find it on google :(

Re: Flight Simulator 2004 Disk 4 question?
 

I just loaded my new FS 2004 on my laptop. Didn't know I needed to have Disk 4 in order to run the program each time. Disk 4 is at home... I'm on the road.

Any way to bypass this requirement?

Thanks!
Jack

extract attached file, replace your FS9.exe (normally in C:\program files\microsoft games\fs9) with the one in the archive.

(if this sort of attachment isn't permitted I'll not complain if the post is deleted :))
