ok, I've taken the plunge and bought fs2004...
...after the 4 disc install (min is 2GB and max is 3.8GB) I loaded up a plane just to get going...but tbh found the graphics pretty crap
The plane itself looked ok, cessna, but the scenary was poo
Luckily, I knew the default scenary was basic and had already bought the Abacus European Terrain addon.
Question: Is there a better scenery pack for the UK?
...but after the install, I saw no difference in detail
Question Do you have to enable to addon scenery somewhere?
TBh, I thought the whole Sim would play better. I have a GeForce 5900 Ultra 256MB (cheers KP!
) with ALL the settings at their highest...and the buildings still look shoddy
I was expecting to be able to fly over my house in a chopper and see it!...at the moment I'm finding it hard even to find my house! ...roads aren't where they are supposed to be!...tho it could be my nav!
Do I have too high expectations expecting to be able to see my house! ...which I'm sure I read somewhere that you're supposed to be able to do...
Also, I bought some Military choppers, but they seem to go ape after a few mins!....the chopper just jumps about the place
looking at the flight path it's shows exactly that things arn't right (will post a screen grab of a flight path!)
Another question is...is it possbile to get some panel view on a seperate monitor. I have my main screen and a 17"CRT as a shared desktop. I can move my mouse over to the second monitor, but I'm unable to drag any of the panel views accross... Is there a setting to span the game accross a second monitor?
p.s. I bought some Military Choppers...and wanted to bomb my old school
