As someone who is not in a particular hurry to move to FSX, I am pleased that this FS9 forum has been set up.However, what happened to the Hardware section of the "old" FS2004 forum?

Don't believe that it was really part of the "old FS2004 Forum", but a separate forum with a link that was provided at the top.That link is still just like it was, but at the top of the FSX forum now. When you go to that link, I believe you will find that the hardware posts are generic, not exclusive to any one MSFS version.Hope this helps.RTH

Thanks!
