A Google search for a scenery.cfg tool led me to this topic: http://forum.avsim.n...nizer-for-fsx/ It's too old to reply to it, so I thought to just mention here that I found this freeware/open source editor that does the job: http://fs-sceditor.s...net/index.html

I would go for the yoke. Simulating aircraft needs realistic controls. Personally I prefer good controls over easy/realistic viewing in VC. And yes, I do own TrackIR4 as well and yes it's very good.

Search for 'Selection Correction gauge' by Rob Barendregt in the AVSIM file library and install it as instructed. Works fine here! :D Edit:BTW: This is an FS2004 related issue, not PMDG related.

Hahaha, thanks for the detailed report of the future things and stuff! :+

Not sure if this was asked before. Considering the known weather limitations of FS2004, at this moment ActiveSky provides all I can think of. This made me wonder what you guys have in store for us in future releases. Just curious... ;-)

@Gary: Thanks for your info. An occasional drop below 25 FPS is no problem. As long as the sim keeps running smooth it's ok. I hate that jerky view on short final... ;)@Rhett: If I go for it, I'll post the results here.

Hi fellow simmers. Probably this was asked before, I'm sorry for that. Did try to search but could not find a thread with this hardware.I am now running an AMD Athlon 64 3500 on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. I have 1 GB of RAM and an ATI X800XL 256MB videocard.My intention is an Intel 6600 Core 2 Duo, an i965 chipset based motherboard, 2 GB RAM. Videocard will be upgraded later, SLI not needed.Is there anyone among us who also upgraded from an Athlon 64 3500? If so, upgraded to what? Can I expect an (ohoh ;) ) FPS boost in FS2004 running on WindowsXP? I'm using the mainstream addons: PMDG series, LDS 767, ActiveSky, Ultimate Terrain Europe, AI traffic pack, RadarContact and some detailed sceneries of my favourite European airports. I'm aiming at a minimum FPS of 25 during landing at 'busy AI airports' (like EHAM) with real world weather...Please share your upgrade experiences with me or direct me to a thread with usefull info.Thanks everbody!

Hi Dave, I'm also about to buy a 16:10 screen. Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the screen showing FSX incl. a 2D panel? Not that I don't believe you, it's just that I wonder what it looks like. Thanks!

Not sure if this forum is the best one to post this. Moderator feel free to move/copy it.Take a look here! http://www.paolodeangelis.com/

Don't know if you use FSNavigator, I do. I generate a flightplan in FSNavigator. Within FSNav the plan can be exported to PMDG format (to be imported in the FMC) and FS2004 (to be used by ASv6) format. In order to export to PMDG format, you need to download/install the proper DLL. It can be found on AVSIM (http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=38503). Don't know if there is a way to convert the PMDG FMC saved routes into FS2004 format...I believe the FSBuild (http://www.fsbuild.com) flightplanning tool also supports the PMDG and FS2004 format. I do not own FSbuild, so am not sure.

Adding to that:Almost any router supports multiplayer games initiated from a localy attached PC. So joining an FS multiplayer host is no problem. However, if you want to host a multiplayer session, you need to configure your router so it directs the incoming outside world traffic to the PC running as host.

I don't know what the tutorial specifies, but is the autopilot used? Ones I had altitude set to 0 and turned on AP with ALT active while on the ground. The plane then tried to maintain the altitude of 0 feet no matter what I did....

My first sim must have been in 1980, so about 26 years ago. Sub-Logic FS1 on the Tandy TRS80. Have also used Commodore C64 and Amiga versions. I then switched to the IBM platform. Have not missed a single version since then and still love it!
