I own several add-ons to FS2004. Namely Air Hauler, FSPassengers, Delta, United, and Northwest Adventures, and Airline Pilot, just to name a few. I do however have a problem which makes most of these add-ons worthless in FS2004. It seems no matter which add-on I run, after everything is set up and I get in the cockpit, the aircraft becomes a bear to handle. At push back, the aircraft wants to go into circles. Taxiing becomes a nightmare and if I actually get the aircraft to the runway to takeoff, after I'm cleared by ATC, I begin takeoff and the aircraft immediately wants to pull to the left and renders my stick useless. no matter how much input I put in to the right, the aircraft continues to want to go left, and I end up in the weeds. Let me also add that without these add-ons, just running FS2004, my aircraft run smooth. I also had a situation where I ran a United flight through United adventures and decided to create a different flight with an aircraft that is a breeze to fly.....not through the United adventures, and it was as if it saved the settings of the previous flight and my smooth ride with my trusty "easy to fly" aircraft turned into a nightmare. I had to exit out of FS2004, and re-run it. Anyone else fighting with this and have a fix?

I fly Both the C and D model 1900 and for the life of me cannot get the AP to engage. I set my altitude for say...2000', and out of climb she just wants to keep climbing and climbing. I've short hopped a few times hoping to get up and down...a quick practice flight, only to discover I'm at 6000' and need to descend fast to get within approach to land. I'm fairly new flying, so more than likely I'm doing something wrong, but it seems like I should be able to input an altitude and the aircraft should respond in a reasonable amount of time, If it helps, I'm inputting altitude on the upper-right hand altitude dial on the main panel, then opening up the throttle panel and engaging AP/ALT. I've engaged FD with AP/ALT but that doesn't help. I've tested the AP system with FD on and off and she still wants altitude. Anyone want to give me a short course on flying the AP panel? Thanks ~Mark
