i might have to try flight sim its seems like quite a fun game tbh aha. nice shots

[Lee]

Yeah you should!!!! Thanks :)

[Deeb]

What flight sim is that? I have Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 and the graphics are TERRIBLE.

[Lee]

That is FSX, though there's no reason as to why FS9 should be below a reasonably less quality...

[Deeb]

I've just finished downloading FSX, will need to install later and see if it's any better :)

[Lee]

FSX will hit your PC hard if you dont have a decent sized hard drive - just so you know :)

[Deeb]

Yeah I got to install 20 parts! Once I've downloaded it I'll post some shots myself.

[Zuth]

If only my copy would let me install it!

Great shots Leon :)

[Lamz]

just downloaded the demo... it looks like a good game

[xxMATTGxx]

Well it would if it hasn't been configured correctly in terms of graphics etc.

[Catchy]

a flight sim aint rly a game imo

is to me :L & i'm pretty crap at flying these planes

[Lee]

So was I - back in the day I used to always be on xxMATTGxx case about how to do this and that. Its amazing how you can progress to such realism :)

I always end up over-speeding or over-steering and end up in the sea :L

[Lee]

Lol - all you need to do is practise and post screenshots here. It's my intention at somepoint to get the FSX active again :)

[iFlame]

It's a alright game, not my best tho.

[Lee]

:) People play it but only use the default planes which is a bit of a downer because that isn't the true FSX experience!

[Zuth]

I've finally managed to install it :) Now to start learning again :) ,Alpha, where you get more planes from?

[Lamz]

has any1 got a link to the full version?

[Lee]

http://www.avsim.net/ is good - I prefer payware plane Google PMDG and WilcoPub. MSN me for more info on the payware ones ;)


has any1 got a link to the full version?

You need to buy it if you want the full version :(

[cocaine]

@xxMATTGxx (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=1020) was that you? I cant land to save my life.

if you have the ils frequencies for runways you can programme them in and use autoland for a while until you're like 200ft up

also lol i used to be a controller on vatsim back in the day. stansted luton and (for a brief while) i was on heathrow. gd times

Autoland until 200ft? Autoland can land the plane :)

[cocaine]

Autoland until 200ft? Autoland can land the plane :)

yeah hence the term 'autoland'. i mean if you struggle to land but want to do the actual landing part yourself you can use autoland then disengage autopilot at 200ft. by that time everything's configured correctly you just literally need to not touch anything until you tilt back a bit and touchdown

[Zuth]

I've just managed to land my first jet (Half on the runway) using ILS but for some reason it made the jet turn just before we landed? ,Alpha, what FSX you got? FSX or FSX 2004?

[xxMATTGxx]

Let's prevent some confusion here.

There is no "FSX 2004"

In terms of what you are talking about it's the following:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight

Now this has been called many things over the years and people call it: Flight Simulator 2004, FS2004 or FS9.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Flight Simulator X or FSX.

[xxMATTGxx]

Is this the new Flight Sim thread? Maybe we should change the title of the thread haha :P

[Zuth]

FGS, just tried to land again, i line it all up, turn ILS on and it started turning away and went around the runway? :( xxMATTGxx sounds good idea :D

are you sure you're using the right frequency?

[Zuth]

are you sure you're using the right frequency?

Heathrow I'm using 110.30 which is what comes up when I click the runway on the map :S

[Deeb]

Love that video of you landing :)

[Lee]

I'm happy with it being if you are! xxMATTGxx

That's amazing! Is FSX the newest game out? I might buy it on disc easier to install.

[Lee]

Deeb, Microsoft Flight Simulator was discontinued by microsoft after they made FSX however they have started a new game called Microsoft Flight. There where detailed discussions on the forum recently on that game so check them out however I recommend FSX and FS9 :)

It's the newest proper flight simulator, Microsoft Flight is technically the newest but it isn't exactly a simulator per se.

[FiftyCal]

I own both FS9 and FSX, FSX is really good it's probably the only true flight sim you'll see in awhile

Zuth

In terms of your ILS issue. You need to have the ILS tuned before you even start turning to line up with the runway. If you've got the autopilot in, depending on whether you're flying a Boeing or Airbus there will be a button you need to press, the APPR button. Also put in AP1 and AP2 once the approach button has been pressed. This will allow an autoland correctly. Once you've done that, if you fly the aircraft on a heading thats about 45 degrees off from being lined up with the runway the aircraft will automatically line its self up and start descending. Then when you're at about 200 feet you can disconnect the autopilot and land it :)

Thanks guys, I will try once again :)

[Kieran]

If you need any help then just ask. I'll do my best to teach you :D

[Deeb]

So I play FS004 a lot. With FSX I hear you can take passengers, request fuel etc.

I'm at Liverpool airport atm on free flight and I'm wondering how to request a taxi to a jetway to get passengers, when I press Request parking and fuel options... nothing is there. The only thing to request is to take off.

[Zuth]

I've finally managed to do my first ever successful landing thanks to YouTube! Wooo - Sorry for 10 images, I just wanted to document my first ever landing :)

Nice!! Seems like a great landing ^.^

[Zuth]

Nice!! Seems like a great landing ^.^

Thanks :) I was really pleased with it saying its my first, the only thing I dont like is it takes so long to set everything up, but the sound of reverse thrusters compensates for it :)

[Lee]

Zuth the more images the better! Great shot +rep ;)

[Zuth]

Zuth the more images the better! Great shot +rep ;)

Thanks, I'm quite happy with the parking too :D

[Lee]

Zuth aha! Very accurate indeed ;)

[Deeb]

I have tried 4 times to fly Manchester - Belfast, but as soon as I get close to Belfast a fatal error occurs and my game closes.. :( It happens all the time

[Lee]

Deeb try another airport and a different plane?

[Deeb]

I have I tried somewhere totally away from UK can't even fly smaller planes, I think it's just when the game has been running too long.

[Lee]

Deeb I'd absolutely recommend you reinstall it. If that doesn't work I'm not sure sorry :(

[Deeb]

Will do. Is there a way to save in the air so if it does crash I don't need to start again.

[Lee]

Yeah just fly your flight and at the point you want to "Checkpoint" it go to the first menu on the top (Think its flight?) and select save flight and then to load it you load up FSX menu where you normally select planes etc theres a button called "Load" press that and then select the saved flight and Fly Now!

I was saying to Zuth that it's useful to save this when you are on approach then you can load it up and practise your landings :)
Deeb :)`

[xxMATTGxx]

Is this FSX? There is a few problems with and there is a number of fixes on various flight sim forums. You should probably search it on Google or on a forum such as FlightSimWorld and Avsim Forums as they will probably have solutions.

[Deeb]

I'll have a look - it is a cracked version for now however. That could be the cause, thanks!
,Alpha, I'll do exactly that and practice my landings, thanks!

[Deeb]

I'm not too good at videoing, but my first ever ILS approach & landing without assistance. Before you watch I forgot to mute my mic and was sitting next to the TV so it's a good idea to mute the video.

Also, the reason it didn't really go to plan was one major thing I forgot... I forgot to retract flaps, activate speedbrake and autobrakes too. Also, idk what some youtube video was going on about reverse thrusters, idk if you need those or not! Anyway, I also didn't realise I didn't retract my landing gear until about 700 metres from the ground.

Any tips? I did the landing at 135 knots, is that too fast?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOEj76YlimQ&feature=youtu.be
,Alpha, xxMATTGxx

[Lee]

135kt is a fine speed, Reverse Thrust is important. When you touch down hold F2, it makes the engines spin backwards effectively in reverse mode like a car.

,Alpha, xxMATTGxx

Good start... at least you're on the centre line :D Reverse thrust is nearly always used on landing unless you want to stop towards the end of the runway. Arming speedbrakes is a big must... otherwise you'll end up taking off again :D 135 knots sounds like its in the right ball park. You seemed to flare the aircraft a bit too much as well... looked like you ended up with a tailstrike. Onfinal approach you should be around the 4/5 degree pitch mark. Increasing to maybe 6/7 for the flare.

[Deeb]

Intricat For some reason the autopilot always has a 6-7 nose pitch even when flying straight with autothrottle and hold alt on. But yeah I think I burst my tires and that was a bad land but you can only learn from mistakes. I'm gonna fly to Belfast and try again.
,Alpha, Thanks I'll do that. Is it F1 to get them to go forwards again?

The pitch attitude will change though when you have full flap and landing gear out. Yeah F1 will put them at idle. You don't need full reverse, just enough for it to engage. Basically... you'll see the doors open on the engine pods, you know its on then :)

[AlexHenry]

Love Flight Simulator and looking at these photos I might start playing again. I personally prefer FS2004 rather than X, (same as The Sims 2 rather than 3) for some really weird reason. Would it be okay if I shared some photos in the future?

Sorry for sounding like a ******, I thought it was only for FSX. Can anyone help me? I am extremely bad at landing and I can never find the airport. I have done ILS before and I get to the airport but how do I actually land? Does anyone have some links I can look at? Like guides or something? Cheers! :)

Yeah at GoAir we have a one airline policy. I'm not old enough for BAVirtual which sucks.

[Kieran]

I was a member of BAVirtual some time ago. Might reinstall flight sim today. Give me something to do :)

Does anyone know what the best airbus model is?

Probably Wilco at the moment - FlightSimLabs are producing one which will probably be the best one when it's released.

I agree with wilco, but FSLabs does look promosing. I presume you'll be avoiding both...

If it's not boeing it's not going yeah?

When I play a flight sim, I mostly end up crashing or missing the runway and landing on a patch of grass. XD Quite comical really. Love it though.

Try right clicking the shortcut and:

- Running as administrator
- Compatibility tab -> Run in compatibility for WinXP SP3

Long shot but sometimes works.

[Lee]

Ben, uninstall those addons we did and try it if that doesnt work reinstall FSX and we'll add them back. That does risk PMDG breaking of course unless u can reinstall it.

[Zuth]

Might do

Thanks Will but no luck, it only happens when I click, Missions, Multilayer and Free flight so it must be an addon :(

I've removed PMDG but still no luck

I don't have fsx installed right this second but if you go to the install folder (Something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X)there should be an executable called fsx.exe (Might be fs9.exe instead), right click that instead and do the same.

Reinstall looks like your best bet then I'm afraid. Although it's always worth updating your drivers..

How do you update drivers LOL

I'm looking at getting a joystick. Wondering if anyone had any experience of using the SPEEDLINK Black Widow Flightstick?

I've not, how much are looking to be spending on one?

[Cerys]

I tried a flight simulator, using the keyboard, but I plummeted to the Earth straight away.... :P

[Suspective]

About £20-£30 at the most initially.

I'll do some looking :)

I personally jumped straight in with a Saitek x52, had it for 6 months and absolutely love it.

I'm pretty sure xxMATTGxx; and Lee; both have it too, I'm sure they could also vouch for it?

[Luke]

Had X52 for 2-3 years now, it's simply perfect :')

[Deeb]

Has anybody got the FS Passenger X Mod for FSX? It's awesome!

[Grig]

Last time I downloaded FSX on an old laptop, it was a nightmare for hard drive. Love it's graphics, shame I don't have it anymore.

[Milarz]

It's good. Only problem is, the software is so powerful, it turns off on me every 10-15 minutes.

get a new pc.

[Milarz]

I have a Compaq. Top of the range pretty much. Even comes from the creators of the Simulator games, no matter how good your PC/Laptop is, considering how powerful the simulators are, there is a 85% chance of it not working right, unless in a $2million simulator machine.
