So when I play online on FS2004 am I playing with FSX people too?
In a way service, Yes. Although a mac isnt compatible, I run on a 8gig so it works for me fine.. Im happy.
if you have, fs2002/2004 i reccommend squawkbox3 is you have fsx - fsinn.
Well I should be playing again some time soon, I've ordered and new joystick, the Logitech Force 3D Pro and i have reinstalled FS2004 on my ...ok... PC, I start work monday so i should be able to save for maybe an XPS or something in that range, that takes gaming to another level!
Good to know :]
Thats a relief, lol ;)Quote:

But i want to start using one of these online flying websites. But i am stuck on what i need to do and how to connect and all that.
So if anyone can give me some advice? Much apreciated ;)
i dont have clue how to play i give up :P .. do u lot use keyboard?
lots of us use joystick, don't give up, try and do all the flying lessons in fs thats all ready there with 'Rod' lol
LOOL, Big Rod mate :)
EDIT:// Yoshimitsui, You need to know IFR & VFR Departures, ATC Phraseology etc. You also need to know what A/P A/T AND F/D is. Its pretty complicated, but not once you get to know all about it. :)
You also need to know about STARs and PiREPS
bascially, i'll put in a simpler way than sams, you need to know autopilot autothrottle and flight director lol, oh and Instruement flight rules when your using your instruments to navigate and visual flight rules which your navigating visually.
this int r/l butits off vatsim indicators, EASYJET GOT OWNED!!

lmao! shown matt and sam already!
yeah, rofl at that.
I can fly, but lets just say the plane doesant do what i tell it to lol.
But yeah, the boeings always overspeed and find them hard to land.
It shouldn't overspeed if you have set the AP up correctly and enabled the auto throttle.
Myke, Set your, 'IAS/MACH' to 250 then enable 'Speed' and 'a/t' you shouldnt over speed, However, autopilot must be on.
I can't manually do pitch etc.. As it just wont work. But how do i set the heading with AP? As i cann engage it, but i don't know how to set my headings.
I'm the same, i get confused with overspeed and pitch peh!Quote:

then whats the point of pitch. :\
Becuase as a real PILOT you would obviously use it and it wouldant be a pile of junk your flying. But as it's a computer game it's not perfect, and the Ap does it for you.
i c, i think i should do the lessons :l
Agreed ;]Quote:

i think more of them images are needed to be made =] they help.
I also think some video tutorials and more annotated pictures would be good, that will help you get a simulation sub-forum.

Me on finals into Prague in late afternoon.
Matts fmc wouldn't work like he wanted it to so matt had to d/c.
Yes I sure did have problems with FMC. Going to read up on it and hope I get it all working like I want it to :D
Now this flight, was my first in a boeing 767-300, and I have to say, I did well, i loved the aircraft so much from startup to shutdown. I only got one, but this is my landing, did a nice landing, good flare, maybe could of been more centerline but i was still good.

How come everyone is like..taking it so seriously? lmao
I had flight sim deluxe one and I just flew about in the plane.. crashed etc. It was good fun :D
I can take off and fly etc, its just landing which poops me off :@
I come in to land and I'm straight leveled with the runway, get to the edge of the runway and land, but when I press to brake it doesn't stop till I'm at the airport 10 yonks away from the one I wanted to land at. :(
Maybe my aircraft is too fast lmao, I use NASA X70.
If your in a cessna you should be landng at about 60-80 knots, if your in a 737 i'd say about 120-150 knots.
I just flew Frankfurt-Heathrow to position myself for a flight in the week to North America or Asia :]
