    you can't say FSX is better.. for one thing.. if you have a NOT-HIGHTECH computer, your FSX will run badly which will make bad graphics, yes its got better features, but if you haven't got a top end computer 2004 is a much better game than FSX and you don't even need to download add-ons

    But Flight Simulator is better with addons. I recently bought FSX Deluxe due to it being half priced in a shop I went into, I have to say the amount of add-on's are restricted but the game playing is better. I am considering moving back to FS2004 for the time being for more realistic as running round in Orbit Airlines doesn't really interest me. There isn't much payware stuff going either so it kinda pushes the boat out a little, however at the moment I'm glued onto the missions which are very good

    Default Flight Simulator & VATSIM

    Right ok. I was going to personally ask Adam about this as he's my FS Guru on MSN but considering he's away I thought I'd ask people on here that way I can see peoples views.

    Firstly, I've been Flight Simming for around 3 years and stopped for quite a while and got back into it. All of my knowledge is off personally learning and not reading or doing any tutorials etc but their is a few things I'm struggling to understand what they mean and how they work?

    Rudder
    Alitimeter 2992?
    Vectors
    Squak (or however you spell it)

    (There are a few more but I can't remember!)

    It might seem my knowledge is vague, but I think I've come quite a way considering what I believe I can do on it.

    Secondly is VATSIM. Is Vatsim like the multiplayer on FS2004 / FSX - I'm worried about getting on and everyone having a go, one because I am not experienced in a taxi ways off my own back and people having a good old laugh because I don't know how to speak that good to ATC as I've only recently been doing it on FSX.

    So is it worth the join and can you learn a lot more from VATSIM just by being a member, does your knowledge have to be very good of flight simulators? Don't get me wrong I'm not a n00b and I know my way around most of the cockpits etc.

    - Rudder controls your horizontal axis of flight (Correct me if i'm wrong)
    - Altimiter 2992 means set your altimeter to 2992, The altimeter is on your instruments, just hover your mouse over the instrument and find where it says altimeter, then just click the buttons to set it, or just simply, press b.
    - Vectors are what air traffic control give you which are headings, so when yoiur expeciting vectors, your expeciting heading changes to the runway.
    - Sqwauk code is what atc give you or you set so that atc can identify you, you set your sqwauk code in the transponder at the bottom of your radio stack.

    VATSIM is a online game which is an add-on to flight simulator. If you think everyone will laugh at you then just use text. Also, put in your remarks newbie if you wish so atc know that you are new, don't owrry atc aren't harsh (excpet dan ofcourse he is big bully ) I still use text. Don't be afraid of having a go, I was worried at first, but you do your first flight on vatsim, and your just luvin' it.

    Yes it is worth joining vatsim, but most of us on vatsim also reccommend flying offline first just to get extra knowledge on fs (sorry if you do already then go for it) your not going to die are you

    Hope this helps.

    Hey, please read your pm's. I'll be happy to help.

    EDIT://Woops, Cody didnt post when I looked at it, basically what he sayed, but remeber.

    Btw, You can fly online with VATSIM with 2002 also, But you use swuawkbox for 02 and 04and fsinn for X, although I think inn is compatible with all FS's.

    Yes, but a lot of people don't have high tech computers, thats why fs2004 can produce extremely amazing graphics, if you have the right computer.

    Thats guys. I liked the broad range of aircrafts etc that are on vatsim was just worried their would be 10x more to do in the aircraft and trying to please others and show I can fly, lol.

    I'll give it a go. Is it compatible with X Deluxe?

    i got it working i think.

    do you type .com1 xxx.xx and then it'll tune in the frequency that you typed in?

    so if i tuned into say, stanstead tower, if there was atc online there i could speak to them?
