  1. How real can we get? Using gaming joysticks, sometimes yoke & pedals, on a 14-20' screen? We built a Avro Shackleton simulator on a trailer, using actual seats, yoke, pedals & throttle quad, with a screen in the cockpit & a projector for the scenery. All using FS2004 with a payware Avro Shackleton add-on, with freeware South African scenery. The PC was Windows 7 with onboard graphics. Re realized that it was the Immersion factor that was more important than realism, when we saw real pilots 'bump' in the seats when anticipating touchdown. So, the Real Deal? It's all about the immersion factor, and that works for any aircraft, even boats & cars, in FS2004.
  2. I use Plan-G & LittleNavMap. Both are free & LittleNavMap is very detailed. Plan-G - Plan-G v4 Alex Projects - Little Navmap (albar965.github.io) No need for FSTranp at all.
  3. As a great FS2004 developer once said.. Simming is all about Fun, Facts & Fiction..! That retro look is actually quite nice. It's no secret that I love, & have quite a few themed installs of FS2004. Now imagine flying in that retro scenery!! I'll be happy even with a retro city or airport.. Flying Blimps & other steampunk planes.
  4. Any word if the OP got the sim working?
  5. Did you have a look at the properties of the FS9.cfg.. Tried to run in XP Compatibility Mode & as Administrator? That should make things work. By the way, in my experience, no need to have a separate partition for FS2004 at all. I have a couple of installs, Golden Wings & Silver Wings both running off a 2TB portable drive, and a 'Normal' version running off my C:\FS2004 drive. No issues running off the portable drive at all.
  6. Sorted! Give a shout if you get stuck.
  7. I have indeed! As well as the Midway scenery. PM me your email, & I'll send it!
  8. How about flying in the Misty Moorings & Tongass world? Some great stuff there to keep you busy for many days.
  9. Yes, Orbyx has both the Aeroplane Heaven C-47 & the DC-3, both formally payware, now free. Some great stuff here, including the A2A B-17 Freeware - Orbx (orbxdirect.com)
  10. It does become 2nd nature, after a while.. One of those mysteries again.
  11. I'm using Edge in Windows 11 & it always happens to me as well. I just 'Keep' it & carry on. It's really a 'non issue'!
