Try this program instead of MS2004 - much better panels, more realistic flight model, cheaper than MS, much closer to the real thing:

If installed with the correct hardware, this is even approved by the FAA for logging FTD hours towards the ATPL. To my knowledge, MS2004 has never obtained that approval.
This is a top-notch sim for PC.
Good luck,
