As was stated above, FS2K is a demanding program (some say too demanding and I'd agree). You should take a look at www.flightsim.com - there should be info there on tuning.
Make sure you have the latest patch from Microsoft.
If all else fails, give Fly!2K by Terminal Reality a try, although the new version of Fly! is due out soon.

PS - FS2002 has been announced... Either they'll fix the performance problems or we'll all need Pentium IVs! http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif

Hi, like many others I had teething probs with fs2k (Pent III, 450MHz, 224Mb RAM, rage fury graphics card). After dowmnloading and installing ALL updates avbl (Direct X 8.0, FS2K patch 2, graphics card, sound card etc etc), things have settled down just fine. I'd like to echo the help avbl at www.flightsim.com - not only is there every goodie you'd like (FREE), but also pages of FAQ's and also a forum. Stick with it - I believe the rewards are worth it.

cool, thanks for that people.
got the patch, new drivers, and turned down graphic settings on the game, runs better now.

Just need to work out why concorde stalls at 45,000 ft.

Count me in for the flying!

I forget the exact numbers but once you're over the coastline and in Oceanic airspace you should be doing about M0.95. You then have to re-ignite the afterburners until you reach about M1.5. Also, once you get to about 40000ft you should go into a cruise/climb where you climb at about 500ft/min. Any faster and you will lose airspeed. I don't have the book handy so as I said, these numbers may not be 100% accurate but I'm pretty sure one of these two solutions should help.

Should be there, not done a connection that way though.

The ground won't hurt you, if you hit it hard enough!

OK here are the details:

The steps:

1.) Load FS2000
2.) Choose an airplane of your choice
3.) Go to airport: Stanstead
4.) Once on runway taxi to any apron (as long as your not on the runway its OK)
5.) Do not choose any real world weather
6.) Go to Flights > Multiplayer > Connect
7.) Give yourself a callsign - preferably your Pprune name
8.) From the protocol list choose TCP/IP
9.) In the IP address box type the IP address and click SEARCH
10.) wait about 30 secs and in the sessions box choose 'Pprune flight' then click JOIN

and that should do it.

We can all chat using the FS2000 chat window. If this dissappears you can bring it back by
going to Flights > Multiplayer > Chat Window.

Lets see how it works out then.

Any chance of utilising Roger Wilco?We can then hear what is really said on the flightdecks about the skills of our fellow aviators!

If you want to you can. However I feel it slows then everything. I.e FS2000 starts giving rubbish frame rates.

Roger. Wilco.

What happened? Where did everybody go, all of a sudden I was in my own? Was it something I said?

Sorry Spanner...same problem here, everybody dissappeared but me and carbheat managed to get started again.

Still available till 2100 tonight. Same steps!

"Building" Aircraft in Flight Simulator
 

Antone know what programs you would need to make your own aircraft for FLight Simulator 2000??

Try Abacus FS Design Studio from www.abacuspub.com. It will cost you, though!
Edited for correct URL!

Get X-plane instead, as it comes with a plane and world editor already with it.
The planes also 'feel' a lot better than the ones in FS2000, and besides that it's a heck of a lot cheaper. ;)

What is the best flight sim add on?
 

From this I know that the 757 add on for fly is the best add on for fly.

But what's the best add on for Flight sim 2000?

KBaB

Since you already know about the 757, and seem desperately keen by starting the topic twice ;) you may as well get hold of Pilot in Command B767

I would have thought that Squawkbox was one of the best!!!

I thought the ultimate accessory would be the "full motion" option :)

Does anyone know any site where you can download SIDs and STARs for the wilco 767?
