Throttle and stick.
Anyone have any comments on this? It 'looks' good to me, but I've
been down that road before. BTW, Wal-Mart is the cheapest place to
find it. About $200. Anyone know better?

Hey All,
I have an older system as I don't get much money to spend on toys
anymore :(
I don't think I will be able to upgrade everything for PCI E for some

I've just tried to install Mig Alley on my new system running Windows
XP but just a minute into installation I get the message "could not
open file. Please check that your disc is not full" (It's not, I've got
nearly 3 gig of hard drive space spare) "and that you have access to

I know this is really old news, but it is time I figured out how to run
Red Baron 3D on my Win XP box.  Can someone tell me where the wrapper
(I think it is called...) can be downloaded?
many thanks,

Any new ww2 sims on the Horizon?

I'm building a computer and will be placing the order on 3/2. I
want to buy everything at once.
What flightstick? In the stores the sticks are mangled to death and

A friend of mine is an artist, and he was asking me if any flight-sim fans
would be interested in buying sketches of WWII etc that he draws- his

New update/patch released

Can you fly bombers (dive, torpedo) in career or campaign mode?

Have been playing FB+AEP+PF merged for about a year now, and don't play
online, only solo.
So I have noticed all the patches that are out with new flyable aircraft,
etc. However are these for online only?

I have a problem with my Ch throttle and Falcon 4 Allied force.
i have both Ch flightstick and ch throttle, the first works good, the
throttle not. I calibrated it in the options section, and when I move
the throttle it works properly, but in game, when I move it forward rmp

I gotta question about graphics performance and who'd know more about

In F4:AF when going from 1024X768 16bit with normal 16 bit only textures
to 1024X768 32bit with only 32 bit textures I take a 10% frame rate hit.

I think old M$ have dropped the ball!  (Again)
Would anyone who lives here confirm I am not going nuts.
"We" are in DLS time.
So out usual GMT +10 is now GMT +11.

MS-FS2004:
I can't find the main switch for this aircraft (and I find it boring
to just press Ctrl+E).
When I switch:
