i was wondering that in Flight Simulator 2004, that if you have an engine failure or something more serious is there any way of contacting ATC and tell them on the problem and requesting a full emergency.

This is something many of us have been hoping for as long as I can remember.

And the thing that kills me is it would be a reasonably short string of code to do it. All they'd have to do is add the ATC response with a squawk 7700 or 7500...ATC would ask you to verify, you would, and you'd be cleared to land at nearest. Problem solved.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if one of you gifted add on designers could do it yourself!

Sounds easy enough... I would do it, but I don't know anything about code, etc. Grin

God I wish that someone do this soon enough,im shame not to have enough knowledge to design it

I just searched for "Alert II", "Alert II Flight Simulator" "ALERT II Microsoft Flight Simulator" and "Alert II FS2004" and all I came up with was links to the Red Alert II game. Nothing to do with MSFS.

Could you or someone post a link?

I assumed that since alert was in all capital letters (universal computer code for raising your voice

)I replaced "II" with "!!" and here you go:

Ahhh, so that was the trick. Grin

Got the link saved in my "To buy for ACOF" folder. Thanks.

That is something I have noticed lately with Google, before you could type in a search word, and even spell it wrong and just about everytime find what you wanted on the first page, now it seems that Google is getting more specific, you need to be more exact as far as spelling, wording, and case sensitivity to get what your looking for. and God forbid you accidentaly slip a punctuation mark in by accident LOL!!

I'm inclined to believe that this isn't the doing of the folks at Google (they've got enough on their plate at the moment) but rather the work of some rather crafty web-designers who have figured out how to manipulate the Goog's search engine.

Actually they don't have to worry about the search engine. All you need to do is make sure your HTML has the right keywords. You put misspellings into the keyword tags and your site comes up when those words are searched for.
