Paul: Please excuse my last posts. Rather frustrated because I've landed the Mooney the last few flights with the gear up. As I say, FS is an intellectual challenge!

Denis

PS I am new to both flight sim and this room so forgive me if I act like an idiot.

ROM: Thanks very much for the guidance. I did download the aircraft you recommended and I do know where it is. I have it earmarked (a dirty word these days) and I am reading various tutorials on how to download. My problem is I am a novitiate with FS, downloads and computers generally although I have used a puter as a substitute typewriter for years (I bought one when the "E" on my 1934 Underwood kept falling off). I do have XP and I understand that it has a download "wizard" which I am cautiously approaching. I've never used it so m

Denisy wife tells me to be careful or I might erase everything on the puter. I have a question: How do I integrate these add-ons with the MS4000 program? Is it done automatically by the wizard?
Sorry if these Q's are elementary. I'm gonna give it a shot this evening and I'll let you know how I make out. Once again, thanks for the advice. You guys in here are great !

Denis

When I said it will auto-install, it basically comes with an "install wizard" so like I said just dbl click on it and keep pressing OK/continue until you reach finish.......thats it

I'm not sure about MS4000.......I'm not sure what MS4000 is Huh

but I'm quite confident in saying that you need not concern yourself with it (whatever it is) as it relates to fs2004 and for that matter this particular add-on.
As for your wifes concerns.....I remember when I first started on the computer and I was always terrified that I'd do some catastrophic error and the whole thing would explode right in front of my eyes Shocked

.......... In reality, if your doing something really wrong, the computer will ask you if you really want to do it?.........and the more times it asks you, the more seriously you should think about the question Wink

..........and if your using XP then you shouldnt get asked to many questions with this add-on

I look forward to hearing your impressions on both the new plane, and the experience of your first download /install

ROM: Sorry for the typo. I meant FS not MS. I followed your instructions and successfully downloaded the aircraft to the "My documents" section. It now appears as a zipped folder, 15,358 KB. I don't kow where to put it because I can't seem to find a folder dedicated to the FS program itself. Now I am at a loss as to how to get it onscreen. When I log on to FS4000 I get the following message over the "century of flight" logo: "Requested flight is corrupted or can't be found." I then get the regular default flights. I know I am one step away from this but I don't know what the hell step to take! lol Any suggestions will be appreciated and excuse this woeful ignorance. Denis

ROM: Finally, success in the ongoing saga of downloading the Aeronica! The problem was, as usual, due to my lack of knowledge re how files are kept. I worked it out finally and now have already flown the plane around Seattle. Low and slow and a far sight easier to land than the Cub. You might be amused by my initial try to fly the plane. I sat on the runway giving it all throttle and hitting brake release and it wouldn't move. Totally dumbfounded, I couldn't understand why until I noticed that the flight was set for the float version. lI switched to the wheeled version and now all is well. lol Once again, thank you and all in here for your patience and assistance. I am now gonna look for some more prop planes to download.Was in Germany a few years back and a friend of mine took me for a quick hop in his Stork and I'm gonna see if I can find one. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm glad to hear you got it going.
Hear is a link to the main download section hear at Simv http://www.simviation.com/simviation/ so set aside AT LEAST a couple of hours Wink

........on a couple of days Grin

and enjoy browsing. at the top of that page there is a search function, you can click on it and type in whatever your looking for and it will bring up all the options, otherwise just open one of the sections and go page by page.
One really good plane you might want to check out is the maule 260 http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props54.htm it's a big 60mb download but is really an amasing plane.
I did a search for your Stork........no joy

Tim "Piglet" Conrad has also made a classic German manufactured version for 2004 and FSX available on a few other sites.

One thought distantly related to FS2004. A week or so ago the media carried a story about a passenger who successfully landed an airplane (I didn't get what model) after the pilot died in the cockpit. I wonder if that passenger had any experience in a flight sim? It's an intriquing question. Anyone in here know? Denis H

ROM & SEAN: Thanks for the tips. I'm retired and have plenty of time. As I mentioned to a friend the other day, getting involved in Flight Sim is far more interesting than hunting for nickels in the sand with a metal detector.

Is there any other sorts of aircraft your interested in checking out, or is it mostly old taildraggers that you are looking for?
Something else I just thought of that you would probably like is the Alphasim c170 that just got released as freeware

Yes, please tell us what type of other aircraft you are interested in. I am aware of plenty, and can guide you to their location, and if need be, help you with the installation.

You fellas are gentlemen! As mentioned earlier, I have just started in FS and have just had a few weeks with it so am a little intimidated at this point about advancing further than the Cessnas, Mooneys and, thanks to you guys, the Avvie C7. Also, I am studying the stuff in learning center and have yet to get into navigation and radio protocol. I served in the USNavy some years back but what navigation skills I had then are now pretty much worthless. So I am a novice on all fronts. Maybe the multi-engines and jets will be more attractive when I'm not so dumb about all this. One thing, I am damned glad I heard about this website. You guys are incredibly helpful courteous and humorous and we newbies appreciate it.

Q for Bret: Is that and RAF rig you've got on?
