If you’re looking for freeware add ons you could do a lot worse than search the libraries at AVSIM.com and FLIGHTSIM.com

It’s Your Plane

Before you spend any money on a ‘virtual co pilot’ why not try ‘It’s Your Plane’ ?there’s a free 15 day trial available here

Whilst I’ve not tried it myself (airliners are out of my area of interest) I know the team behind it and would recommend trying it.

Cheers,

I wrote to Lago and have received no reply so I can’t even get a registration key. Maybe they’ve gone out of business.

I don’t thinks so but that does seem to be standard for LAGOs standard of customer service these days. I used to buy a lot of their products when they published the Georender series. Things really seem to have gone downhill of late.

John,

I think you’ll find FS Enchancer is a simple scenery design add on, the idea being that you can enhance the FS scenery by placing new objects in the FS environment without having to learn complex scenery design software.

The ‘SLEW’ command is simple, just press Y and use the flight controls (your joystick) to move your aircraft to the desired place. The ‘Q’ and ‘A’ keys adjust your altitude.

It could well be a virtual memory issue.

Other things that come to mind include overheating (if the computer had been running that long it’s worth checking ?) Also are you sure you dont have other programs running in the background ? Anti Virus software kicking in for a scheduled update or scan can cause sudden performance issues too.

Hope this helps,

Bill Lyon’s Tiger Moth was originally a payware model for FS2002 but was released as freeware for FS2004. The filename on avsim.com is cctiger4.zip

Although it’s listed as an FS2004 model I’m pretty sure it will work ok on FS2002 so give it a try.

Incidentally all of Bills work is superb, there are many of his excellent aircraft available to download.

There are several ways to build a multi monitor set up but I’m assuming you want to display standard FS2004 or FSX screens on all three screens rather than 3rd party nav software or instruments.

Wideview (http://www.wideview.it) is software for linking multiple FS PCs over a network to enable a system with multi monitors. Because you are using more than one PC you can have more monitors and better performance than the limitations of one PC, though unless you happen to have two PCs capable of running flight sim it’s an expensive solution !

To connect three monitors to one PC the best solution is Matrox’s Triple Head 2 Go (http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/th2go/) which is a hardware solution allowing three monitors on one PC.

Hope this helps !

Cheers,

Bruce
