You can find full versions of known airlines on the net. Most are repaints of default craft each plane will have to be installed in its default folder. There are some with installers attached. Some payware is available
It depends on what version you are looking for, I've got Microsoft Flight Simulator X Standard for about £21.50 off Amazon.
The 1722 message is simply a general installer error. More often than not, this can be addressed by downloading the Software Licensing System Reset Tool available from Microsoftâ??s website for free. The executable will need to be run in command prompt.
First, insert disc 1, then, click autorun or setup and installation will begin. Go through all the dialogs, when you click install it will give you a loading bar and it will start to install. Part of the way through installation it will stop, a message box will pop up and say to insert disc 2. Insert disc 2 and click ok and installation will continue. This will happen again with disc 3. Disc 4 is used to play so insert it when you want to play it.
Yes it will run, but there are lilkely to be issues; several forums on the web report that you can install it fine, all works ok except that no matter what you do, when you go to create a flight from the game menu, choose your geographical starting point and whichever aircraft, it will give you either a default flight you haven't opted to fly on this occaision, or one of your previously saved flights. You can then change aircraft /location mid flight. .... I am also having some minor issues with textures, sounds and particualry with regard to reheat on jet aircraft...
Microsoft "Flight" is in production right now and has announced internal testing last year. My guess is that Microsoft Flight will be released in late 2011 or 2012. If there are delays expect around 2013.
A rail simulator is a game in which one pretends they are driving a train. For example, EA Games' Rail Simulator. Free rail simulator games could be found at SimulatorCentral, where one can create their own rail track. Or one could visit RailServe.
You can play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 multiplayer free in the link provided below this question.
When you are in multiplayer, make sure you are tuned into the right frequency, then press and hold Caps Lock to talk. When you see your Caps Lock light on, that means you are transmitting on your selected frequency.
If you have a legal copy then the registration code is inside. Else you cannot get one
well you will have to download a views package for the plane in question but you will still have to fly the plane (unless you use auto pilot but you would still have to take off and land) PS:view packages are very difficult to install you could find them on flightsimulator.avwing.com/ or avsim.com

Flight simulator is technically not a game but a simulation - although it can be used as a game, its primary use is to simulate actual flight, to make it as real as possible - you can use it very simply by just loading an aircraft ready to take off, push all the controls forward, take off and just have fun but the real beauty of flight simulator is you can make it almost like the real thing - you can add scenery software that looks almost like the real thing down to every road and river, custom aircraft that teams of designers spend years to develop to fly and look ultra realistically - you can do all the preflighting, checklists, etc just like the real thing - and you can add a full array of controls and real gauges, multiple monitors etc for an incredibly true to life flying experience you could also get on the net and fly with others, in virtual worlds with live airtraffic controllers.
Microsoft actually makes two flight sims, the normal one called flight simulator which is a simulator for general/civilian aviation - the other is combat flight simulator which is a military simulator that simulates air combat as close to reality as possible - when "played" to simulate real air combat it is a simulator, when used with rules, to accrue points and such it becomes a game
"Flight Simulator" is a PC-computer game for playing at home. This game can be purchased for any computer and has great graphics for the more advanced computer. You load the software and fly the aircraft using your mouse and the keyboard. Or you can buy hardware that simulates the control yoke of a commercial airliner or small Cessna OR the pistol grip that simulates the grip on a fighter jet or helicopter. This type of hardware will require more powerful computer to use.
Flight Simulator software allows you to practice (a) the basic flying skills and aerobatics and (b) navigation skills. I believe commercial pilots can use an advanced version of Flight Simulator with select lessons to allow them to keep up with their ratings.
My favorite is practicing to soar in a glider by catching thermal up-drafts. I would think that this would be good practice if you ever thought about taking Soaring lessons someday.
For more info on flight simulators see related links.
Hope this answered your question(s)
If you are piloting an aircraft and needs to pushback before take off. Here's a tip on how to request pushback FSX. Press shift and p, this will push your aircraft back to stop the pushback. Press shift and p again to stop the pushback and the pushback tug will return to the gate. Press shift p1 to turn the tail to the right. Press Shift p2 to turn the tail to the left.
After one does some research, one will find a free online train simulator on Amazon, steamcommunity, and railsimulator. One's research will also show that there are more sites that offer free online train simulators, but these sites are rated the top three.
The cheapest I have seen it at a store was $19.99 at Best Buy. You can probably find a used version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X on eBay for $10 or less. BEWARE of websites selling the game for under $10 as it is probably not a legal version!
First thing you need to do is to install your joystick on your PC. This is relatively straightforward in Windows XP, as it tends to automatically recognise 'plug and play' devices, otherwise you may need to install a 'driver', a bit of software that tells windows how to communicate with the joystick.
In Windows 98, you will probably have to install a 'driver' (check before you buy that it is compatiblewith win98).
once you have done that, you should be able to start the game, go to the 'settings' and check a little box that says 'Enable Joystick'.
Then click 'Game Controllers', which opens a 'wizard' that will show you if the joystick hase been recognised by your PC.
If it has, click 'properties' then 'settings' then 'calibrate' which will take you through the calibration process step-by-step.
You cannot download Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, you have to buy it.
You would need to be pretty efficiency on 3d modelling. Most are not so MS have provided default aircraft which can be copied as a full aircraft file, using you'll need DXT freeware and a good paint package. Skills levels have to be reasonably high as youll need to take time and a number hours practicing to paint, save, add dxt alpha files to give reflection effects etc. You will then need to be able to add to into the aircraft become it file. As these steps are humorous and must be correctly undertaken consider checking the many online tutorials before you attempt to add in or make changes to your flightsim
To install Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration you need to have Microsoft Flight Simulator X or Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition installed first. Insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration into your computers DVD drive. Open the disc and run "setup.exe", once installed, Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration will startup and you will have to enter your product key.
depending on what you want . Down load, add to the relevant effect folder , remember that there are many effects folders for differing areas of the simulator to process. ALWAYS backup your original files before launching addons
No, Microsoft Flight Simulator X is for PC only, so you cannot play it on a Playstation 3.
Press Shift + F and a fuel truck will come. It depends on AI traffic. If you have a lot of AI airplanes on the airport and needed fuel, you might be waiting for a little while, but if you have little or no AI traffic, then you're number 1 for re-fueling
