Hello everyone, I have a bit of an odd request.
Although I am American I have been living in Italy for 30 years so when I bought FS2004 it was in Italian (and unlike more modern softwares the installation did not give me a choice of language). I have studied the possibility of changing the GUI and ATC text to English and my experience as a computer programmer leads me to believe that FS2004 is a pretty simple and straightforward software design. I believe that if I can swap the "language.dll". "usenglishbig.gvp" (yes, they couldn't change the name of the file for compatabiliy reasons with the rest of the already compiled files), and the "usenglishasos.gvp" with the same files from an english installation (makeing back-up copies of the originals AS ALWAYS!) it should work. In many compiled files you can change ONLY the text lines without adversely affecting it's function. Also, in microsofts typical rush to get products into stores before they are complete, all the "wav" files are in English already! - I guess it was too much work for them to make new language "wav" files! What I am asking is if anyone with an English installation of FS2004 could be so kind as to find those 3 files and e-mail them to me so I can try this operation I would be very greatful.
If I manage to do this I will of course post the process and results for the benefit of others who may wish to do the same.
Thanks,
Mark
