Help me!!

Postby Sim Picklens » Thu May 20, 2021 2:42 am

Hello, is there anyone out there who still uses flight SIM 2004 a century of flight? My computer died over a year ago and I just acquired a new one and I found out that Microsoft no longer supports it. After the install it wants me to register online then sends me to the Xbox site where I can find no way to register. Customer support treats me like a fossil who wants to install an antique on a new computer. In the past I've gone through this procedure with other computers without issues, but now I am at a dead end, can anyone help me? I have Windows 10 and all I want to do is get it to work before I tear out all of my hair in frustration. Your help would be greatly appreciated

I am confuse between a jacket or a coat. It depends on the weather and the occasion. A mens vintage leather jackets is usually lighter and more casual than a coat, so it is better suited for milder weather and more casual occasions. A coat is usually heavier and more formal, so it is better suited for colder weather and more formal occasions.

If you send me a PM with your email-adress I'll send you a working copy of FS9 for WinX.

Better take this conversation private, hertzie. Simviation runs risk of being jacked up as a pirate software site. You don't just offer to send copies of copyrighted Microsoft software online. Asking for trouble no matter how helpful you're trying to be.

To INSTALL FS2004 to your new Windows 10 PC



1. Install into C:\ NOT into it's default C:\Program Files

2. Install the 9.1 update

3. Install the 9.1 nocd patch

4. Right-click the FS9.exe, select Properties

5. Select Compatibility mode, & select XP

6. At bottom, then select 'Run as Administrator'

7. Double click the desktop icon





To COPY & PASTE from your OLD PC to your NEW Windows 10 PC


OR
From your OLD PC:

1. Copy the whole FS2004 folder to a portable drive

2. Open the Documents Folder & copy the 'Flight Simulator Files' folder to a portable drive

3. Find the FS2004.cfg file & copy it to your portable drive

This is normally found in C:\Users\xxx(your user)\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9

An easy way to find this FS2004.cfg is to download EVERYTHING from http://www.voidtools.com

(This is a very fast desktop search engine that will find the file as you type)



Once all that is done:

1. Plug the portable drive into your NEW PC

2. Open the C:\ folder & copy & paste the copied FS2004 folder therein

3. Right-click the FS2004.exe & 'Send to Desktop (create shortcut) You now will have a Desktop FS2004 icon

4. Copy & paste the 'Flight Simulator Files' folder into your 'Documents' folder

5. Right-click the FS9.exe, select Properties

6. Select Compatibility mode, & select XP

7. At bottom, then select 'Run as Administrator'

8. Double click the desktop icon

THEN

9. Copy & Paste the FS2004.cfg file into C:\Users\xxx(your user)\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9

10. Double click the desktop icon



NOTE: I'm interchanging FS9 with FS2004. Be consistent with your install!
