FS 2004



The joys of Sunny California...The Pacific...and Beach Babes!... ...!


Paul....Straw Hat, Shades, Bermuda Shorts, Sandals...and sucking on an Ice Cream... ...!


..its all in the mind..you know!... ...!

Wonderful scenery Paul...have a great simulated flight...

hard to believe it's fs2004....maybe it's my illusion but from what i remember, i always thought that a sunny day in fs9 was much more pleasant and brighter than one in fsx........

No...its not just an illusion, Yan... ....

.....every day, is a bright, sunny day, when when we enjoy the many delights of flying with FS 2004.... ...!

It is a fact that my FS 2004 scenery always seems to be; "brighter", than it is in my copy of FSX, which often seems a little bit dark and depressing!

...(mind you, the fact that I have suitably adjusted the; "colour, etc", settings for my LCD Monitor*, also helps, somewhat!)... ...!

Many thanks, Chums!

Paul...I like bright, sunny days!... ...!

*...and a few little tweaks in the RGB, etc, settings, in "Ground Environment Pro" also spices things up as well!

thanks for confirming ........i thought it was just me.......nice if there was an adjustment for this in fsx....

..I've got a box of matches, Yan...

That should cure the overall problem.... ...!

Paul....FS 2004 brightens my every day!... ..!

Major Yankovitch,

I have been reading a thread over on AVSIM about an addon called SweetFX. It seems to be able to highlight contrasts and brighten things up a bit - the before and after screenshots are pretty impressive. However, there are a couple of people that either have not seen/realized the difference, or don't like the 10-20 percent hit to frame rates (Kostas). Do a Google search for SweetFX and check it out. It was created for online PC games, but works with any 32-bit game application. If you are a member of AVSIM, the thread is at http://forum.avsim.net/topic/389455-hav ... s-sweetfx/.

Great scenery Paul

(I'm trying to hunt down the poor AA in fs9. When i start the sim, it just looks perfect, but when changing ac aso, it gets poor again!?)

thanks howellerman....will check

[quote="yancovitch"]thanks howellerman....will check....hmmm i don't think i can handle any frame hits.....

Good Shot!!!



You could also light up FSX using a custom light-map and ENB... That is how I get my shadows to stand out in the few pictures I present to this site.

could use some enlightening on this matter

Fozzer, if I ever get my controls setup and working correctly... we will have to meet for some online flying.

No doubt about that BE... ...!

..we did it a lot in the distant past, in FS 2002/FS 2004, I well remember!>>>>>


A Cal Tour for both of us would be very welcome indeed.
I've spent that past 15+ years, (since Flight Unlimited II/Pro Pilot 2), every day, touring Cal, north, south, east, and west...including your Frisco Bay/Sacramento River areas, so a Multiplayer (FS 2004) Chat would be wonderful, to fill in any gaps in my experience!

Paul.... ...!

Tip: For extra (wonderful) realism, I use; "Ultimate Terrain USA and Canada" for F2004... ...!
