Did you know...
It happens very rarely at night, but if you are very lucky, you can see a shooting star (meteor) streak across the virtual night sky in FS2004. It's a built in Microsoft "easter-egg", and I've personally only witnessed it once, a few years ago.

Did you know...
There is a red and white maintenance shack (if memory serves correctly), blocking part of the runway at Telluride, Colorado, USA by default.

Did you know...
There is a landable oil rig in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia. MS Default.

Did you know...
When parked and completely shut down, the banners on the pitot tube covers on the PT Tu-154M sway in the wind.

The pitch of the prop on the left engine (port?) of the DEFAULT fs9 DC-3 is modeled backwards? With the engine running, the prop would be pushing air forward, not back.

I've been flying it for years and only JUST noticed it. :-?
