allardjd 1,853 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Not much to go on there. Traffic can be a big issue - turn the slider way down on that and see if it makes a difference. Bummer that your shift key is broken... John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Mick, From what you say, a reinstall would be the way to go especially if you have had a lot of freeware. FS2004 should literally fly on your machine. Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 freeware is not always the best solution. also you should not install anything of it, problems are often occurs. Link to post Share on other sites

aeromax 10 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Apart from the free software products, although not bad, but can not keep up with the purchased software. In addition, you get absolutely free support on purchased products eg aerosoft. I can only recommend. Link to post Share on other sites

I can only recommend. i'm sorry to say AeroMax that freeware isn't as bad as the minority of files make it seem...afterall, what about our very own Tim_A's Plan-G flight planning software, or the TinMouse 737-200, simply the best 732 available! And then there's anything by the now defunct Project OpenSky, David Matlby's VC-10, Comet and Trident...not to mention the MelJet 777, Milton Shupe's offerings and the HS.748...and i haven't even gotten onto the freeware Scenery yet!! just goes to show, freeware may have a bad rep, but often Payware isn't that far ahead if at all...

Probably because there were several that were not matched by the programmer. Thus it came to total crash from Simulator during Flight close to an Airport. Means not, that all freeware is bad!. Also, the speed was lowered. Is just the experience i had with few scenery freeware. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Also Sabre F86 (freeware) and excellent...! 90% were concerned the scenery; at least for me. cheers. Link to post Share on other sites

aeromax 10 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 ok, so just try to find out afterwards which freeware may slow down the system or a failure occurs. not every freeware caused errors. sometimes the freeware isn´t well programmed. so try out step by step if you want. on payware just have a look (manual) about the hardware settings within flightsimulator. take care, cheers Link to post Share on other sites
