😞 I have recently upgraded to 2004 and am thinking of going back to 2002. How do you increase the sumulation speed on 2004. I have not found the way to do this. On 2002 it was on the clock!!! I think the graphics are lousy, I have a clear line going across the screen with clear graphics below and fuzzy above it??? I feel like sending it back to MS and an attachment saying this is JUNK. I really was looking forward to the Piper and DC-3.

Riiiight, you have a manual, look at it. And why do you need to use it anyways, whats the point? Don't even compare 2002 to 2004, perhaps your computer is the weak link.

Solotwo seems to have the right idea - the weak link. But of course we wouldn't know that . How could we?

To increase the simulation speed in fs9 hit Alt - it will bring up a menu bar on the top of your screen. Click Options / Simulation Rate.

If you do go back to FS2002, there are better DC-3s available for free compared to the default ones in fs9.

You can also hold down R and press the + key to step thru the available rates. The video recorder and GPS are also much better also. I think that if you spend some time with the program, you will see that MSFS 2004 is much better than 2002. Your video problems can be corrected, MSFS 2004 is more demanding of your computer than 2002. Here is a key chart to help you find shortcuts to features. 🙂
