FS04--CD4 must be loaded?
Sorry if I've posted this twice. I thought I posted it yesterday but I can't find it anywhere.
Just installed FS04 (awaiting arrival of new video card before I dive all the way into it)
Manual says disc #4 must be loaded in CD drive every time I start the program. Is this really true? And does the disc need to remain loaded throughout the session or just for startup?
Thanks...

Yes cd4 must be in your pc for the sim to run,however take a trip to the download section on this site and d/load the nocd crack and put away cd4 for safe keeping

👍 Yep,
TomTheTank said it best, look over the forum and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
You'll find the "no cd crack" here.

Ahh...I see.
I missed it because "Crack" is completely new terminology to me (what the heck does 'crack' mean anyway? code-cracking?). I will glean what I can but can't promise I'm out of questions!
In other news... I ran my new FS04 briefly last night on my soon-to-be-ex-nVidia 64mb card, just to get a comparison base as I await the arrival of my Radeon 9800 Pro. It was intolerable! C'mon FedEx!!
System will be: Pentium 1.6G+512ram+9800. Please tell me I'm well-equipped!
Yes just load the "crack" and you won't have to use disk #4 any longer. Besides being annoying you take the risk of scratching or breaking the disk. 
Your system with your new card is almost a duplicate of mine and I enjoy the sim very much. You should have good luck with it.
Happy flying 👍

I know just how you feel. I'm glad it came sooner than you though.
Have a good time putting it in and ask for help, I did and there are many helpful members here.
Side-note, I just flew over Alaska, thunderstorm, no nothing just snow and dirt below. I have a ceiling of 42fps on my card ( I'll readjust higher later) and it hit that and wanted to go higher-WOW-, that's what your in for, pure pleasure. 👏
