JSMR

I already have the Pro version. As a backup if FSGRW doesn't connect. I was talking about registering it for enhanced features. I believe that needs the $$$.

I had asked previously on the forum about registering the Pro version. i was told by the developer I needed to buy 3.0 first and then I’ll get the key to the Pro version.

FsRealwx pro version is definitely not free. Nor are the any of the old versions. According to messages to me from the developer. The lite version is though.

I would've had that fixed by means of the support forum in less than a week considering the price I paid for it. It works great. It's the best available currently that works with live weather In my opinion. It does do the odd thing or two better than AS but since I cant currently compare, its a moot point I suppose.

I'd disagree, as you only have to look at how many people were/are engaged in the calclassic scenery and aircraft that show that many were/are interested in the vintage. Yes I know you're specifically talking the Golden Wings and early period, but that's only because numbers for FS2004/FSX/P3D have all dwindled as most have headed to the arcade game style MSFS google maps idea. So less interested all round. I've been slowly working on my GW bit by bit as I have some plans for it in the future. VA's specifically for this era etc. I keep saying it, FS2004 cant be beat for using it during every era imaginable. WIth quality scenery and aircraft. Hence why I'm not interested in changing any time soon or in the future.

Agree. I do like FSGRW and it works pretty well, and I few complaints using it. But I do miss using Active Sky. It just did things….better.

Which you misunderstood. As usual. Anyway, FSX and P3D couldn't match what FS2004 had/has. MSFS can't match what FSX/P3D has. So I don't see how MSFS will match was FS2004 has. We'll see.

But anyway….moving on….and to get back on track…. ….when it comes to covering may areas and periods, like the 1920’s-30’s, 40’s, 50’s-60’s, 80’s to current, with quality aircraft representing those periods, along with a lot of relevant landclass (calclassic comes to mind), nothing comes close to FS2004. and that’s all needs to be said.

I knew what you said in another thread would come in handy.

Hopefully this one comes along : https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/boeing-747-classic.448883/

Whaaat? You’re not flying anymore, Darren?

There’s only one man who can solve this unsolvable mystery. https://imgur.com/a/nzHots6

What? Mr Zippy has been deleting posts?!!! That’s crazy! i just told my mum and she was like.,.seriously? Why is My Whippy deleting posts??? I said, no…mrzippy. She said mrzippy is deleting mr whippy? i said…forget it.

Nice comparison. Some cool games there too.I pacific fighters too I recall. And nascar racing. Good memories. And fs2004 is still going strong!

Ha, yeah know the feeling. So many developers wanting full price for a 10-20 year old product. Flight1 the main culprits. Evidently FS2004 still makes money (don’t tell Jim.sshhhh :p) Haven’t seen a decent 310 though. Sorry.

Well, logged back in after a few years, saddened to see every server room empty. Hung around for while then found myself in the Fast and Furious server with 8 guys defending Bruay like the old days! 4 a team. Wow, most fun I've had for while. Maybe not to the amount of users like the old days, but still, better than just me lol. Picked up where I left off - dropping 20lb bombs on Foucaucourt getting blasted by AA. As usual. Good fun!

Aircraft AirFile Manager V2.2. I’ve been using AAM for years. A great program. Very easy to use.

But the developers have already made their choice. They all left fsx and P3D to move to MSFS. But you say….they didn’t? Even though…..they did? But you say they don’t stay with fs2004 since it’s a bad business decision? And you say they stay developing add-ons for fsx because it makes money? But 98%+ developers all left p3d (no mention of fsx) to move to MSFS because they say p3d makes them no money. But you say…. you do know what you’re saying right? *headscratch emoji

Really? FSX? P3D? So all those developers (nearly all) who left P3D the last few years because of no sales to switch over to MSFS ….were wrong? You’re saying all the major developers - despite saying it’s a terrible business decision to stay developing for P3D - are staying on P3D because it’s a better business decision? Despite they all saying that moving over to MSFS because no one was buying for P3D? But you say they stay with P3D because it’s a better business decision? *headscratch emoji

So why do they still support FSX and P3D?

You paid for FSGRW and could never download weather for it?

FSG works for me. I can’t compare as I never used ASE. I did have AS6.5 which I really enjoyed. But, FSG does the job. Has plenty of historical weather options which I like.

So they’re only making it available for MSFS? The only new and updated ‘simulator’? (Many I know don’t regard it as a true flight simulator like many other sims, fs2004 etc.) If only all other former FS2004 developers would give their add-ons away for free. I’ve emailed many over the last year or so and none want to as they say they’re still making making money on FS2004 products. Go figure…

I was a AS65 user many many years ago. I always thought it was the best WX program in FS2004. I miss it.

Trying to figure out what that means. These all do what exactly? These guys always had a zillion different wx/cloud programs for some reason. Well no wonder with so many programs seemingly doing the same thing.
