    Freeware Version Of FsNavigator!

    in FS2004

    Posted · Edited by caphavoc

    Gi'day Christopher,

     

    Let us know when you reach the 21st or 22nd use (for free).

     

    As johnhinson says: ït's a "myth" FSNav is free after the trial period is over.

     

    Personally, I wish it was free ... I missed out purchasing FSNav while it was for sale (heavy sigh! :( ).

     

    Regards,

    Dorian

    Gi'day João,

     

    You're using Firefox, huh? ;)

     

    Firefox is extremely aggressive with their Certificate identification process ... well-intentioned but a touch over zealous at times (IMO); yes I have had the *bizland.com error warning too. However, because I have downloaded aircraft & repaints from PAD recently that warning no longer pops up (I had to clear my browser cache just to get it to display that warning again :) ).

     

    Have re-accessed PAD yet again and test downloaded the PAD DHC-6 and a Winair repaint. I use MS Defender and have my firewall up, ... it's not a spoof site, nor have I had a virus warning or signs of any attack upon my firewall.

     

    YMMV, of course.

     

    And yes, you are right to be cautious.

     

    Regards,

    Dorian

     

    PS. Great to see Alaskan Winds back in the air again. Still have a Michael Sturm AW repaint of Mike Stone's Goose in my hanger.

    Bill Lyons Custom Classics G21a Grumman Goose (once payware, re-released as freeware).

    FDE by FSAviator (available from CalClassic).

    This a/c is a joy to fly (by the numbers) from the VC.

    My personal preference (whilst in VC) is not to load Jack, Corky or Sarah as co-pilot(s) (they're just a tad too creepy for my liking). YMMV of course.

    Way too many repaints of extremely high caliber to list.

    I use Aaron R. Swindle/Skysong Soundworks payware sound package "Grumman Goose/Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior HD-Audio FSX STEAM FS9".

    Who still flies FS2004 regularly?

    OK. All those out there with a cathode ray computer monitor, raise your hands:)

     

    Me! Me! Pick me!

     

    Would trade in my LCD flat screen for a CRT without a moment's hesitation.

     

    With CRT there's no up-scaling blur, there's no need to run at native resolution, motion resolution is wayyyy better, there's no display lag, and you can run at much higher refresh rates (up to 160 Hz).

     

    Yes, they're bigger and weigh a ton, but they cannot be beat for gaming or any digital graphics work.

     

    YMMV, of course.

     

    Regards,

    Dorian

    Apologies and my crow dinner...

    Always going to be a pipe dream for this simmer ...

     

    (i) NZ South Island rural wireless Internet is advertised as delivering "on average" 29Mbps;

    (ii) the reality is usually just 10Mbps (enough to get Netflix) most of the time.

     

    These speeds are well below ideal to run MSFS (50Mbps).

     

    Oh, and yes ... we're also capped (300Gb a month). We chew through 280Gb of data a month just doing the usual day-to-day internet stuff ... so d/ling MSFS and updates/upgrades is just not going to be possible without blowing our monthly usage cap.

     

    One very unhappy camper ...
