Christopher 1 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hi, Just a short introduction. I am Chris (50's) from Tyneside, have used all the various FS versions up to 2004. I didn't go beyond that as my computer is not high enough spec to cope with the demands of the later incarnations. I will say (before someone points it out) I am not good with computers, keyboards or in fact most modern technology :-) Look forward to talking to you all. Chris.

It's not going to do you much good, being a decade behind the times. Modern tech is a prerequisite for simming in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 About questions, this site has a search box at the top of every page. Putting a few keywords in there and pressing 'search' will find every thread ever written about the topic. (Thankfully the site has a superb long term memory.:D) You will find an answer to most questions that way. And even if an answer can't be found reading previous threads will help you ask for help in a more clear and specific way, which leads to better and quicker answers. il.

zswobbie1 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi Chris, Dont worry about 'Being behind the times'. You dont have to chase the latest, & FS2004 has more freeware add-ons, & is very much supported here & on other forums. It does not need the latest hardware to work smoothly. Depends on what you want, you will find it with FS2004. I have separate installs for Alaska, Golden Wings, Vintage & a couple of other themes. Just have a look at the FS2004 library right here.. Best of luck. Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight simulation is all about having fun....so don't worry about what simulator you use :-) The majority of the people you will meet here are both friendly and helpful, so when you get stuck, just give us a shout. Happy flying! Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
