THE DEFINITIVE FS2004 TWEAKING GUIDE

[@WildBirdAviation]

I am glad this video is still helping many people to achieve their dream of flying in 2021 and beyond. Thank you for your support. Juan --- September of 2021.

Hola Juan Francisco me alegro que regreses pronto nos mantenemos en contacto ya le hice el ajuste al simulador FS9 y hasta ahora se ve bien nos mantenemos en contacto bienvenido de regreso

[@Lambonights]

Thank you for this as FS2004 still rocks!

[@jasonmartin1407]

So true!! I'm still using FS2004 and with after years of scenery addons, aircraft and weather addons it looks and flies brilliantly. Always fly in VC using TRACKIR and it's amazing.

[@nordrichinds7775]

Thank you very much. Was very helpful after returning many years later!

[@WildBirdAviation]

Forgot to mention something. This tweaking guide is optimized for both graphic quality AND performance (maximum output relation of both parameters). If your PC is strong enough or still lags after modifying the CFG file, just play with some sliders, but don't touch again the CFG file. Those are universal tweaks intended for a better overall experience with FS2004 in ANY kind of hardware. Cheers!

Brother, you saved my FS9 on win10. It was lost, FPS < 10. Now, its 24 fps. Thank you!!!

[@itsameoli]

Now my fps 30 to 28

[@Art_bor]

Whats your pc specs ?

[@getshamim]

Thanks brother.. great setting

[@scopex2749]

Screw FSX! I recreate WW2 RAF bases and detailed airfields for FS 2004. Later simulator programs don’t provide so many design programmes. I travel all over the country measuring, surveying and photographing old airfields. Many buildings i cant find online I reproduce in 3D then put the building in the right place on its aerodrome. FS2004 Is less glitchy and buggy than others. But hoping that the new FS2020 will be ace?

[@virtualsearchrescue2709]

Fancy doing RAF Llandwrog? I can help with recourses!!

[@WildBirdAviation]

That's very interesting to know. Yeah, FS2004 was incredible for its stability. I don't know if any other simulator has ever come close up to this day. September of 2021.

[@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui]

Hola Juan te habla Francisco espero que te encuentres bien estaré pendiente cuando regreses a tu canal ya estoy suscrito espero hablar contigo más tarde hice el cambio en mi simulador 2004 y se ve bien se ve muy muy bien aunque el problema de la gráfica creo que eso nunca se puede resolver 100% pero se ve mucho mejor de lo que se veía antes y lo sigo usando es tremendo simulador cuídate mucho Juan hablamos después

[@AlbertoPirrotta]

Great Flight Simulator !!!

[@dpdrummer6898]

Omg thaks very much, finally finish my lag

[@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui]

Hi Juan again this is Francisco I’m trying an English maybe could be better so my question was how do you save the settings that you entered after you enter the numbers for the pie amateurs how do you save it so I got it on no pad if you save it on the information that notepad thank you

[@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui]

Hola José Juan yo me llamo Francisco y estaba viendo que hacen cuatro años visité este video pero tengo una pregunta si todavía estás por ahí presente cómo es que Se salva la información después que uno hace el cambio después que uno hace el cambio con los número donde que se salva la información que no se borre gracias por todo espero que estés presente por ahí

[@WildBirdAviation]

Buenas! Si estoy, ya voy a volver con novedades... Tenes que GUARDAR haciendo click en GUARDAR o SAVE (si lo tenes en inglés), el documento .CFG. De esa manera lo guardás. Tené en cuenta que por las dudas es mejor tener el simulador CERRADO mientras cambias el .CFG, así no se superponen los cambios. Luego cuando modificaste el archivo podes abrir el simu :)

[@boeing747sim8]

but how can you have higher frame rates when you locked the frame rate at 24?

[@WildBirdAviation]

Marco Governali Simulation that's what I said that if your pc is strong enough you can play with the sliders. The most important thing is the fs9.cfg tweakings.

[@joelevy750]

Will tweaking work on windows 11. ?

[@MinimumsAviation]

I cant find cfg file I install fs2004 on another drive

[@kotaro806]

Hi, do you know how to improve the response of controls in flight simulator 2004? My controls have a certain "delay", the plane responds slowly, and the rudder is sometimes unresponsive. If I increase the FPS, will the aircraft respond faster? I think my FS2004 has a good frame rate. 😔

[@WildBirdAviation]

If I recall correctly, there's a utility (an addon) for FS2004 called FSUIPC. You can look it up, I think the free version can help you customize joystick sensitivities. Make sure you download the correct FSUIPC version for FS2004. FPS are just GRAPHICS. It has nothing to do with Aircraft responsiveness.

[@kotaro806]

@@WildBirdAviation Okay, thanks, I'll try to test this utility. I discovered the problem. I hadn't specified before, but I play on keyboard, and when switching the camera to the cockpit window, then zooming out until the yokes appear, I noticed that keyboard piloting is weird/buggy, because FS2004 doesn't understand commands keyboard accurately. For example, if you press the button for the plane to go to the right and keep it pressed, the FS2004 will identify as if it was just a click, after about 1 second, the controller responds aggressively with the yoke turning to the right. When using an external control (joystick), the FS2004 understands the inputs accurately, the control is understood immediately and smoothly, completely different from the keyboard. The FS2004 interprets keyboard commands as if they were clicks, every time you press a keyboard button, the yoke moves a little "robotic". With a joystick, the controls are better and more precise. Did you understand? If you test it you will understand better.

Thank!! I❤You))

[@jorgezadar4509]

Hi, thanks for your video, I have a question, How can I fix the fs9 error or mistake " fs9 is stop? I jabe this problem when i program flights

[@WildBirdAviation]

Hola, hablemos en español Jorge. Mira te recomiendo que busques en Google cual puede ser la causa de tu problema... Yo dejé FS9 ya hace más de un año. Suerte

[@RICARDOLopez-bi2jd]

Need real weather for my fs 2004, whats out there?

[@Ben-rm9jx]

i lost my fs9.cfg file and now i cant play fs2004. i have the original disks but no cd drive.anyone know where i can download it?

[@WildBirdAviation]

It will generate a new fs9.cfg if you lost the file and you restart the application

[@ubc72xlt2]

restart fs9. FS9 create a new one!

[@Ben-rm9jx]

@@WildBirdAviation I tried. It still won't start

[@Ben-rm9jx]

@@ubc72xlt2 i tried that

[@dteasdale77]

get an external USB disk drive, they are inexpensive and very handy.

[@TheRealLaughingGravy]

I tried running FS 2004 a couple of months ago, and it would not start. I did some research and read that the CD copy protection (you have to keep Disk 4 in the CD drive) didn't work in Windows 10. You can easily find the no-CD crack online, and it works, but it is fs9.exe, not fs91.exe. Is there a way to run 9.1 on Windows 10?

[@WildBirdAviation]

Oh. I have no idea mate. So sorry.

[@MiroslawSawenko]

Thank you! But why Terrain Radius (both) is 9.0 but not 9.9?

[@WildBirdAviation]

SimpleSim this are Nick Needham's tweaks. I think because you hardly can notice the difference visually but I'm not sure. Cheers

[@matiashermida5871]

Hi, do you have a list of addons that you are using? Next message will be in spanish :)

[@WildBirdAviation]

[@matiashermida5871]

Gracias!. Yo estoy particularmente interesado en texturas para suelo, escenarios. Vuele por donde vuele...son todos campos :) . Voy a revisarlos. Saludos

[@WildBirdAviation]

ORBX converted a full. Si volas en Europa o EEUU sumale UTX ;) Saludos!

[@matiashermida5871]

Si, me gusta volar por Europa. El ORBX ya lo tengo, y el REX tambien, pero la version comun (no la overdrive). El UTX no es solo para FSX? (uso fs2004)Ya tengo el UT Europe, pero no el X

[@WildBirdAviation]

Si, quise decir el UT. UTX solo para FSX.

do you play fs9 on multiplayer

[@WildBirdAviation]

Ibrahim Semlali yes, mostly on VATSIM using FSInn

[@ubc72xlt2]

uralte tipps!

[@CSnev3r]

i dont have lag on fs2004 at all, infact i dont have lag at fsx also... but when i installed addons on fsx, i had only 10-20fps which i didnt like, and i heard that fs2004 was much optimized even with addons, so I really want to find some realistic addons, thought this would provide me with addons, plz anyone recommend me any amazing realistic addons? I hate the scenery here thats why!

[@doremy123]

Please , don't spit to mic...!

[@Robin-bk2lm]

But what does it look like?!

[@WildBirdAviation]

Like a 15+ years old flight simulator :D

[@RIZOGENESE]

o q é tweaking?
