I thought I might make this thread for FS2004/FSX screenshots. Here are some that I have taken today:

And I was going to get some screenshots of the approach but FS2004 decided it was going to freeze up at about 10 minutes from landing. :'(
I'll add more later. :)
I've been considering some multiplayering on it. But yeah I do play FSX a bit (no screens, sorry).
Multiplayer? Does one player get to be a captain and the others get to be passengers? That'd be funny.
DO A BARREL ROLL!
Haha, I'd love to see the "passenger fear" after that!

Great, then you'd have problems with terrorists joining your game and hijacking your plane...
Passenger adrenalin (fear): 100%
Frightened by hijacker
Actually yes you can play online. Most of the FSX servers are garbage though.
I fly on a network called Vatsim (http://vatsim.net). It's very similar to the real thing. Real controllers, real approach charts, etc.)
LOL... ok, so this evening I was tuned to Kennedy departure on vatsim and he told me to slow to 160 knots when I was in the middle of a climb to my cruising altitude of FL210!

Ok, so I was below 10, 000 feet and was in a climb to FL210 (21, 000 feet) and climbing at 250 knots (463 km/h).
The Kennedy Departure controller goofed up and accidentally told me to slow to 160 knots (a stalling speed during a climb) and I'm like Wtf? 160 knots = 296.32 km/h
The n after that he apologized and gave me radar vectors to Merit... :)
Over-rotated an old 737-200 on a very short runway and had to make an emergency landing on Winnipeg
s runway 36.

If anyone ever has any questions about the game, I'd be happy to answer them. :)

Hahahahhahah. That was good.
My advice (as I play on keyboard and mouse): get used to flying small stuff like the Ultralight, then move up to the bigger. The default is easy, it just is different than one would expect.

Buy a joystick. It makes it 99% more easier.
I bought 2-3 joysticks over the course of my life. All of them are Game Port (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_port) joysticks. You know, the adapter that was phased out in like, the course of a few years. Apparently in favor of USB. :(
Here's a picture:

get an adapter?
I have one. It doesn't seem to want to work. Apparently drivers don't work on anything past/including XP. That, and the game controllers option in Windows XP doesn't work very well, either. So. :(
And it's completely phased out in Vista.

I've seen USB joysticks at circuit city for 20$, I even got a good gamepad from them for 25$. Just say no to the warranty and stuff, of course I've said that and they "accidentally" dropped the box. It works fine though.
Why don't you just get a USB joystick? I got mine for $30 at Circuit City. It's a Logitech attack 3 and it works very well with FS2004.

$100 but that was school related.
Anyone been playing FSX recently?
Last time I played it, it brought my computer to a halt. I've got a new processor (an X2) now, so it'll probably run fine if I can get my hands on a copy of Windows.

You can find copies of Windows all over the internet. ;)
Would be cool to start a thread for hi-res screenshots of different games.

Yes, that would be cool... sadly imageshack isn't the best for hi-res photos. I guess we could use http://www.xs.to though.

I can find them all over my apartment, too. It's just a matter of looking, and I'm not convinced that I care about Windows enough to look.
