God have given the world a genius! Thank you so much! Greetings from the planet Saturn

[@andrewb9274]

I wanted to thank you so very much for showing me how to get my Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 working again. I was so frustrated I could not get it working. I am a pilot who was looking to enjoy flying again after a long absence. Truly, you made a difference.

[@skipmccloskey7918]

Wonderfully done, I have had this copy for years, I can now use it, thank you.

[@klinmuzik]

Thank you so much. October 2024 and you are still helping. It definitely worked.

[@Alaska-mk4ok]

thank you so much I didn't download FSX or X-Plane-11 because the demo versions of them were too laggy and I searched the internet so hard for fs2004 downloads. Finally I found this and it worked, thank you SO much once again.

[@distinguishedsilverfox3563]

Thank you a million. You allowed me to once again do something I'm passionate about which is flying airplanes.

[@atseridiagbuke3838]

YOUR FIX ACTUALLY WORKS THO!!!!
THIS ONE OF THE ONLY FIXES I'VE WATCHED ONLINE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!
THANKS G.

[@RM-py5wb]

This is fantastic!! I searched all over the internet and lots of highly sophisticated language and suggestions, none of which work. Yours did marvelously. Thanks a million!!

[@JensenJamie]

I have been out of flying for a while and wanted a refresher. FS9 also helped with instrument rating. Could not get it to work until this patch. Worked great. Back in the figurative air and will be safer in the real air. Many thank.

[@astronav24]

well done young man. I have just bought a new windows 10 machine and with your help rediscovered the joys of MS Flight Sim 2004. Now just waiting for Flight Sim 2020.

[@hudsonriver3188]

Outstanding young friend and thank-you greatly. By following your steps, you solved my problem and now I am able to fly my favorite flight sim. Well Done -

[@robertoribeirosantana3608]

I wish to thank you for your video. Since I installed Windows 10 in my computer I couldn't get Flight Simulator 2004 to work anymore. But with your tips I did what you taught us and now it's working again. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

[@dax_thunder]

still works in 2022, thanks mate your a life saver.

[@anmolkhare1565]

thank you dear canon lock. you have given a 15 years old simulator key and i have played this game today after 13 years

[@lizr87]

That helps. Now I can use this flight simulator I got for Christmas years ago on my new computer. Thank you.

[@raypelot1512]

Hey thanks for the intel. My FSX disk 2 was lost and I needed to reload my FS9. This was great. Keep up the great work.

[@conanlock3246]

Thanks, glad it worked. Also, if fsx has a product key, you might be able to register it with steam, so you won't need the disk 2.

[@hectormedina8016]

Well, done, young man!! Thank you!

[@piratejafrique6351]

thanks brav, shout out from Kenya...

[@makkusaiko]

The dll file might be in game install files. Try copying to flight sim folder

[@fiat300pct]

Thank you soo much! This tutorial solved two problem at the same time! Running it in Win 10 and at the same time, the insert disk 4... Years ago I struggled for hours not having to insert disk 4 and never got it right! Now I don't need to insert disk 4! AWESOME!!! One question, what screen capture software do you use? I'd like to capture my flights and on the old XP I used MSI afterburner, but it seems that doesn't work on my Win 10 laptop. Thanks, liked and subscribed!

[@conanlock3246]

Hi there, I use Microsoft Expression Encoder 4, it's free and from Microsoft. It's not great for game capturing, as it is very slow for high performance games. Although, after tweaking a few things I got a nice 15fps capture of Stalker Clear Sky. Check it out here if you want: www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=27870

[@VdeVengamin]

thank you sir. very helpful indeed.

+Jacob Steglich-Petersen You're welcome! Great that this works for you!

[@jacobsteglich-petersen9729]

I still have a little problem though. The pictures of the planes you want to choose are not displayed in the bottom screen. I updated to 9.1, but maybee I should go back? Or? ;-)

[@conanlock3246]

Hi, when you installed FS9 on Windows 10, did you use any backups of add-on aircraft from before you updated?

[@Mrmachbusterman]

Well done young man... was about to uninstall it and found your video 👏👏

[@jaffacakejeff7604]

I hate how people dislike the video just because the creator sounds young

[@Ken-iy9mb]

Thanks , it worked just fine....windows did want to load a file to make it work but windows did it for me...now I have something to mess with during our hurricane.

[@conanlock3246]

+Ken Davis Glad it worked! Was the extra file it needed DirectX? If so, you do need to install it.

[@knightsson1045]

I got the patch..i had a fewling i had to get the patch without watching this vid...and i was right!!anyways tysm👌😁

[@lilcuffie8543]

Now I see why there aren’t as many people that do flight simulator videos.probably because the initials are the same as Farming Simulator
