Cloud9 - Fly The Lakes
Many scenery
packages offer nice destinations (airports)
to fly into, but Cloud9's Fly The Lakes
is noteable for what it provides between
the few airports in this region of Italy:
spectacular scenery. Mountains plunge
into lakes, roads cling to cliffs, and
all around while flying there are things
to see. The package even includes a SeaMax
amphib to explore the lakes with.

TweakFS
Path Util
FS2004 utility
developer TweakFS has released a handy
tool which helps to analyze and repair
the FS9 entry in the Windows registry.
Many FS applications and their installers
depend on knowing the path to the FS9.exe
as reported in the Windows Registry. But
what if the registry entry has been corrupted
or deleted when reinstalling Windows?
Manually copying the FS9 folder to another
folder or drive will also invalidate the
registry entry. This may in some cases
prevent an FS add-on from working correctly
and require a reinstall of FS2004.
