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.

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.
