this was my very FIRST flight sim, so many fond memories if fliying the historic planes around and totally botching airline flights going both too fast and too high
Wow, This video is beautifully made, It's very unexpected to see a Cinematic FS2004 video in 2023, I'm very glad that someone still made a video celebrating the 20th Anniversary of this old but still excellent simulator! I got FS2004 back in July 2009, It was my second simulator overall after FS2002, today FS2004 is still my most favorite flight sim and I still play it a lot more than modern titles like X-Plane 11 or FS2020. The amount of freeware planes and scenery in FS2004 just can't be beaten, and it's a lot more stable than FSX, These are FS2004's greatest strength and it's what keep me attached to this sim.
Still use FS2004 to this day with the CalClassic freeware. Along with Ultimate Terrain and so many other enhancements - it’s still as fresh as when I started playing it 20 years ago. Never gets old. Must’ve spent hundreds of £s over the years on this game… Really beautiful video. Seeing all those default aircraft brings back so many good memories ❤
My first flight sim was FS95, and escalated from FS2002 to this one. The funny part? when i discovered FS95 i was 12 years old, but it was nowadays on 2018 when modern flight sims already existed, i couldn't believe that it was my first flight sim and now i feel like a grown man with an unexistant memory of me playing FS95 in 1994 lol
Beautifully Done. Very proper tribute to FS2004 and all of what it brought to the table for so many of us. Lots of memories there to be certain. Thank you!
Wonderful video and tribute to this wonderful sim. I’m quite attached to fs2004 as it truly was the sim that made my love for planes and everything aviation confirmed. Like you I was switching to fsx every now and then but fs2004 has been my main stay and will be for years to come as long as I have a computer and the OS supports the old game. Long love FS2004/FS9
Gosh, I love the view of Wittman Regl with those static GA aircrafts. I used to take the Cessna 172SP out and pretend that I'm one of the many flyers parking for the Oshkosh airshow
@@fs10inator Thank You! The FS9.cfg Should Be Easy Enough But The Links Aren't Active. Can't Believe I'm Still Playing The Same Game My Wife Bought Be 20 Years Ago!
MS really peaked with FS2004. Still on my machine today fabulously tweaked and added to. Much of it freeware too. Not so easy with the newest iteration sadly. The community really made the sim as much as MS and retail companies.
Same with the other guy. This is also my very first flight simulator although I did get it later than it was initially released (like 2016) My last flight with this sim was going to Shannon on a Ryanair flight until my hard drive crashed and took away everything, including all my files in this sim.
Thanks so much for this. It's amazing that 20 years has gone by, & FS2004 is still valid & well supported. Any chance of that 20 year old splash screen? I've just put together 2 more FR2004 installs, a Golden Wings version, that I'll set up as a Ford Tri-Motor install (the late Garry Smith's stuff is stunning, & a was a beta tester for him, & a Silver Wings version. I also have a ' normal' version as well, all using most of your recommended downloads.
Yeah, I'm still following him on YT; he never disappoints. We're also on the same FB group for FS2004, where he also shares some of his unlisted stuff.
Textures for world and main texture from fsw fully working in fsx tbh experimenting currently with p3d5.4 data as such in fsx steam half works actually also autofen files and world scenery default from fsw and p3d5.4 work on fsx steam

20 years later, this "game" is the reason I'm at USAF pilot training
Cannot wait for FSX!!
There will be hot air balloons doing 400 knots
Cannot wait for msfs2024!

Fs2004 was a great first sim , giving us great history of the century of flight

Beautiful work! Brings back many memories

Wow, That's A Great Tribute! I Wish Mine Looked That Good! Thank You. (Like #243)
Thanks! There's a Google Docs link in the description that you can check out if you want your sim to look like mine.
@@fs10inator Thank You! The FS9.cfg Should Be Easy Enough But The Links Aren't Active. Can't Believe I'm Still Playing The Same Game My Wife Bought Be 20 Years Ago!
Seeing this brings back so many memories. I love FS2004.
great video, the graphics looks awsome, I still fly my fs9 and still cant make it look this great even with a high end graphic card
Thanks! The first link in the description is to a list of add-ons and settings I use to make my FS9 look exactly as shown in the video.
This is still my flight simulator.
Classic flight sim my original flight simulator use to play it for hours when I heard about the anniversary update on the 2020 version I was so happy

The thumbnail is magnificent! And the video too!
i still have my copy of FS2004 to this day, i did have the RFP 747-100/200 addon but lost it a few years ago....
Awesome..teally love the sim
Well done ! from a FS2004 aficionado 😀

Fs9, the best flight simulator ever.

Cuántas alegrías me dio fs2004😢
My first one was fs2002 tbh
And edetroit keeps making videos with it 😂 and still looks amazing. Wish it had some update for newer sceneries. Still got my copy.

Too bad you can’t play FS2004 today on windows 11 😢
You still can. I played it on my W11 laptop last month.
@ huh?
@@AsherTheAngel You can get a copy from sites the Internet Archive, but doubt first the No-CD patch.
@ I just bought a copy from eBay I have a good external USB CD/DVD drive
