After experiencing with my FS2004 (ATC won't respond at all or won't respond when I ask for certain things) I got really angry and decided to uninstall FS2004 and give it (and myself) a nice break. Said and done! Only that...I found myself reinstalling FS the next day. The reason I got so is because the majority of simmers describe their FS9 experience to be a very stable one, I on the other side, experience quite a lot of , in most cases, I can fix it, sometimes I find the cause and a solution, sometimes only the solution and sometimes all I can do is to reinstall FS and hope that he issue won't come back. Dunno why the heck ATC played dead with me (happened on last 2 IFR flights)...searched the net and found a bunch of FS9ers experiencing more or less the same problem, but I haven't found a clear cause let alone a solution for it. Hope the reinstall fixed it, if not, the hell with it.

I have the sense that the humanity tends to adopt the worst possible services and products as universal, when it comes to IT, PC and so on - Microsoft is one of the most faulty operating systems...people made it the ULTIMATE OS choice; Skype is one of the least attractive/featured internet videocall providers (plus, it has some privacy issues as far as I know, your IP is not that hard to be found out)...people made it the ULTIMATE net videocall service; YouTube is probably the most flawed video sharing website with one of the least stable video-playing experiences..people made it the ULTIMATE video sharing platform (THESE ARE MY PERSONAL VIEWS) and I tend to believe the same applies to flight sims, we all love MSFS (including me) but what if this is just another case of the worst product being universally adopted? What if developers would massively start developing (the way they do for MSFS) for X-Plane (a superior FS..and more stable...I guess)? Just a thought...

Anyways, wish me luck with my new install or else...................I'll start
