Wasn't the question.
I had no trouble hearing what they say on 2004 either.
The problem was I guess you can call it "dead air".
Only ones that are talking are the towers at the airports.
Is there more chatter maybe from other aircrafts or more chatter from the towers that might actually be helpful ??

There is talk from other aircraft. However, to my knowledge, you'll need a higher air traffic setting to take full advantage, which is a PC killer.

Well that's always something.

There are payware add-ons that will give you increased radio traffic as well as others that will give you a much improved interactive cockpit, with mouthy co-pilot and all.

I tend to fly solo bush flights so radio chat is way down on my list of priorities.

I recently purchased the following products from Aerosoft.

Monaco X
Helgoland X
Piper Cheyenne X
FSX Mission Pack 1
FSX Acceleration

I'll be looking to get them around this week. Should be great fun.
I also have installed (borrowed from a sim geek) Lukla X, DHC-6 Twin Otter, the Wilco Airbus series (both), Pilatus PC-12.

I also plan to get FS Global 2008 + FS Genesis (a must).
Any comments on FS Global?

Will this computer run FSX well ??

Intel® Core™ 2 Q6600 Quad processors (2,40 Ghz, 1 066 MHz FSB, 8 MB cache)
DUAL 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800GT graphics card
3GB Dual Channel DDR2 667MHz [2x1GB, 2x512MB] Memory

Or FS2004 for that matter ??

Should be great for FSX. You'll still have limitations, but you'll be able to enjoy most of the good stuff.

On the other hand, FS2004 will smoke on that system. You'll be able to run everything maxed with heavy AI traffic at major airports. That's something you can only dream of in FSX.

Both sims are CPU hogs, not so much on the video card.
