FLIGHT SIMULATOR 4
MODES


This group of MODES are for use with Microsoft's Flight Simulator
Version 4.0. They include simulations from the default scenery as
well as SubLogic's Scenery Disks 2,3,5,7,9,11,Europe and Japan.

Most MODES are arranged for departure from major airports found
in the appropriate scenery. The DOS name for each MODE is
prefaced with the Scenery Disk number (i.e. 2-PHX08L) followed
by the airport 3-letter identifier and runway. (The above
example is Scenery Disk 2, Phoenix (PHX) Sky Harbor Airport,
Runway 08 Left (08L)).

Window #1 is set for the front view from the cockpit with the 4-
dot visual indicator for approaches. By hitting "S" you are
transported to the Tower view.

Window #2 defaults to the spot plane about 50 feet behind your
tail. Window #3 is the Map display. All three windows are set
for full 1/2 screen display above the cockpit instruments. Remember
to use [ ' for window #1, ] ' for #2 and NUM LOCK ' for
the map display. The ' brings the window forward.

I have disabled the sound, crash detect and auto-coupled rudder
and ailerons. This is my preference, though you can modify the
MODES to your own delight.

Some of the non-departure MODES include:

7-SHUTAP Scenery Disk 7- Final approach to the Cape
Canaveral Shuttle Landing Pad.

M-LAXAPP Main Scenery- A 50 mile straight in approach
to LAX from about 14,000 feet over Ontario.

M-BALOON Main Scenery- See a hot-air balloon near
Port Angeles, WA(NW of Seattle).

I have saved each of these MODES using the Lear 25. If you
prefer to use another plane, select that plane before you choose
the MODE and then, from the "MODE LIBRARY" screen (1-F), de-select
option C "Load aircraft if saved with mode."

Hope you enjoy the Flight Simulator 4 MODES.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
