Skydiving computer game as a Christmas present

[sjc 0]

What do you think about giving a skydiving computer game as a Christmas present? For example, Force Field Accuracy for PC?

Blue skies.

I downloaded demos of canopy glide and the landing software to just play with it and both versions crashed on my laptop. One made my computer run so slow it became unresponsive for about 5 minutes. I am running Vista Ultimate Super Duper.

My impression is that there is still work to do with the product.

Great idea though

Just like I learned how to fly a plane using Microsoft Flight Simulator, I also completed AFF by skydiving on my Atari.

Want to see a pic? Of course you do!

EDIT: I am the guy in green. My friend is the guy in pink. He didn't complete AFF.

If the computer meets minimum specs for the game, then there is something funky going on. Could you send me more information?

I did not know there is AFF for round parachutes :)

I get an error that says "could not load DZ." I tried it on both OpenGL and DirectX.

This is for "Landing Pattern" version 1.4.1021.0

I ran the lanbding sim again and it worked this time, although saying "you broke a bone!" is kinda harsh... So I only flared 50%...

It seems that you have a good laptop, but the video card does not support all the features of the program. But it seems that you get it to work, which is good. Full version of the program has an option which allows you to have good landing all the times. This option is useful for practicing the pattern only :)
