I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wlie 0 #4 January 10, 2004 Speaking of flight simulators, why isn't Flight Simulator offered for the X-Box? I mean, they're both MS products right? What's up with that?My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #5 January 10, 2004 I think MS flight sim is far too complex for a gaming system. I mean, it comes on 4 CDs, and you need a keyboard worth of controls for it. I'm sure they could do a much more basic version that only covers a small area. But I think the main problem with it is that theres no object to it. Theres no way to beat it. And there are no guns. The average gamer would get very bored very fast. I use MS flight sim, but even though I'm a pilot in real life, I rarely fly "realistically." I don't care how realistic it is, cross country flights are boring! On the other hand, when I'm going to do a flight in real life I've never done before, I'll often fly it in the sim first, usually in a much faster plane than I really fly, just to get an idea of what the terrain will be looking like along my path. It's amazingly realistic for that sort of thing. I even chose some landmarks to navigate by from the sim, and they were just as easy to spot in real life.

pilotdave 0 #7 January 10, 2004 I'm not really into the combat sims. I have flown a comanche helicopter simulator. It has guns, missiles, and enemy tanks. Hell, if they put those things in arcades, we'd have thousands of trained pilots by the time the comanche goes into service! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
