mountainman 0 #1 November 25, 2001 I just picked up a copy of MS Flight Simulator 2002 and I am TOTALLY HOOKED!!! This is so sweet. I have spent about 10 of the past 24 hours flying C182, 747-400, Learjet45, and Bell chopper.I just got done flying from LAX to AOH in a Learjet 45 at FL350 at 280kts. This is such a sweet game. I set the autopilot on, went out and did some errends and came back. Didn't communicate much with ATC through AZ, NM, or OK, but oh well...hehe.If anyone want to try it, I suggest getting it if your computer can handle it. It is great!!!-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no. Not another one"-Alienangel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #3 November 25, 2001 No... But there is a Caravan Brandon... you can take off and land at both Richmond and SGC I'm not sure what to put here right now..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #4 November 25, 2001 QuoteNo... But there is a Caravan Brandon... you can take off and land at both Richmond and SGCAcutally, the Caravan is on the Professional edition and I wasn't about to spend an extra $20 for a couple more planes and some more learning stuff.Also, my first flight yesterday was from Richmond to Xenia airport. I flew around where it said SGC was, but it is all grass, so it's hard to find. I just figured if I laned across town, you would be able to pick me up. Oh yeah.....does anyone know where you can go to download more planes and things of that sort? Thanks!!-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no.

lazerq3 0 #7 November 26, 2001 I have the old vision of MS flight Sim. It is a kick ass game. Funny story I can land the lear jet on the aircraft carrier but my dad who is a pilot cant land a straight approach on the runwayjason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingILweenie 0 #8 November 26, 2001 Hahahaha...a search of simviation for skydivers has Vandalia, IL -- Archway Skydiving Center....of course if it was REALLY accurate, it'd have our DZO landing students and me landing wayyyy off the DZ......

mountainman 0 #10 November 27, 2001 Thanks for the links!! Hopefully I can find some good stuff to fly. I finally have a joystick that I'm borrowing. It is much easier fly with...especially with the throttle control.Yesterday evening, I flew from Pensacola Reg airport to Cancun Intl, then to Cozumel, refueled and then flew back to Pensacola. All of this was in a 182 with retractable gear that I broke off on landing in Pensacola. Hahaha!!-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no.

jumpervali 2 #13 November 27, 2001 Did they take the towers out of the New York surroundings? I heard they were going to remove them from the new edition.jumpervali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #14 November 27, 2001 Yeah....they actually planned a delay of the release to do so. I'm not sure if it was delayed, but that was the last thing they did. -------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no. Not another one"-Alienangel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #15 November 27, 2001 Hahahaha......I got me a Super Otter to fly around. Woohoo!! I'll fly into Sebastian shortly. Also, they have a file where you add the WTC back to the scenery for FS2002. I think I'll have to get that one.-------------http://www.JumpinDuo.com"oh no.

Craig 0 #16 October 30, 2002 I have the 2000 edition and it rocked, havent played since putting XP on my desktop last year. I am thinking about getting 2002 Pro. When I was using the 2000 edition it was running on a AMD 533 with 128 megs and an integrated 8MB video. It worked OK but you had to set scenery detail lower to run smoothly. For anyone using 2002 how does it run on your system (what are the specs)?? Thanks. I need something to mess with this winter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #17 October 31, 2002 Wow! Talk about bringing out the dead. I have ordered MS Combat Flight Simulator 3. It should be here within a few days. It looks awesome!! http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic 0 #18 October 31, 2002 I only have 2000 pro, but I have downloaded 2 porters (one skydiver, one extended range), 2 Twin Otters, a dragonfly () and some other cool planes - the porter climbs like crazy when i's empty - I got it to take off with no flaps in about 30 metres.----------------------------------- It's like something out of that twilighty show about that zone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyboyblue 0 #19 October 31, 2002 QuoteNo... But there is a Caravan *** I have the pro edition and I think the caravan has pontoons. my dropzone airport, much like the rest of our state, is very flat, not much scenery. although the beacon is on the other side of the hanger in real life. the only other major building near crete is the state capital building, and that's no where near what the real one looks like. I call it the penis of the prairie, no really, that's our state capital. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #20 October 31, 2002 It's funny you're showing the passion of flying that I once had (before I became a skydiver). A couple of years ago I was spending a fair amount of time on the home based flight simulator and the girlfriend at the time encouraged me to go for a discovery flight. Well the next thing you know, I was enrolled in some real world flight lessons and a few months later (and thousands of dollars spent on lessons, flight time and flight gear), I was a licensed pilot. Could the same thing happen to you (only in reverse)?

I play on it every day . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pilotdave 0 #23 October 31, 2002 I have 2002 too. I fly just about every real life flight i'm going to do before i do it. Course i usually do it in a much faster plane in the simulator, but its still realistic enough to give me an idea of the scenery along the route so i can be familiar before i do the real thing. Get yourself some addon planes. I suggest http://www.flightsim.com. Gotta register (free) but you can download hundreds of types of planes/helicopters. I try just about every new twin otter that comes out. Can't find one that truly flies like the real thing though.
