Flight Simulators!

[scott757]

Does anyone here play any flight simulators? for me it's an addiction, anyone else do the same?

[double r]

I use Microsoft flight simulator, but I play it once in the while.

[Silicate Wielder]

I got Microsoft Flight simulator X and Flight simulator 98, I want to get the newest one, but then I forgot the name of it. I'm just glad flight simulator 98 is one of the few games by Microsoft that I can run on Linux.

Microsoft flight... its not a sim, more like a game... :(

I sometimes play MS flight simulator 2004. It still runs on my newer laptop. I can't land on anything though :/

Haha I was like that at first... I used the autopilot heading hold and altitude hold to land :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Now I have my joystick (and found the trim buttons!!) I'm a lot better now, can land almost on the centerline from the cockpit now :D

[Will Grigg's on Fire]

I have Microsoft Flight Simulator X :D I haven't played it in a while but I love it! Have you downloaded planes from the internet yet?

I never thought of heading hold!!!!

Now I have my joystick (and found the trim buttons!!)

I've never understood trim. What is it? What does it do?

[Smeagol]

I don't have a flight simulator, I wish I did... I like flying my grandpa's cessna though in real life, but landing is really hard...

It means you don't have to constantly hold the yoke to keep the aircraft pitching up or down.

Goto the learning centre or there is a lesson where it talks about it.


Btw, I have FS2004 and FSX.

Smeagol: (I forgot to multi quote) microsoft flight simulator 2004 is quite cheap on amazon (assuming you have a windows computer: XP, vista or 7)

[NotYourSombrero]

I used to have FSX but don't really play much any more. I would love to have like a warfare realistic flight sim.

[scott757]

Have you downloaded planes from the internet yet?

Downloaded from the internet, joined a VA and I even own about 7 payware planes and 2 payware sceneries and I'm waiting for a new scenery and two new planes to come out

[VeryWell]

I tried one of those flight simulaters once, and it occurred to me that I would've been a great Kamikaze pilot.... :P

[Azunite]

I have FS:X.

I "was" an addict, but I don't play much anymore.

The new Microsoft flight is pretty fun. Plus you can get it for free on Steam.

[SGTM]

I play Flight Sim X with a Saitek X52 Flight Sick/Throttle, the new Microsoft Flight SUCKS!

[TheAppleProsS]

i do i play Microsoft flight and X-plane 10 and FSX Gold

[Φρανκομβριτ]

I'm on FSX, though I hardly use it anymore....


I have a rather large selection of downloaded aircraft.

I would love to try flying with the full throttles/yoke set. I just have a basic joystick with a wee mini throttle on the side... thrustmaster brand...

And I agree Flight is not a "simulator" of any kind, it's a game...

[gone123]

Been playing since fs2004 came out and still play both fs9 and fsx. Also do some occasional repainting and now I'm working as the a modeller on a project making an airplane for fsx.

What airplane? :yeah:

[gone123]

What airplane? :yeah:

The Concorde, our hopes are to make it one of if not the best Concorde available for fsx. Which is why we have a team of people working on it. :yeah:

So have I. It might be a little outdated but it's a great game.

Good luck with that. I hope you do well:D

Agreed. It's a huge insult so I'm not buying it.
