MS Flight Sim 2004 Jesus, it is slick and isn't too expensive and is about as gnarly as civil aviation sim [at the cheap price] can be. Fuck. I don't got time to write a review here, but I will say this: If you got lots of time to blow and want to do some serious simming and use yer fuckin head, get this software [bootlegged if you wish, I ain't sayin' 'go off and give Bill Some More Money' - although I DID, this time] Nevermind.
Yeah great sim. Love the new helo and the DC-3 . I can take off from the airfield which is accross the road from me irl and fly around my town. I can even notice some of the landmarks on the mountian like the local radio and tv brodcasting towers.
I think the Flight Model is more real in Flight-sim 2004 then Warbirds will ever be And that is why you don't see me in Warbirds no more. I can't stand the FM in Warbirds it totaly sucks and i don't miss it one bit, so have fun guys in Warbirds and Happy Hunting. Barak %) CO JV44 Galland's Flying Circus Dam This Fucking Joystick Is Stuck Again PS Lets Not Start A Flame War Over This Please. Enjoy what you have, I know i do
this game is good for americans i guess, cause they have a full scenery of their land, so it's cool in that way. for a french who d'like flight in VFR near his famous aeroplaces, it's a bit boring. a thing that i can't explain: when i play in WB, there many times a forget i'm in front a computer, when i fly on big flight sim(x-plane etc...) i alway keep the feeling to be sit in front of one.
@Boroda Of course... FS was originally developed by Apple, but the IBM verision rights were bought off by MS. Here the short story of the beginings of MSFS: http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsh/fs2.htm
Ya can download this gnarly "mesh scenery" shit, see? Where the resolution is like, 30 meters, which is reallly hard on the machine, hehe. I have flown all around my home and recognize a fuck of a lot MORE than two landmarks. Ferries outta my hometown goin to the islands next to me. A terminal at the airport that looks like the one I see down there, and the other one at the town down there, about forty miles, another beautifully done airfields and all in between many more municiple airfields. Forests fishin lakes, trees, farms and even the odd mooses, bridges highways and powerlines I all seen before, all out there faitly predictable, I can come home followin a hydroelectric powerline line fom Bennet lake to Whatjacallit. And even see some animals. Fuck. The 'sdk's are out there and the scenery math is open. Blah blah. And the flight model is fine for what yer doin in the game which is pilotage, NOT the other thing, um. Don't worry about fm, Ya arent supposed to be on the knife edge in civil flyin anyways. It is about patterns, weather navigation atc ifv vfr. I gotta get outta here
