MS Flight Simulator

[Don Maddox]

While not a combat flight sim, MSFS is surely the big cheese of the flight simulation community. Anyone here enjoy non-combat flight simulation? If so, what kind of planes do you fly?

I like the challenge of flying the big jets. I am still working on that 747 barrell roll. But them planes don't handle like the ones I flew in 'Nam! :laugh: I can do it in a Learjet though. If in a wry mood, I will take up the Concord, ramp her up to full throttle, get her up to top speed, then switch to a monoplane. Nothing like traveling Mach 1 in a Sopwith Camel - and watching the wings snap as the plane disintegrates. Unfortunately my version didn't give the visual I had hoped for, the game just ended when the velocity exceed the wing stress.

As for my complete skills as an MS Pilot, I think Indiana Jones put it best:

"I didn't know you could fly a plane!"

"FLY yes! LAND, no!" :laugh:

I may give the "Queen of the Skies" a try sooner or later. Steep learning curve, but fairly interesting. http://www.precisionmanuals.com/

I would also like to see a really high quality A380.
