The best flight simulator around in my opinion. Do you have it/what do you think of it?

Can you fly? :P

It's not at all easy if you want to fly properly.

I've had it for about a month now and I've just about completely mastered IFR/VFR ánd ILS etc.

nope i was at a caravan for a weekend, so well, whats gonna take up the most time,

started it up, entered the details in the planner, tried doing it with fspassengers but it kept ripping off my undercarriage so i started at like 5:30 , and took the long way to JFK (Around Canada) had to stop for fuel when entering america, then to jfk .. non stop

gotta say using the gps to update the auto pilot so boring, afterwards i had to get in a space shuttle and just... 360 , then get in the boeing and do a 360 in that, flying upside down in the new airbus, agh so much fun

Um... you don't need to update for AP lol. Switch the NAV button to GPS and it will follow your route.

Its quite easy, but when trying to fly a 747 outta heathrow, i can't do it. it takes around 10 seconds to actually get up into the air. ( Thats 10 seconds after the runway )

well, engines to full. break off, correct flaps 15/20 , Break set to RTO or whatever it is, wait till you've got 200+ Knotts, pull up to 15 degrees and glide out of the airport, gear up,

iAdam

You can get the game pre owned about £15 (gamestation) and a decent joystick £20 (I reccomend Logitech attack3 from argos) so to get the msot out of the game it's about £35.

Doubt it, The file is massive.

I've been flying on Flight Simulator 2004 for over two years last night, I ended up buying a £75 joystick for it which was great. I love flying on it. I've recently flew from Manchester INTL - Perth Wst Australia.

I usually download alot of my add-ons and downloading aircraft from
http://www.simviation.com It's a nice site and you can also download some cool add-ons such as boats if your wanting a mess around.
