Members Gary Cohn Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yes! Man, I can play fsx all day. So much fun. I try to get on a couple times a week to smash out some flights. Just went from KWVI to KSAN in 1.4 hours flying a Cessna 551. Heavy rain, 1/4 vis with 800 foot ceilings. Slamdunk the approach at San Diego like a baus. Anyone else get addicted?

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 No.I was about to ask how the {censored} you can spend so much time flying a virtual {censored}ing plane from one place to another, and then I realised I do the same {censored} with racing sims.

Lol, I got friends that sit on PS3 for 8 hours at a time I could fly from CA to {censored}in Europe in that time- that's sad (I have done that before, but I got to cruising altitude, set the Autopilot and walked off for 7-8 hours before coming back).I like to play the game just to stay sharp on the instrument flying stuff.

Members MattACaster Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Never played MS Flight but I enjoy a good flightsim. Killed a lot of time playing FS4, USNF 97 and ATF back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cirrus Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yep, I used to be well into flight sims. US Navy Fighters was my first one, then the Janes ones - Longbow, F-15, F/A-18, USAF... I still play FSX every now and again. Not so much this last year but I had a spell last winter of using it quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slaymoar Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 I enjoy a VFR approach with a large airliner.. I did the Paris/London flight a few time. Takes a while to complete, funny part is I actually looked at the scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Killjoy Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 used to play IL2 quite a bit (combat flight sim) with full length missions and used a home-made head tracking setup- was pretty awesome when set up proper! my other heavy gaming was a few FPS (counter strike, CoD 1,2,4) not just some pub stuff, I played some CAL, bitches.

Members Gary Cohn Posted December 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 U need to get on that then. I like fsx over xplane. Xplane is a little too arcade'ish for me. Fsx reminds me of really flying (as far as procedures go). I think FSX has more downloadable {censored} as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members extollo Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 check out these home cockpits starting at 3:00. and I thought paying over 50 for flight stick was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
