Oh boy, I have to get on my other computer for this one

Back in a sec

It's been a while since I've cranked up Flight Sim, but here's a screen shot I had floating around.

Somewhere over the Great South Bay...

I started with FS2 on the Commodore 64. That thing was impossible to land, with its 7 frames per second framerate. Moved up to a floppy-disk based version when I had a Mac Plus. Then I got into FS98 when I got my first PC. It helped me get through grad school

Then I got into FS9, or 2004. Got myself a yoke, throttle quadrant, and rudder pedals, and it was ON baby

I was really impressed, when on a transpolar flight, I spotted the Northern Lights

Nice stuff! If I may ask, what scenery and aircraft add-ons were purchased? I'm interested in the Falcon, Tomcat Hornet, primarily.
And what versions of the Sim are we looking at (where unlabeled)?

Speaking of simulators, does anyone have a preference between FSX vs. X-Plane 10? Any others preferred?

I use FSX with Arris F-14 most of the time

video was from my old slow computer

Those FS98 shots are EPIC, hard to believe we once thought that was awesome and detailed...


I have yet to use X-Plane 10, so I can't say I have much to compare to, but FSX does all I want it to.

If you were referring to my shots, thanks for the kind words!

As for my sim, FSX Gold SP2 with Acceleration.

My Tomcat, F-35, and Goshawk are freeware from Dino Cattaneo.

The Hornet is the payware SuperBug X from VRS Simulations.

The Falcon is Aerosoft's payware F-16X.

The L-39 is the LotusSim payware model.

The aircraft carrier is a freeware one that's pretty easy to find, very much worth the time to download as it even has the interior modeled.

The St. Maarten scenery is the payware FlyTampa X variant.

Hope that helps!

Lemme enter this!! I just finished building my high-end gaming /simming computer running x plane 10!! its unbelievable... I can't speak for FSX but x plane is looking mighty fine!! ill post some screenshots later!

very interested

LOL, the Metro Airbus departing SXM is hilarious...

You should see some of the other aspects of that scenery if you think that one's funny!

Has anyone tried the new Microsoft Flight yet? https://microsoftflight.com/en-us/home/

Its not a flight SIM, but is a terrible airplane game. Do not even bother.
