I've been simming since the FS98 era, here's a selection of some of my favorites.

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
One of my Mach 2 Transatlantic trips

landing 31R in the 747 Classic- and don't give me any guff about not being lined up, there was a crosswind...plus I was looking for Costco

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmWQV6Ldqzc
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!Quote:

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!
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...11596014_n.jpg
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.
I have some really nice KFRG scenery. As soon as I can Ill post a pic of Miss Hap on the AAM ramp.
Freeware FS9 FRG scenery with the updated MAAM B25 in Miss Hap livery.

I have read nothing but awful things about Flight. They promote it as a free download that will work without the need for a serious gaming rig, but you only get a few odd picks for aircraft and can only fly around Hawaii unless you pay for more. Regular people seem to think its OK at best but simming enthusiasts are thoroughly disgusted by itQuote:

I have FSX, but am not a real-life pilot. I found the first few training lessons to be good, but then the next lesson I tried was dramatically harder due to lack of "instruction". Does X-Plane have better training, or do they all pretty much assume you generally know how to fly?
Training aside, which is considered to be the better sim, FSX or X-Plane?
Microsoft gave up and pulled the plug on the game some time ago, so X plane will be the only game in town for the foreseeable future...Quote:

In my case, I'll take the enhanced visual fidelity and more detailed VCs of FSX such that I have a better sight picture, even at the expense of slightly inferior handling.
very nice stuff!!!
Jealous of your WTC scenery there, Fred- freeware?
It is from MegaScenery ManhattanQuote:

Here is a video I did almost 8 years ago, when I was going full on with Flight Simulator. I have a Mac now, so unfortunately, I can't play it anymore. (Yes, I know I can install Windows, but I rather not)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZUYe7q2NdM
So I started this project in March...Designed it on a 3D modeling program...Gave it to my friend who owns a factory who does this kind of stuff, He cut the parts and i put it together! Sorry for being so late!~

Awesome design and SIM Jared!
Man thats sweet! My laptop won't reliably run FSX, since its a 32 bit program and my laptop is 64 bit. It makes me sad.
Is that XPlane Jared? That is a sick setup.
Kenny, You're correct...That's XPlane 10 running at 4.7 ghz overclocked. I have it running on some pretty nice settings!
Jason, Try XPlane 10, theres a 32 and 64 bit version when you install!
Yea, I might have to. Poor FSX.

After many months of tweaking, X-plane 10 is starting to meet my expectations graphics wise. The blue haze is a new atmospheric scattering effect that many other simmers are fooling around with... Feel free to ask any questions!
