  • Flight Simulator X

    I finally got this mother of a game.

    Being impatient, I first tried a Free Flight game with the airbus. I look at all the controls, pressing everything and nothing happened, except I started going forward into the airport (which surprisingly, doesn't cause it to crash).


    So I figured I better start from the lessons, first off, Keyboard SUCKS. Move to the left, and you will go left so hard and fast you have to quickly go right, which causes you to go hard and fast to the right, so I try to tap my way back level with little nano-tapping, but it does not fricken work.

    So I turn on the mouse, great, now I can fly smoothly, no problem.

    But I have another problem, one that I can't find my way around, and that's the throttle. I soon realised that increasing the throttle, does not necessarily mean you will go forward. This I learned while I was taxing. I tried, I really really tried to just go 5km, but it's damn impossible, you are either idle or accelerating, I can't find a way to level my speed to just 5km!!


    Anyway, great game, even has my small unknown cities in it, I can't wait to fly long distances and crash at the end!


    Graphics do kind of suck though, I was expecting better.

        Now you can train on flying into the Eiffel Tower.

            It's a terrific sim, but not for you. It requires a pretty solid understanding of scientific fundamentals to play well, which you sorely lack.

              PS: Again, you fail to draw a distinction between game and sim. Flight Simulator X is not a game, it is a...simulator.

              This seems to be a common thing for you.

              The only part of the game that could loosely be argued to be a game are the challenge modes (eg, fly in a 737 and experience an engine failure and then land it safely). Most people don't do that, and it's kind of an afterthought.

                  Wow! I know that ruin my day, and make me wonder about the night before.

                      Did anyone else notice that he called it a game while ranting that it wasn't a game?
