a pilot question by [email protected]
Hi all, I'm a pilot. I mean for real. Like certificated. My question is, why aren't sims worth a damn? They're cheezy and crappy. The flight models are wrong. The radio equipment doesn't work right. The terrain isn't photorealistic and I can't pull negative Gs. You can't do pilotage. The dead...

This is a newsgroup that has been getting very quiet recently and we hope to jerk it back into life. We thought...

FS9/FS2004: As fake as it gets? by John Doe
I really like scenery in flight simulators for site seeing and exploration and have always wanted more, but FS9/FS2004's generated scenery is IMO the definition of "eye candy" the way others use the word. I guess Microsoft figured it was more efficient to include fake scenery than to increase...

I love "eye candy" ... any FS2002/FS2004 comparison screenshots? by Jack Straight
My question is this. Are there any screenshots which contrast the same cities/countryside/whatever in Flight Simulator 2002 and Flight Simulator 2004? In other words, are there any screenshots which contrast the view of various locations like in between landmarks, the Grand Canyon, or Hawaii...
