Are you talking about the Microsoft game? Is it easier to use that flight simulator? Maybe I'll get that for him first and then FS later. Any peripherals needed for TS (joystick)? or Flight Simulator(his second fascination.) He is fairly good at flying, just can't land. But he enjoys the takeoffs and flying around the sky. That's encouraging. If you can find a friend who had Flight Sim, maybe your grandson could try it there. Tom "Top Spin" wrote in message .. . My grandson will be 8 in a month. He loves airplanes. He is also pretty good on the computer. I was thinking of getting him a copy of FS for his birthday, but after lurking on this ng for a few days, I am concerned that the game is too complicated for an 8 year old. I would appreciate any opinions on the appropriateness of FS for an 8 year old boy. If FS is not a good choice, I would appreciate suggestions for other games involving ariplanes that would be. He has a Windows 2000 computer. Thanks PS: Is there a ng that deals with children's games? -- Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (11/09/04) -- Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (11/09/04) |
