It's qualities as a game are far superior to it's qualities as a simulator. If that were true, it would have a much larger market. Microsoft would probably prefer it that way, as all MS wants is money. But it has such a long heritage as a simulator that it makes a very poor game. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Just because you say it's true? No, because it's objectively so. MS has tried to make the simulator more game-like in FSX, apparently out of a desire to shift the market from the loyal but small market of simmers to the much larger (but much more competitive and volatile) market of gamers. I think that's a bad move, but MS is increasingly tending towards bad moves these days. A long history as a ****-poor simulator has nothing to do with it's poor gaming quality. It's a very good simulator, but it is a poor game, because it has no objective or purpose other than to simulate flight. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

It's probably pretty good at simulating what you believe real flight may be. Lots of pilots agree with me. Heck, pilots designed it. You adamantly refuse to listen when real pilots tell you it is deficient, yet you whole-heartedly agree when they say it's good. I've done neither. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

you can't have absolute realism in a simulation. I can do that almost anytime. ah, Jay. By definition, a simulation is not real. I think he meant he can get in atlas any time.

There was no Web twenty years ago; do you deny the existence of the Web now? WTF are you on? I never mentioned the Net or the Web.. Bad example I was a Co-sysop on Fidonet in 1986 running D'Bridge as Night Caller. We ran until 1995 when the Net became available here.. You are playing a game That is nothing like flying |

What type of pressure feedback do you need? Aren't real rudder pedals
connected in the same way? (One goes forward when the other goes back.) Yes, but with far more resistance. Because the resistance is so light, over-controlling is the norm rather than the exception. This is true with newbies as well as experienced pilots, so it's not just a personal preference on my part. Another problem is that the CH pedals actually "slide" back and forth, rather than going "into" anything. This is a subtle but quite different feel. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
