I had dreams of a mooring with our boat sitting out there, but it wasn't meant to be. The FS is pretty good, but it helps to have some basic knowledge of flying an airplane. Eisboch |

Eisboch I've got Microsoft Flight Simulater X. It's a really fun program, especially if you have enough computing power to run everything in full scenery mode. |

I have always been a fan of the Flight Simulator, used to take long flights overnight while running other programs and doing other work.. Thank God for autopilot One of my favorite flights was from JFK or Bradley to Logan, I also used to do a lot of flying around San Fran and the bay. I havn't checked yet but in my old program there was a neat "Easter Egg". If you flew out of New York and around behind the Statue of Liberty, the programmers had it as a big cardboard cutout with a stick holding it up from the back.. Did you ever catch that? |

I'm having a hard time with the VFR flight on a 747 from Las Vegas to Area 51. I can get there okay, but finding just the right spot to park, thus ending the mission, hasn't happened yet! And I love flying the DC-3!!! |
