Flight Simulation

As suggested by Pabs...

Who is into it and what are you running?  :pok:

I have FS9 but I haven't reloaded all my sceneries and aircraft since upgrading my PC a couple of years ago so haven't been playing it.

I have FSX and Orbx Ireland running on a laptop with integrated graphics. ::) It's nice to have accurate rivers and towns where they should be, but I'm disappointed that it's not photorealistic down to the neighborhood level. :cry:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

I'm running both Prepar3D and X-Plane 11, pro's and cons to both of them.

I'm running them on a pretty powerful PC and Prepar3d can still bring it to it's knees!

Nice! :tu:
In 2020, I'll have to make a decision; Buy a desktop and:
Stick with FSX with add-ons
Or go X-Plane 11
Or go Microsoft Flight 2020
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

X-plane 11 (or is it 10?  :think:) here too. Not flown it recently - what bugs me is the only semi photo realism and iffy scaling of the scenery as I'd like to be able to recognise where I fly (down to specific buildings). The (simpler) planes I've tried fly well, though. The helo was a disaster - for me, that is, and I blame this squarely on my, er, lack of experience.

Looking forward to MS Flight 2020...
Cheers!

My phone has x-plane 10 installed. :D
It seems to be pretty simplistic compared to what I've heard about x-plane 11

End of year 50% sale on Orbx scenery! :ahhh

I should be saving up for MS Flight 2020, but I want to buy the HD Trees and HD Buildings add-ons. :facepalm:
