QUOTE The biggest difference between a video game and a simulator? Realism. Video games are
meant to entertain, after all. Simulators, on the other hand, are usually educational tools. A few
games, however, manage to do a bit of both. Flight Simulator X is a good example: it’s not
only fun, you just might learn something. The vast scope of this Microsoft game will overwhelm at
first, especially if you’ve never played a flight simulator before. This latest version in
the venerable 25-year-old franchise packs a dizzying array of features: there are mor...

I just stumbled upon a game called 'X-Plane'. I don't have it but it looks awesome. It
is a flight simulator game which when fully updated exceeds 80GB (Yes, eighty gigabytes). It has the
terrain of the whole world, and guess what? It's free too, and guess what again? It's on
linux too. well, here is the game's official website http://www.x-plane.com/ The full game is
too large to download, so you'll have to order the DVDs NOTE: The full game is less than 60GB,
but the fully updated full game can exceed 80GB NOTE: You require a Joystick to p...

Microsoft flight simulator 2004: Century of flight is really cool flying simulator. try it. If you
are a good pilot and have good joystick it will be a superb sim. You can download many cities and
updates like that. For example I've recently downloaded MIG 31 (It's really fast plane ~3.3
Mach). The graphics is cool and so on....

Well I know this is a game made in I think 1999 or 2000. I just want to know if anyone has played
it. I went to an aviation museum in Tennessee while I was up there last week and in there they had
a screen and a joystick in which you could play this game. I thought it was pretty cool and found
it on amazon.com for $15 to buy for the PC. What do you all think of this game? Are there any
newer Combat Flight Simulators out by Microsoft?...

Hi all simulator lovers. I am here because it is my intention to share all the unforgettable
experiences I have had with one of the best simulators I have run into in my life. /smile.gif'

Simulator" I cannot post links here, but a fast search will lead you to this magnificent master
piece of software by Dr. Martin Schweiger. Which, besides all the superb graphics, and realistic
orbital mechanics simulation, is FREEWARE!!! Orbiter has been available since the year
