Here's my take on the civilian flightsim hobby as it currently stands: More than ever, it is a period of transition and I believe the future looks good. I have and use both FSX and X-Plane and therefore have a foot in both camps. It's a case of fully realized capabilities versus future potential. From another perspective I see one nearing the end of...

There is a lot to learn and a great community backing this product. While you can set everything up to be off the ground in seconds it leaves the option to...
This game is meant to be a full simulation of flight, and in no way is a simulation "game". After this past weekend and around 10 hours playtime, probably only 5 which were spent in the sky, I feel like I could legitimately fly a Cessna 172. I honestly don't believe I would fly highly efficiently, but yes I could get off the ground and land. You NEED...
