Does anyone know if Flight Unlimited 3 is available any where and if it
will run on Windows XL?

Thank you.

Jake

You decided to go for FU3 rather than FU2 then? (your earlier thread).


I have both FU1 and FU2, but as I said earlier I can't get either to run

on
XL. I do have a machine that my wife uses currently which has 98 on it

and
which she won't be using begining soon. So I will put the FU1&2 on it and
if I can get FU3 at a reasonable price will put it on my XL machine.
Everyone knows that a man can't have too many toys and I have also decided
to forgo buying another real airplane and will probably buy a condo in
Spain or Mexico. The kind of flying I used to do is probably better done

a
simulator at my age anyway.

As I said before Flight Unlimited 1 did the best job of any PC based
simulator for acrobatics that I have tried. If there is a better one I
would like to try it. FU2 wasn't quite as good as one, but you could
practice your formation flying with the airliners. I don't know much

about
FU3 as far as flying realism, however.

I hope one day another company will take over the FU software and come out
with some new ones or someone else will come up with a realistic

simulator.
The processing power is available in todays PCs, I just wonder if there

are
enough people out there whot like to do the kind of flying that I do to
make it commercially worth while. At one time I got so unhappy with the
way that the simulators flew that i designed my own, at least the
aerodynamics part, but never got beyond that.
