MS Flight Sim X

First let me say I don't live in France.

I just loaded up the newest version of MSFS ( X ) and I must saw I've
very impressed. The graphics are tremendous and the plane handling is
much better then I remember from before. I must say I've improved my
computer significantly since I last used FS 2004 but still I think this
new one is very good.

Jay - I recommend you upgrade your system at the hotel to this version
if you have not already. I think you'll be impressed.

Make sure you have enough hardware to support it; it uses a lot more
resources than its predecessor (FS 2004). Most of the improvements
are eye candy, although that might make it more fun for many people.

IIRC you never bothered to complete the flight lessons in MSFS and
haven't yet achieved the proficiency to climb to altitude and level off
without porpoising... and have never flown a real aircraft for a single
second Therefore, any opinions you might have of MSFS X are moot.

AFAICT you simply fond of masturbating your keyboard with the end
result being projectile diarrhea. I don't believe I have ever had the
misfortune of meeting a person more intellectually lazy than yourself,
to wit: "In a true glider, you can stay up indefinitely by taking
advantage of things like thermals."

You seem to be an exceptionally ignorant idiot sans any power of
deduction/search skills/restraint toward forwarding any and every
idiotic question/premise that pops into your "mind".

That seems a little harsh.

Do I have to have stormed Omaha Beach to know whether Battlefield 1942 is a
good first-person shooter? Do I have to have flown combat missions over
Germany to know whether I liked the movie Memphis Belle?

His comment about having enough system resources to run it compared to 2004
is useful in my decision whether to upgrade.

Then this comment may save your life: Don't fly into a thunderstorm.

You're welcome.

Doesn't his comment's usefulness depend on whether it's true? He doesn't say
how he reached his conclusion; he has not mentioned trying FSX himself. I
have, and it works fine on my three-year-old PC. Other reports are mixed.
But why not find out for yourself? There's a free demo you can download to

I still have problems with that in MSFS too. I also can't land on the
runway (or at least stay on the runway) and can't even line up with the
runway w/o a 10 mile final and an ILS.

Then why use it?

If you see Falcon 4.0 for sale, just keep walkin'...
