The visuals would be trashed by a video gamer players if this is served as an in-game footage in 2022 on PC/consoles. I feel only Gozilla's rendering and movements felt natural. Everything else is pretty bad and unexciting. The city... I think even Microsft Flight Simulator got better models and more "lived-in" than this. Need more realistic filters and more sirens/screaming BGN at the minimum.

Your video, Microsoft Flight Simulator - E3 2019 - Announce Trailer, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I knew this because of Flight Simulator. So at least gaming taught me something.

You said...."1. Nobody can say for certain what the F-35 is capable of or not capable of." then went on to write tomes and tomes about what's it's capable of, most of which has been contradicted by the testing, but you would rather believe what some test pilot said it may be able to do some day in the future if they fix all the problems or what your flight simulator games represented. HA!!!! Good one.

There's a HUGE difference between random vegan's self serving idea of what is and what is not good nutrition and factual historical data about the existence or non-existence of dogfighting since WW1. The cracked.com was simply a follow up entertainment article delineating 5 notable dogfights since WW1.

Smell ya later.

I dunno that there is anything wrong with the train simulator DLC. I'm not personally familiar with it but I think that's comparable to the "DLC" for Flight Simulator X, which if you bought all of it would probably easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars. It's all extra content made by third parties though. That's really the way DLC is supposed to work. It doesn't necessarily have to be created by third parties, but does have to be *new* additional content.

Wasn't it a Korean crew that crashed a 737 at San Francisco? Maybe they need less StarCraft, more Flight Simulator.

As soon as the Occulus Rift is out, I'm buying a gaming PC for FPS, Racing and Flight simulator. God game could also be cool with VR...

It warms the cockles of my black heart to see that people still remember Mech 2 fondly. The tale of its creation is long and bizarre; I may finish writing it down (if I get off my butt someday); it got weird beyond belief before it was all done.

It was accused in the press of feeling like a flight simulator, which is funny because that's what it was. I re-used the overall software design from a (real) flight simulator I wrote for my previous aerospace-type job.

Activision was huge fun when it was tiny. My license plate still reads MECH2.

Thanks, all.

LOL- I was just going to say that's how I landed every plane in MS Flight Simulator

That's how I do it in nearly every flight simulator game I've played.

>> ^Quboid:

My brother, a hobby pilot, used to do landings like this time after time in MS Flight Simulator X. They've good for testing your navigation skills and using the instruments. I tried a few too, I found VFR flying in real to be much easier than IFR in FSX.


That is not unlike real life. Looking out of window at 20k at 400 miles per hour isn't exactly telling at times, even without cloud cover. Only on an approach you have done dozens of times in the same conditions will the "look" of a particular landing be helpful. This isn't unlike most areas of life, things you don't do often, how they look isn't very useful, now a checklist...that is useful no matter how many times! This is why all aspects of planes and checklist based. For any given day you might be on several different planes on a large variety of different airports. That isn't always the case, many times they get similar kinds of routes over and over with the same equipment, but that does change from time to time.

From my extensive PC flight simulator experience, I would say the most likely scenario is that the pilot's cat jumped up into his lap just as he was about to touch down.
