On a better note, here's some screenies showing assorted coasts, lakes and rivers around the country with the upcoming Nz Topographic add-on from Christian Stock.

377278 2005-08-02 03:33:00 Well, I have decided to buy it, I just don't want to find myself resorting to crashing into large objects to relieve the boredom, The screenshots are stunning and I am able to comprehend that people enjoy the game.

Whats the biggest plane capable of doing a loop?

I dunno - but I have a feeling you're going to try and find out. I'll be impressed if you can loop this:

Of course, the thing about FS is that buying it is just the starting point. You end up wasting more time and money "tweaking" it with add-ons.

But then I'll never get to fly this over Wanaka in real life:

Theoreticaly it's possable to loop a 747, but I don't know anyone who's tried it. It's not the size that matters it's whether an aircraft will take the strain without a wing falling off.

I hate you Bruce. After looking at those pictures from around The Sounds I really want to go and grab a new flightsim and joystick and go flying around there and see if any of the landmarks/houses I know are in there.

Never say never Bruce. You just need to save up a bit (or a lot) and you can go down to Wanaka. Then you can take a Pitts or a Mustang (they might have some others as well) for a flight around Wanaka.

377282 2005-08-02 05:51:00 Hmmm, I just had a look around and saw that Flight Sim 2004 is at quite a nice price at Ascent at the moment. I might have to order it.

What controllers do you people all use?

I understand MS Flight Sim 2006 is due out this month.

377285 2005-08-02 06:13:00 Ms Flight Sim 2006 won't be out till next year. At the moment I'm one of 15,000 Flight Simmers from around the world doing a survey for the MS Flight Team. They have sent me software that reports back to them after each time I fly. I also have to make comments good and bad on the flight I have just completed.

377286 2005-08-02 06:17:00 2006?

I done a google for it last time it was mentioned,best I could find was a feature wishlist in a forum, Doesn't seem to me that a new version has even been announced let alone be awaiting release .

Though if someone can confirm the situation I may hold back for 2006 . . . . .
