377288	2005-08-02 11:33:00	Read this. forums.flightsim.com I'm probibly a bit hastie in saying 2006 for the release, but I don't think it well be this month, no one really knows when it well be released, everyone is just speculating. FS 2004 was a rush release to get it out in time for 100 years of flying ( the Wright Brothers Flight), hence the name A Century Of Flight. Trevor :)	Trev (427)

Trevor :) I read somewhere that 2006 will be in 2006 - MS was at some game conference int he States(?) where they dropped this bit of news. Too late in the evening to look it up now. Besides, I've got Dungeon Siege 2 (gold) right now and the folks at MS made no mention of FS 2006 when I was on the scrounge for that, so I'd say it's highly unlikely that 2006 is due this year.

377290	2005-08-03 01:10:00	. 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. Trevor :) sounds interesting Trev :) have they worked on the flight model at all ? I have FS2002 and the physics tend to be pretty dumbed down IMO Pete	Organicpete (133)
377291	2005-08-03 01:30:00	sounds interesting Trev :) have they worked on the flight model at all ? I have FS2002 and the physics tend to be pretty dumbed down IMO Pete Try X-Plane if you want more accurate simulation. www.x-plane.com	Safari (3993)

I have FS2002 and the physics tend to be pretty dumbed down IMO Pete Having done a bit of real world flying, for $120 the flight physics seem pretty good to me. Sure there are some limitations, but you are going to get that in any Flight Sim. Trevor :)	Trev (427)
377293	2005-08-03 05:44:00	I agree with Trev. Flight Physics are realy outstanding for a cheap simulator.	JJJJJ (528)
377294	2005-08-03 11:21:00	What controllers do you people all use? *cough* What of the cheaper joysticks do you lot recommend. Wanting something which will be suitable for other games as well (mainly racing games). I used to have a Sidewinder Precision Pro2 at one stage, but got rid of it when someone was wanting one and I needed some money.	Jeremy (1197)
377295	2005-08-03 12:13:00	I use a Genius F23 USB. About $30 from Noel Leeming. Does the job with no fuss, throttle, rudder, 4 buttons on base, hat switch, and 4 buttons on stick. Easy to configure for FS (flaps, gear, brakes, reverse thrust, views etc). Used to have a Saitek but it had a stiff spring system that the kids now use. BTW you dont need the disc in to play the game, there's readily available no cd fix.	Jester (13)

I used to have a Sidewinder Precision Pro2 at one stage, but got rid of it when someone was wanting one and I needed some money. I personaly prefer the "Logitech extreme 3d pro". I tried a Thrustmaster and didn't like it so took it back and swaped it for a logitech. They have all the controls you need and they work well. About $90	JJJJJ (528)
