| 377297 | 2005-08-04 09:01:00 | 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?Had a quick play earlier tonight.... with my limited flight time I managed to get a 737 to loop over Tauranga :D Seriously, had a quick play, then downloaded the 75 mesh and was very impressed :D This flight sim requires some serious time (this weekend :D) The fps rate isnt too bad either.... the animation is still pretty smooth |

Yes I cheated. Loaded a 737 over HongKong in level flight which is one of the saved flights which comes with FlightSim 2002. Poured on the power and went up and looped. Got an overspeed warning on the way down and dropped back on the throttle in time for the wings not to fall off or me hitting the water. I doubt if I could get a Sunderland Flying Boat to loop though. I'm sure that was Bruce was referring to in his post. I used to see heaps of those flying out of Evans Bay in Wellington. I'm sure Bruce will correct me if I'm wrong. :-) |

| 377300 | 2005-08-04 10:50:00 | 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 I use a Logitec Force feedback but I think it was about $130. Previously I used a sidewinder precision pro connected to a USB port. I gave it away to a mate running WinXP to replace his sidewinder connected to a game port (Driver issues). We gave his one to a guy running Win98SE. Everyone wins. I really wanted a force feed back but I think that the Microsoft effort was about $300 a while back and there was no way I could justify that at that time. |

| 377301 | 2005-08-04 18:26:00 | The fps rate isnt too bad either.... the animation is still pretty smooth. At present I am running at 14 fps. Locked. Very occasional jerky bits and picture quality is vastly improved. With fps set to unlimited I have a vast deteration in picture quality. Large improvement too when game is played at 1024 x 768. I am dieing to try it on a 19" LCD they seem to be much sharper and brighter than my 19" crt. |

| 377306 | 2005-08-08 23:26:00 | Thanks Jack, Though I don't think I will be needing them now, I'm afraid after a couple of hours of the game I was bored beyond wanting to play it any more. | Metla (12) | ||
