The learning curve here, you absolutely, positively have to buy a book that will instruct you on how to best utilize this quote/unquote "game." I did not purchase this for gaming purposes.
I bought two books on how to use MS FSX... so far, I like it quite a bit. Not being a gamer, but instead learning to fly airplanes I'm still trying to figure the two out. I don't know if it's MS FSX or the joystick, but when I intend to pitch up, moving the joystick back, which logically to me would be the equivalent of applying back pressure, (pulling back on a yoke) thus the nose of the plane would ideally point upward, away from the ground. Instead, the opposite occurs.
I want the nose to point up when I pull back, point down when I push forward.
Hopefully, this can be re-programmed. This takes a pretty long time to load. It is more than 13 GB. (Thirteen) The newer, faster, better graphics your PC has the better, (surprise, surpise.) Myself, I set up a practice flight with relative ease, but I can't get the plane to do anything else at this point. There's no response to any given action but the Esc key to leave the program. I can't get the plane to do anything yet. It won't move.
I can get an ATIS report, so that's pretty cool. Good practice. But now, I have to reference one of the books, purchased separately, to find out what to do now.
It looks as though it promises to be pretty good. It's fairly inexpensive. I would buy it if I didn't already own it. Come to think of it. I do have more than one computer. So, maybe, just maybe I'll see how this goes and perhaps buy another copy. The software does have to be authorized, and just how limited it is in use should a user put the same disc from the same package onto a second computer?
I'll never know unless someone writes about it and I happen to see it, or if someone tells me. I'm not gonna bother. It's not that expensive, and loading is time consuming, it might be against the law; I'm not gonna mess with that.
So far I'm happy with this. Personally, if you want to use this as a training aid, you can't go wrong BUt be advised, on top of anything or everything else, the learning curve can be steep. Lots of factors and variables. Good luck. I hope this has been useful to you in your decision making.
