Guest RayRoocroft Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 i went off flight sim around 2004, as doing the same thing every couple of years got a bit boring! the only thing I can see is graphical improvement but you may be able to tell me otherwise If you want a real flightsim, go for falcon 4: allied assault.

jake supra Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Iv got simulator x on my PC very realistic. You do need a up to date PC and graphics card to run it smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Sorry to bump this up but what control thingy would you use with a PC for a flight simulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If you want the full experience, buy a flight yoke with throttle unit but i find a good joystick is pretty much as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Rendar Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I think FSX is pretty awesome. But I also concur that you can't beat a beat of Tie Fighter... Or maybe some Wing Commander Prophecy. Anyway, I would highly recommend the Thrustmaster HOTAS. It's a combined throttle and stick, with 10 buttons and a hat switch, and the stick twists which is typically used for rudder control. But the best bit... It's under £40!!! I've got one and I think it's absolutely awesome. It's certainly not cheap and tacky (like a lot of Saiteks); it's a really sturdy, heavy-duty bit of kit. You can separate the throttle and stick, but I tend to leave the components together. The controls are easy to setup in FSX. I use it for various combat flight sims too. Comparable bits of kit by other manufacturers will set you back well over £100, so I think this is incredible value for money. Honestly, you can't go wrong with one of these.

Snooze Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I believe Flight Sim X will also be the last one in the series. I seem to recall a Microsoft announcing they were stopping development on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
