Microsoft Flight Simulator X

[Acadia]

It is pretty subjective. I much prefer FS9 to X-Plane. X-Plane always feels buggy and rough around the edges and I have not seen much improvement over the years. I have also added some nice commercial add-ons for FS9 that nothing in X-Plane can touch.

[FONT=&quot]Both are games and both serve a similar value for instrument stuff so take your pick and have at it.[/FONT]

I'm stoked...I barely play the thing anymore, but Ive had every version of Flightsim since 5.0 Its always fun to be able to fly planes under bridges, and make a cessna roll

Flightsim used to be lots of more fun. I remember doing flight after flight online with other people and it was a blast. I lost lots of interest in the game, to the point where I might load it up once a month and takeoff with some random aircraft and then quit.

Maybe I'm the weirdo here - I play Flight Sim at least once every single day!!!

Been flying with the FeelThere ERJ-145 lately - nice add-on, good FMS and pretty cool flight dynamics!!

Before all the Regional pilots kick in to tell me how unrealistic it is, remember: If I wanted to fly a real ERJ, I'd go to an airline! I like the game because it's fun!!

That's pretty sweet, but I think that would make my computer melt

Get a new one. We know pilots make hundreds of thousands a year!

So you don't want to go for the airlines? What do you intend to do after CFIing?

Who knows - definately not this week!!! Why would I want to take a pay cut, not be the PIC, AND wonder if I'll have a job in a month??

What do you intend to do after CFIing?

Maybe I'll CFI forever - or maybe I'll get into Freight - who knows. Ask me again in a week or two (ahem . . .).
