Any flight simulator fans?

Latley, I've been tooling around with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, and decided to take some screen shots for aviation buffs among us

I'm working on installing some warbirds into the program, to make it a little more interesting.

I'm currently on the adventure flying a Lear 45 around the globe

Here are some pics of my latest leg, from Lajes AB to Lisbon Portugal....

Rats! I got the pics backwards, and they are kinda fuzzy. Oh well, something to work on for next time:) I probably need to crop more....

i used to be on the microsoft combat flight simulator phil, good fun. i just dont have the time spend on it lately. mine was one of the early programmes, yours looks a lot more sophisticated. they are very addictive, arent they!

I don't really have the time as well.....As soon as a get to cruise altitude, I set the autopilot, and set the simulation rate to 8x

In this latest version, you can download a weather snapshot of current conditions in the real world, which makes things interesting. I didn't know that there was a tropical depression building in my way.....so that made things a little bumpy :eek:

I used to be into flight sims more than now, have 14 of them. And like Joe, flew online against other people online, and it is a lot of fun and addictive.

There doesn't seem to be any new ones released lately, just a lot of add-ons for the ones we have. And my joystick is still in a box in the garage... somewhere.
