767 Pilot in Command |
|
Civilian sims too tame and simplistic for a swaggering BSD hardcore combat simmer like yourself? Need a real challenge to make a*s & trash haulers exciting?
Wilco Publishing's 767 Pilot in Command has your white knuckles here, baby. Bob "Groucho" Marks is your Captain Speaking as he determines whether the next hop will be just another day at the office or a NTSB statistic.

Extraordinary X-Plane |
|
Are guilty of stating "I don't care about eye candy, I want REAL flight dynamics." Well, buck-o, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Bob "Groucho" Marks takes Laminar Reseach's X-Plane for a spin (and a chandelle and roll or two) and reports that one guy alone can build one heck of a simulator.

Airport 2000 Volume 2 |
|
With tough competition like Fly!2K and the lamented Flight Unlimited III, civsimmers loyal to Microsoft's Flight Sim 2000 have been looking for ways to increase immersion and realism. Wilco's Airport 2000 Vol. 2 is a stab at getting to that next plateau. Bob "Groucho" Marks steps away from his Falcon long enough to tell us why this is one Airport that should be avoided...

This match-up has taken only 5 rounds to come to a decision, not because each simulator has a lot of features that needed months of investigation, but because I had to change the way I scored the fight. After spending over one month with each product, I have come to a remarkable conclusion on Fly!, Flight UnlimitedIII, and Flight Simulator 2000

By Bob "Groucho" Marks Fly!
|
|
I have blown far too many hours lately on Fly- hours that could have been better spent honing my Falcon weapons juggling techniques. That's not to say that I'm hanging up my g-suit for good, or that Fly is perfect- no way Jose`- but I think it conveys the complexities of modern aviation better than most of the code out there.

We really wanted to create a flight simulator that gave each user the true joy and sensation of flight in the most realistic environment
available. We are creating a simulator that will challenge the hard core
user and be easy enough for the casual computer user.

There are flight Sims and there are FLIGHT Sims. This Sim is a gem, a real little jewel, that just happens to have big plans. Thanks to it's author, one man from Italy, all of us Simming and flying addicts can experience the simplest, purest type of flight available to mankind to date (short of Icarus and his wax wings).. hang gliding.

Air Combat T r a i n i n g
by David Lian Understanding Spins
|
|
You're on your first solo stall. Power is back to idle. Nose and wings are level while speed bleeds away. You feel elevator buffetting through the stick as the stall warning sounds. The nose will drop very soon and you'll recover from the stall. Piece of cake. Except there's one small problem. While busy holding the nose and wings level, you somehow missed a developing yaw and rested some weight on the left pedal. The nose drops and the left wing flicks down viciously. Help!

Flight Sim Review
By Neil Mouneimne Flight Unlimited II
|
 |
Flight Unlimited 2 is a completely different kind of game from its predecessor. This one clearly goes after the popular civil aviation genre that has always done very well, but has suffered for a lack of anything but the most incremental of improvements over the years.
