Hello! Someone directed me here! Sorry, I may be a whizz with a 737, 747 or 757, but 'puters have me tearing my little remaining hair out! I greatly enjoyed one of the early sims, can't remember its name, but it was made by 'Looking Glass Technologies'. I liked the glider. Used to do some military sims- it was great fun shooting engines off big transports one by one. Then I got quite deep into Ilyushin2. I liked being a Stuka pilot. That was brilliant. But I could never get MS Flightsim to work satisfactorily- maybe it was crap! I thought the graphics were rubbish and it was totally unreal. Maybe that's why they've all been canned. I was always 'behind the curve' with the latest desktops to run these things (always slow upgrading because I was always away and never had much time- Mrs Rainboe always rude about computers- women don't like the competition for attention!). So sorry, I can help with the real thang, but not really computer planes. A magazine called PC Pilot may help you. But I do know the gear you use it on must be pretty good. One day I have promised myself one of those triple screen double graphics card arrangements!
