here too.

I am a fairly large fan of Flight Simulator. I have FS2004 and play it weekly. I have also had FS98 and modded it to the point where it contained almost 100 planes. But FS2004 is a great thing to mess around on if you have some free time or you are just bored.

I also have the full thrustmaster setup so I have all of the pedals and joysitck as well as the throttle adjuster, which makes it even funner to mess around with.

My Dad had FS installed on his machine...not sure what version...had the joystick too.

Unfortunately, I will never become a pilot...I can't even taxi w/o crashing the plane!

All I have is the flightyoke by CH Products. I have quite a few freeware planes downloaded on it, including these:
Airbus:
A340
A380

Boeing:
707-300
727-200/200Adv.
737-200
737-700
747-200

Douglas:
DC-8-21/54F/61/63/71/72
DC-9-30
MD-80

Saab:
340B

Sud-Aviation:
Caravelle

Vickers:
VC-10

You can see, I like the vintage jets most of all.

I've become pretty good with FS98. Never did get the newer versions or download any new planes..............didn't even know you could do this.

But, who can land the 737 in 1/4 mile visibility, 90% of the time, manually of course??

Sure makes the mouth dry and the jewels pull up tight.

Well, I set FS2004 to real world weather and landed a Boeing 727-200 at Destin airport when Hurricane Dennis was making landfall, and I did that manually. I have downloaded these older aircraft that you must fly manually during landing and takeoff instead just pressing some autopilot pilots and autolanding, which can make for some white knuckle flying.

That's a significant achievement. If the winds have serious gusts it's usually an impossible task for me.

Just cannot get the airplane to respond fast enough without an overcorrection.
