There were other very complex addons such as weather generators that took years of development and worked on complex algorithms. I regard the MSFS platform as a base engine. It was the 3rd party development that really added the complexity and realism. MSFS is used by real pilots (recreational and commercial) and flight schools, large and small. One of the guys that provided me with pics for my Calgary scenery is a WestJet captain and he uses it to keep current on instrument flying between flights. A couple of my buddies that used MSFS were given two hours at a Flight Safety center in a real Boeing simulator and they successfully completed all phases of flight. Apparently the simulator operators were quite impressed and even threw in a few mechanical failures that the guys handled without incident. I think most copies of MSFS sold ended up on shelves collecting dust as long-term engagement in the program required a significant investment in learning. So is it a flight 'simulator'? Yes, Is it a video game? Also, Yes. LOL.

Another one I like, though haven't played lately, is Euro Truck Simulator. In fact I bought a gaming machine specifically for it. My son loves it too and he gets to see the European landscapes - geography lesson included.

you will probably want to get a new video card in a year or two. i'd let them get in a generation or 2 on this new RTX before i'd buy one. IMO. the GTX one's are pretty well priced now. i got the 1060 OC 6GB for like $200. |

I'm actually kind of digging the unfinished 'street-racer' look! I installed some front/rear LEDs and left out the windows to get the battery wires through(plus I smoked the lenses too much-rookie mistake- and couldn't see all the work I did on the interior). Started painting the smaller bits of a 300zx yesterday and will post pics when I have more to show. Thanks for the compliments! |

Simply stunning! Really looking forward to the finished product. Bravo! The detail and care in assembly is truly impressive. Such a far cry from the cars and WW2 fighters and bombers I assembled as a kid.

What do you play? I recently got a new laptop and have been playing some classic Lucas Arts and Sierra games from my childhood on steam.

I fly electric airplanes, I learned from a 1400mm wing span Cessna, which I still have and in one piece, and a 70mm twin EDF A-10 Warthog.
I'm also into Monster trucks, I have a shelf queen Juggernaut, and a Clod Buster that I still bash around. I also have two Tamiya TLT-1s. I modified one to up the scale from 1:16 to 1:12. |
