  1. You have reached the end of the internet. Is this the oldest FS file? 30 years old. Computer archaeology. I'm almost tempted to look for a FS4 emulator and try it out.
  2. Wow. There is so much to explore in FSX. Beyond the obvious ATC-NAV-proceedural type flying. Airshow routines- from solo and formation(multiplayer) military displays, aerobatics, civvie solo aerobatics. Air tanker operations, solo and MP. Sub-orbital boost-glide flights over inter contenental distances-no engine after inital boost to altitude. Go from Canaveral AFS and try to hit Wake Island. A variation is Suborbital bomber- same same except drop a nuke on the xring and get back home. Military training regimes, modern and historical- navigation exercises, agent insertion, tactical and strategic ordinance delivery , Time on target competitions, interception exercises, training senario's like oil burner sorties,AAR exercises, Recce exercises, ASW, SAR,EEZ and fisheries patrol with addons like Veitnam war project, oilburner routes, NAS Fallon(ranges) ,Iraq MDC, Solomon islands 1943, Chichijima, Ians dark corner UK ETO, SEA sceneries, FSX freeware weapons packs. Various aircraft carriers and warship packages enable naval operations for USN, IJN, RN, RFN, and AVMF from first world war to OIF. Solo and MP. All of the above in numerious combinations for what if scenarios- Luft46, Olympic-Coronet 46-47, DROPSHOT NATO-WARPAC scenarios from the '50's. Obscure epic flights . One of my favorites is Peter Hogg and Ronald Edelsten's 1934 trip in a war-surplus Bristol F.2B with a handful of AA(roadmaps) maps,inoperative wet compass, wrist watch, and dead reckoning — destination Baghdad. Spare fuel carried in gallon cans and decanted through a biscut tin and chamios into the main tank from the rear cockpit in flight! Aug-10-1934: Witney - Gravesend (forced down by bad weather) Aug-11-1934: Gravesend - Brussels - Frankfurt - Munich. Aug-12-1934: Munich - Vienna - Budapest. Aug-13-1934: Budapest - Belgrade. Aug-14-1934: Belgrade - Sofia (forced down by bad weather) Aug-15-1934: Sofia - Philippopolis (Now Plovdiv) - Istanbul. Aug-16-1934: Istanbul - Eskisehir - Konia - Adana. (All in Turkey) Aug-17-1934: Adana - Musulmei (Aleppo,Syria). Landed on wrong airfield, Flat tyre from running over Camelseed pod thorns. repaired with help of Armee'd air fitters, followed by a night of elbow bending in the Mess at Musulmei. Aug-18-1934: Musulmei - Deir ez-Zor (Syria). Wrong fuel delayed flight. Aug-19-1934: Deir ez-Zor - Baghdad. Stayed in Baghdad from August 20th to September 5th, where the boys performed a near total tear-down and overhaul of the old Brisfit with help from the RAF fitters and riggers at the Baghdad station. Sep-5-1934: Baghdad - Hinaidi (no longer exists) - Rutbah Wells (no longer exists) - Amman (Jordan). Sep-6-1934: Amman - Gaza - Ismailia (Egypt). Sep-7-1934: Ismailia - Cairo. Sep-8-1934: Cairo - Mersa Matruh. Sep-9-1934: Mersa Matruh - Tobruk - Benghazi (Libya). Sep-10-1934: Benghazi - El Agheila - Sirte. Sep-11-1934: Sirte - Tripoli - Gabez - Tunis (Tunisia). Sep-12-1934: Tunis - Palermo - Praia - Naples. Sep-14-1934 Naples - Rome - Pisa - Cannes - Marseilles. Sep-15-1934: Marseilles - Lyons - Dijon. Sep-16-1934: Dijon - Paris (Le Bourget) - Calais - St. Inglevert (Cap Gris Nez) forced down to wait out thunderstorm. Sep-17-1934: St. Inglevert - Lymphe - Croydon - Heston - Whitney. And on and on. The fantastic thing about FSX is the open source, highly configurable nature of the program, and the mountains of add-ons. If you can imagine it, there is usually a way to make it happen.. How can one be bored.
