Glad you enjoy flight simulation and your bad experience with FS9 didn't put you off. If you require help with anything, just ask one of the members of this forum. They probably encountered some of the things you do and can fix them. Most are more than happy to help!

 

Welcome to FlightSim.com, hope you enjoy it here!

kin3,

 

You're likely to find that Flight Simulator becomes an expanding universe for you. You can look forward to many years of discovering new ways to enjoy the sim, and of learning about aviation.

 

If you don't mind my asking, what's your real world occupation? Or are you retired like me?

Yes I am a retired railroader. I was a software developer/programmer. I worked on payroll systems. Some I wrote and later I supported an Oracle payroll application before I retired.

 

I built this machine with FSX in mind, along with some other games. I play Call of Duty 4 quite a lot on the http://www.tacticalgamer.com/

site and I play an occasional game of CIV4.

 

Last night I got into an F16 and flew high and fast west to Houston and then Austin, TX and had to land for fuel. I enjoyed that and will continue that to San Francisco at least. I just like to put the AP on and enjoy the scenery. I'm getting better at flying everyday.

 

Well enough for now.:D

What kind of aircraft do you fly?

Recently I've been flying the new twin engine Cessna 310 and the Howard 500. I like to fly the Learjet sometimes and just play around with the Jenny. I tried the F16 just to try a jet fighter and see what that is like.
