Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Hello, it's been awhile now I didn't make new posts.

No one talked about SW KotOR, so maybe my favorite games are not too famous around here, or maybe you guys really just love TS :) hehe.

But I'll risk another one, this. Are there any fans of MS Flight Simulator in here ? What's your favourite version ? Skill level ? Anything you want to say about it, really :).

byes !!!

I have FS2004 and FSX. I haven't had the chance to install it, but I just like free flight and trying to land planes at famous airports :p

Hey Josh, you might want to add "MFSX Acceleration - Expansion Pack", the first (and only for now) expansion EVER in Flight Simulator history. It adds three new aircraft, including a Boeing F/A-18, and a new take off/landing simulation, with this plane on an aircraft carrier, with a catapult and all. :) Plus, it adds more missions.

I have FS2000 standard (with a patch created by myself to turn it into pro), 2002 pro, 2004 and X Deluxe Edition, but I still use the 2004 version more, because of the payware add-ons, like real-world traffic with real-world airlines.

But what I'm enjoying the most lately is the new "Missions" system, of FSX, which adds whole new possibilities to the world. You can deliver apples in resorts located in a mountain area where it's always snowy and then you have to return to your departure location with just one engine, you can fly soldiers to the area 51 "in a flight that never occurred" with an airline that "doesn't exist", hehehe, well, there's much to do with the missions. You can even perform Oshkosh stunts in some of them, like landing on a school bus, racing a jet truck, or racing a redbull racing course. The new EP adds also the Reno races, with WWII aircraft with more than double the original horsepower.

Despite mentioning the F/A-18 and the WWII airplanes from the races in Reno, I want to state that my favorites are the civil airplanes, no doubt. I don't really love anything that is war related, or at least the focus of my admiration/appreciation is never from that point of view (like the internet itself). But for the simulation, some of them are really fun to fly. In my real-world traffic, however, I don't add any non-civil models.

My other new hobby is finally learning how to use paint programs to do textures for the simulator. I'm starting with carenado's C-182 RG II, but I still don't know how to layer the texture (cut it, to be more precise, and then use the cuttings for the layers). A friend is taughting me, and he did only the cuts. The painting and stickers and everything else I did, so I already have two textures. Maybe I'll post them here later.

That's it for now, see ya !!!
