FSX (again)

sulky_uk · October 04, 2013, 04:38:29 PM

So after the ARMA game last night a couple of us got talking, and we thought that we could maybe get a game of FSX up using game-spy where we could just have a fly around a certain airport and generally have a f*-*k around.

Haven't a date for it yet but we will keep you informed, please put your name down if you are interested, and with an area you may like to fly at

BTW Sparko Madagascar is rather boring, flew around today and there is neigh much in the way of canyons and interesting things that i could see, and i took the liberty of adding you and Lib as discussed last night

1) Sulky
2) Sparko
3) Lib
4) TL
5) Albert

Cool, I still think we would be better off on vatsim though rather than gamespy, just go somewhere were there isn't any atc active

My joystick broke today, but assuming I have replaced it then I'd be up for it. Still to decide whether to go for the more expensive yoke & pedals or just a joystick - suggestions welcome!

talk to lib as he has a yoke/throttle/rudder set up, i have on of these

Not Windows 8 compatible it seems

I'll go with a joystick though for sure, cost of yokes seems excessive for my limited use. I'll take a browse around the current joystick crop and see what I can find. The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro seems decent?

Count me in guys. I'm pretty new at the Flight Sim stuff. Although I did play IL Sturmovic (spelling error assured) a lot in the day. That was awesome. But I enjoyed the views in FSX.

checkpoint

can i assume your in t?

Sparko · October 09, 2013, 11:32:39 PM

Just a thought, shall we get together at some point at the LAN for half hour to get a flight plan sorted? I'll have it installed

sulky_uk · October 10, 2013, 11:25:40 AM

cant attend sorry, but if we have comms available, ie TS and i can get connected i could "chip "in as well

TeaLeaf · October 10, 2013, 09:41:20 PM

I can install it on the laptop, no idea how it will run.

Bought the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, very happy with it so far. It's incredibly stable and light years away from the old joystick it has just replaced.

I've gone through the first 6 tutorials being new to the game, and found this pure enjoyment, nice call to get back into FSX.

On another front TL, Pebble Beach is now on WGT! For another nice view ;-)

The XBox controller was a bit restrictive, but I thought I better try to use it since I won't be brining my Saitek flight yoke and stick to the LAN.

Trying to do a few more before Thursday.

Hopefully we can get all of us on in the next couple of weeks for a night of flying
