I think Derek posted this site for our enjoyment a few days ago.
http://164.214.2.62/products/digitalaero/terminals/v0202/PACIFIC_AUSTRALA=
SIA_ANTARCTICA/=20
I looked and couldnt find the info on my home city Sydney Kingsford =
Smith International Airport. I live relatively close to the flight =
path...would love to find out how they do take off and landing there. =
Does anyone have info for that?
While the timing is perfect. I am being taught how to fly SID and STAR =
using instrucments only in my virtual fighter squad using F4Sp2...and =
amazingly it does work. I said to my friend who was teaching me..."I =
feel like I am flying a heavy looking at all the instrucments rather =
than using visual cue on my HUD". This and along with a chat with a few =
friends who play FS2k2 and own "virtual airlines" shown me the =
"whazzup" software by one of this group's member. I was truely amazed by =
the level of sophistication, human ATC interaction, and flying not alone =
but with many other pilots on the same server in the sky around the =
world (previously, i thought FS2k is single player sim).
Suddenly, I realise flying heavies can actually be fun :) . Previously, =
I can only fly jets that has weapons on them...I guess I have entered =
staged two of my flightsim addiction....soon I will be terminally ill =
and stop respond to treatment to stop me glued inside the cockpit! LOL=20
Also, I would love to get some opinion on Xplane and FS2k2. I want to =
buy one or the other. Read the info on each site, they both look very =
impressive and heaps of add on coming from third party. I downloaded the =
Xplane demo, but my video card can do open GL so that was no go...so I =
am leaning towards MS FS for now.
Cheers,
Albert
Sydney, Australia
