I download normal Lock On and didnt really think it was that good TBH, Graphics didnt look that good and couldnt set the control up!. Is PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies looks good worth a download?.

I got Flight Simulator 2004 and i really liked it. I never used to be a big player of flight sims but 2004 got me going. I am looking forward to Flight Sim X but not sure when thats coming out.

It's an add-on for FS2004 so you'll need to purchase that first. There's a lot more to flight simming than taking off flying around and attempting to land. Learning how to navigate without GPS is probably the most rewarding experience you can acheive. Mastering the systems of individual planes so you can take off from a cold dark state navigate and land is what the sim is all about and the reason why 3rd party add-ons such as the PDMG QOTS exist. It's a totaly different experience from your run of the mill shooters but is potentially more rewardig if you have the time and inclination.

You what? You're actually admitting to downloading an illegal copy of Lock-On? You do now that piracy is wrong don't you? I hope you get a bloody virus and lose your entire hard-drive!

He might have downloaded a Demo or bought it as a download and got given a code ;)

Can you please use another font because that one is hell on the eyes :p
 
Flight Simulator 4 is pretty good, though a bit dated now.
Its always fun trying to see just how far you can get that 747 on 10 gallons per fuel tank. Or if you've actually got the patience to fly into that "mountain" and stick your learjet into it at an amusing angle.

Luke,

The graphics in Lock On rock. I've yet to be shown better graphics in any other simulator. And as it is possible to set controls up, I think the problem is at your end. :P
 
What i used to like doing is put a small amount of fuel in a 747, take off, go some distance and then try to turn around and land before the fuel runs out? Another thing i used to do is i used to fly the 747 under the severn bridge!

Mine was from Amazon ages ago. The Lock On website may be of help. I would also recommend the manual, it speeds up the learning process.

Lol. A bit to rough there ;)
 
IL2 Sturmovik + Aces Expansion Pack + Pacific Fighters (in a merged installation) would get my vote for very realistic physics and good old WW2 action....I don't like all these modern jet games. The multiplayer is also very intense. ;)

I'm playing IL2 Forgotten Battles at the moment and its great fun, I installed LOMAC but it was giving me problems with my joystick and seemed pretty dull :confused:
