Microsoft Flight Simulator X

[laura_seabrook]

As a last gasp of indulgence, I bought a marked down copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator X (with expansion pack).

   

Haven't played this since, well Version 1! Now that was really basic, as I played it on a TRS-80 clone (it was subLogic back then). Golly - those were the days (early 80s, I had my System-80 in '79)! Always wanted to get back to this some day, and decided it was now. I tried an open source flight simulator but um, well I always wanted the MS one. There were also a couple of Combat versions in the discount bin, but I've never been keen on dogfight - I just want to fly my plane. Don't know if it will run smoothly on either of my PCs, and I may wait until I add a TB drive to one of them before installing it.

Now one day I also hope to find a decent yacht racing simulator (loved the idea ever since playing the board game Regatta,  , a Motor Bike Racing simulator (I already have some GTR versions for car racing) and a skating simulator (I skated poorly in Real life, but always wanted to stunt skate on roller blades or boards).
