Will future subsims be called simssubs?

A similar dichotomy exists in the world of flight sims: there are purists who will always want to start their aircraft 'cold and dark', conducting all of the preliminary checks just as a real pilot does, before taking off with a fully worked up flight plan to spend hours at the controls, 'flying' their computer in real time to Tokyo or someplace over a photo-realistic world. They have many software developers giving them just what they want, in the form of sim aircraft almost complete in every detail, but these aircraft can usually also be flown on a dumbed-down setting by those of us who don't have hours and hours to spare and who just want to jump in and take off with a minimum of preparation and knowledge.

Thanks, Aktung.

PC Pilot magazine is the one to get if you're into all this; they publish flight plans, navigation tutorials, Virtual Airline news etc. with a CD Rom on the cover usually containing demos and freeware.

And you can buy software which loads worldwide scheduled AI traffic into your sim, something you would have to have if you were taking your Civil flying this seriously.

I just like to jump into a plane with guns in it and blow stuff up, but I am shallow like that (PC Pilot does also feature the latest for combat sims like Rise of Flight and DCS World, however).
