FSX (click the thumbs, then click the pic again for full 1920x1080 size)

F/A-18 at Oahu:

Bombing run over Macho Grande. Errr... Reno:

Still not sure if it's okay to post 1920x1080 pics in their entirety. Read through a bunch of various forum rules but couldn't find the specific stated max size. Adult ADD ftl...

Better use thumbnails for such a big resolution, I for example, have a tiny 17" monitor.

I have to settle for just my little 24" wide screen, so I know how you feel

Awww, just an 24" and a widescreen too.. poor you.

SHUT UP!

Foggy · 09-03-10, 10:09 AM

My wife told me I should try using the 40" Sony Bravia we have as a monitor sometime (it has the same native rez as my Samsung 24") but I'm afraid that if I do I'll get used to it and want to keep it in there, and my 24" will look small when I go back to it lol.

Then again, my wife might be telling me to do that because she wants my 24" monitor so she can have a triple monitor setup...

Dowly · 09-03-10, 10:15 AM

Well jeez, make a deal with her. She gets the 24" to have the triple setup and you take the 40" in return (dont forget to mention that she can't change her mind later on

).

I've been thinking of perhaps getting it some day.

I know it's a post from a while ago, but just a little heads-up - simware simulations (simw.com) has the E-Jets on sale for under 20 bucks today. Do recommend

CCIP · 09-11-10, 12:19 AM

And just so I'm not only spamming here, here's a few pics of my new acquisition.

(Jet is the Lineage business jet version of the E-Jets, skin is user-made)

All in all, the E-Jets live up to Wilco's ERJ. Between the two, I would have to say that the ERJ v2 has a nicer VC and a few other functionalities I prefer; however the E-Jets so far I found both more stable and better-performing. As expected, the two are VERY similar and you can pretty much fly the E-Jets out of the box if you know how to fly the ERJ. There are only a few minor differences, which are easily found and managed. E-Jets are a lot easier to fly thanks to the VNAV functions.

One from me attempting to glide for Switzerland to Italy over the Alps.

Just a couple questions for you guys. As far as what games these all are, I have FSX but Id like to know what game is the one I see with the screens of the Ka-50 (Black shark is it??) and if you can fly other helos in that sim. Which sim is the one that I see that has all the WWII Planes in it that Im seeing, I would love something like that, and what sim is it that has the WWI planes also?? If it is FSX with added mods, I more or less want a true Combat Flight sim, I had Comanche back in the day and loved it

along with FS 98 (Old school

)

And secondly, if I get a computer to handle FSX on full (I can get it on all Medium with good FPS but I want something that can show the game off before I play it that way I can enjoy the scenerey) Id like to know if any one could teach me some of the basics for getting out of situations and stuff, as well as landing/ communicating with the tower etc. Because the base games tutorials were HORRIBLE. at least to me :P

Thanks guys

WWII is probably IL-2 and WWI is most likely Rise of Flight.

Which screenshots are you referring to specifically?

09-30-10, 01:49 PM

The WWI picture is on this page and the KA-50 Pic is on the next page (with the WWII looking pics right below it) What I liked about that WWII looking sim was that it modeled damage pretty realistically (I saw a few pages back a plane that should barely be able to fly because it had huge gaps in its wings and such.
