Flight sim, should i order this? * 1
    #26631329 - 04/27/20 04:11 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)



I been flying x plane 10 for years but stopped a year ago.

Was thinking of getting x plane 11 and this yoke.

I already got top of the renge joystic - a stick. Which is good for flying airbuses but u need a yoke to fly Boeings

Should i get this yoke? Or should i stop wasting time and do something more productive?

Its expensive.

ANd not i havent heard from new MS flight sim yet. Is it any good?

I used to fly them all : MS flight sim 2002, 2004, flight X.. all of them arent that great.

X Plane is where its at. If i get that joystick i need a new x plan app - x plane 11 which supposed to be the dogs bollox...

But if i get this yoke and new flight sim it means i will be wasting countless hours glued to my PC which just doesnt sound very righteous :shrug:

I mean i am glued to my PC all times but at least i channel my energies and do something useful and productive these days.


.......... i donno, i might still get it, its a cool yoke :haha:

Yo dude

Yea graphics look pretty amazing. Will see what the "feel" of flying MS sim

Are u a aspiring pilot too? How long u been playing flight sims for? I'll probably get the new ms sim.

Whats your favourite plane to fly? Mine would be boeing 787-9, and Airbus 350, absolutely stunning plane

No, im not, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't give it a go, if I had the chance.  I used to fly on my motorbike, 300kph/186mph was fun.

I think it would be fun flying a boeing 787-9, or a  Airbus 350, with the right controls, but I'll be happy playing the new MS flight sim on the xbox one x in 4k using a controller.
Btw, apparently the game is gonna be at least 150 gigs in size!!

My favorite planes are fighter jets (F1-11, F16 and planes like them).  I really hope they include some fighter jets in the new MS game.

Tgere some good civilian flight sims out there.

But what is missing is a good military sim.

The best second world war flight sim came out 17 years ago called Il-2, which was amazing but doesn't work on new computers.

Then back in 1998 there was a sim made by Digital Integrations f 16, Apache 64 and hind mi 24. Very very good stuff but unfortunately dont work on new age PCs.

That would be great if they did.  I think with the realistic graphics that's to come and games becoming more bigger and more immersive, that one day we could be playing all sorts of games that replicate life in many ways.  From a gaming point of view, it's a good time to be alive, and things should only get better :thumbup::thumbup:.

Is there a cheaper option thats still pretty good or nah?

Im thinking about getting a racing wheel cause Forza 7 is amazing.

Gypsy, have you considered Strike Fighters 2? https://levelskip.com/simulation/Best-Flight-Simulators

Also, what about a badass joystick?

I really like this joystick. I might buy it in the future.

This Joystick is pretty cool.

For those with a massive budget: Full-Set Flight Simulator

If you've got money to spend then you should try seeing if you can get an OLED headset for your flight sim.  There's a lot to be said for being able to swivel your head around the cockpit.

Just had a go at tank sim.............. VERY disappointing, and very expensive, worst 60 quid i ever spent

I wish those fuckers would first provide a demo before buying the stupid game like in the old times. Fucks sake :crankey:

If you like Space Flight Sims, check out Star Wars: Squadrons. Its Fucking AWESOME! Im using a Logitech Extreme 3D stick with the game and it works pretty damn well.

:sad:

I thought it was pretty great. But yeah, its more of a single-player, lets-do-missions kind of game. And of course lots of exploration to do. The Universe (Galaxy) is HUGE.

I havent played the single-player of Star Wars: Squadrons but my friend said its really good.

Im curious on your joystick mapping. Do you leave the default or did you change the Roll to Twisting the joystick?

I have mine mapped to Rolling is by twisting the joystick clockwise/counterclock-wise and with an inverted Y-Axis.
