Every plane pretty much flew like every other plane, within a specified type. No indications of the onset of airframe failure do to "overstressing". Just fly along, pull up and *boink* black screen, end of "mission".

FSX was a flight procedure simulator and nothing more.

But then I guess some people enjoy pretending to be ATCs and telling other people what to do.


I'll pass.

Stock FSX is dreadful. Some of the payware stuff is really good, but that's not what I buy games for, to pay more money to make them fun.

@udidwht: BTW, Windows Live doesn't necessarily imply consoles, Dawn of War II (Warhammer 40k strategy game) uses Windows Live. And Steam. What an absolute faff on that was, especially since if you couldn't login to Windows Live (for example if their servers were down or even just very busy), you could basically do nothing in the game. Anyway it says on the site that it's a PC exclusive doesn't it?
