Producing warbirds for FSX or X-Plane?
IMO, flight simulators make sense with competent navigation, instruments and procedures for the current time.
Don't get me wrong I do admire some of the outstanding 3rd party aircraft, just don't see the value.
I tried the FA/18 in FSX, and found it was more interesting to fly the Jane's FA/18 in combat situations. Afterall... warbirds are for shooting, bombing and causing havoc.
If I were training to fly the FA/18 as a real pilot I would definitely spend alot of time flying instruments and charts in FSX or X-Plane. You can definitely improve your real world flying skills in a flight simulator.
When it comes to air combat... that's another story.
