Flight Simulators

[miss_zgamer]

So its my birthday and a friend wants to get me a PC Game as a present. I told her not to worry but she insists.

So, I have a choice between Flight Simulator or Transformers 2.

I am more of a NEED FOR SPEED and MAME gal

I am relatively new when it comes to Flight Simulators. I wanna learn to fly a plane and land it. Will it be possible with an ordinary Flight Sim game. It does not have to be a latest version, can you recommend anything.

Is there anything I need to play it. I know my pc must be good to handle it and I need a Flight stick too.

Assist me please

He probably meant it that way too

If it's FlightSim 10, you're probably going to need a pretty heavy machine too - the series is famous for hogging resources.

I was thinking of not going for a latest release but something from maybe 3 or 4 years ago.

Il2 - Sturmovik. I know it's going for R99 at pretty much any decent place u can buy games. Combat Flight Simulator 3. FlightSim X is pretty amazing, but MS don't make it no more :/ Otherwise if u really want to go old skool, play X2 - Threat,Darkstar One, Tachyon - The Fringe

Rather go for the new X3 Terran conflict you want to get an X game as they finally got a hold on the controls ... Darkstar One is lots of fun for a space sim and a hell of a lot easier than the X games.

Only flight sim I really liked was an arcade ones like Crimson Skies (so not serious sim like). Although I have heard Il2 - Sturmovik is pretty good

I have X3 - Terran Conflict, but it's not really something you can buy in the stores though :/ X2 - Threat is going for R59.99, which is begging for some loving IL2 - Sturmovik is not for the faint hearted though, pretty hectic game. But i love it

Crimson Skies was a awesome game from MS, pity they never made a sequal though

[miss_zgamer]

I just want to know how to learn to fly a plane 747 or something similar. I want to be able to land/take-off with it. Something not too hectic. I must admit that I HATE games like the Sims etc.

So a flight simulator game we go hunting...
