Anyone here familiar with this simulator? I just bought it, I find it a blast, but I'm a complete n00b, so maybe a few tips and heads-up would probably help me.

For example, I know I can download scenery and aircrafts from a few dedicated sites, but how do I know if they are realistic and well integrated, compatible, etc. Basically which download is worth it or not?

Thanks.

 

I played that game when i was in flight school back in high school. Imo, its pretty realistic. I used this site for downloads http://www.avsim.com/. I like using meljets boeing planes, and if your really into it, you can go out and buy a retail addon for a specific plane. O and get a joystick and throttle control for a more realistic experience.


If you think your really good, mess with the weather settings to max wind on everything and server turbulence at low altitude, and try to land a 747 manually.

 

Teehee, I'll save that for later if you don't mind..

I've registered on avsim already, but it looks as if not all downloads are all that great.

 

Download and install the Flight Simulator 9.1 update

Done. Fixed a few bugs.
