Military Traffic

[Katahu]

If you want a civilian sim with weapons, then get X-Plane. However, that's only if you have about $70 for it and that you have at least a 100GB hard drive [the sim is 60GB fully installed if you want the whole world].

EDIT: Besides, why do you want M$ to convert its civilian sim to a combat sim when you can download and install [for free] some effects [like nukes, napalm, gun fire] from well-known sources?

Could be worse. He could have become engaged in a civil partnership with Charles.

Well if they wanted to make it like the real world.
they could set resricted airspace over military bases.
and if you enter the resricted area an auto pilot and mabey some fighter jets could escort you out.
or you have to get a military licence to enter.

By the way: thanX for the military downloads.

i dont want guns or missiles in the game either
i just want some miliary traffic that passes through.
like army guard CH-47's or air guard C-130's

It's ok to have military aircraft flying around in FS because that's was FS is all about. Just flying. As for restrictions, that's a good idea. My idea is to simply have the ATC send a radio message warning you that you are tresspassing and should give you enough time before an "autoland" feature kicks in and lands you on the nearest airport. After which a message should appear saying:

Congradulations! Your @55 is now busted and the FAA and FBI have your rear end on a sling. From here on, FS will now crash to your desktop. Have a nice day.

Yes, lets turn FS into a roleplaying game. How about a career mode? Yes, and you will be able to buy virtual houses in the FS world. You drive a Ferrari from your house to the airport. Then you board a 737. You should be able to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom too. If you overspeed you get a ticket from the FAA. You should also be able to make conversation with your co-pilot. You make money as a pilot and buy things. You should be able to buy a camera and become a virtual plane spotter.

...

If you can't tell - I'm being sarcastic.

A scary thought for some people. Imagine seeing me in the Sims as a Doc and I am the one giving injections.

I love my guns-- they represent one of my most basic freedoms as an American. I have 12 of them; 7 are handguns and the other 5 are rifles. I have no shotguns, but the purchase of one is planned.  One of my rifles can hit a Coke can at 600 yards if I'm on my game that day. I pity those of you around the world who can't own a gun because your governments don't trust you.

Umm... wrong place to post such a message. This section of the forums is in regards to Flight Simulator X, not gun rights.

..WOW!..hit a coke can at 600 yards?...how COOL is THAT? .......

BTW.....we ARE allowed to own a gun if we have a specific use for one...sporting guns, target shooting etc......but you wouldn't get a licence to shoot at Coke cans............we never had the "Wild West" here in the uk........sounds like it never went away in the US...........commoner......

Quite right Katahu, however I must comment here.

The British Government band certain firearms, namely handguns. They where band after a man called Thomas Hamilton entered grade school an executed 15 children aged 5 and 6 years old.  How many children have been executed in US schools, a dam sight more than 15. Unlike the US, that does not dive a crap about a daily on going problem, the UK chose to do something about it.  As for your government trusting you, it is the opposite. Not a single elected member of your government has the balls to stand up and say enough is enough, nothing more nothing less.

The second amendment states:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Militai..................Depends what group America is referring to today............Iraqi insurgents, or upstanding patriotic gun toting Americans.

Simviation is the wrong place for this post. I think the reader coulomb of Guns N Ammo would be better.


PS for the record, I have two handguns, a rifle and a shotgun. I use them for hunting and not killing coke cans at 600 yards!


Sorry to other forum members, I could not leave this post unanswered.
