Some may remember the recent flour bombs post here.
I was looking at X-plane as an alternative to that piece of malware they called CFS3. In doing so I soon found several conceptual similarities between (stress: speculative) FSX and X-plane.
It was said that the weapon profiling in FSX would be 'flour bombs' and that this could lead onto full damage profiles.
I am informed that whilst X-plane can load weapons, they DO NOT have damage effects and there are no kills on anything. X-plane state emphatically that theirs is NOT a combat sim, in-fact stop just short of labelling anyone wanting a combat sim as some kind of anti-christ.
There is also a lot of suggestion on the net that FSX copies some of the ideas from X-plane, if this is true it would be wise to hold back for a while if you are a serious combat modeller / developer. Flour bombs might be all you will get.
