Driving in FTX is enormous fun, the car is hard to control but the surroundings look IMHO very real even at ground level. Recommended!

With my new-found love of driving in FSX I'm going to have to try out more of his vehicles... and take a look at Katahu's stuff too!

Have a good week!

And don't forget to check out the 'Best Of' competitions in Studio V, the polls are on now!

Hey! Roger

I see that you have discovered how much fun it is to drive around in FSX also. I have been driving the LEXUS. I like you, fly a lot better then I drive in FSX. It takes some practice, but I'm getting a little better. It's gets pretty scary when you hit a hilly or bumpy stretch in the road. I've been airborne and in the ditch quite often.

Good to see you driving on the right (left) side of the road. Not like those yanks. ;D

Beautiful shots, neat colours. :) Did you drive to the MCG?

Thanks!  :) I live in the Czech Republic and here we drive on the right i.e. different from the Aussies... but the main problem was, like Bob says, staying on the ground and even on the road, or in the nearby vicinity anyway. I quickly learned to just press Y for slew if we came off in hilly terrain - you can end up zooming off at a tangent and having to use top-down view and slew to get back to where you were. Tons of fun though! And the city looks great at night...
