This is the Real World

Postby Flight Ace » Mon Oct 24, 2011 10:52 am

I have passed by Manhattan on many nights actually flying an Aero Commander and twin Beech and what I saw then I am seeing again on a PC screen. The simularity is uncanny.

This is the same beautiful view you see from the air today.

I have always wanted to do this in a Bell H-13 Helo. Now all I have to do is fire up my PC.

I have actually flown this approach to landing at JFK on numerous occasions. Nothing that I saw then during the approach has changed from what I see now on this screen.

Wonderful shots and commentary...well done... :)

FSX like the Flight Simulator Games before it does not depict Canada very well, as a matter of fact, hardly at all... :)

The West Coast of British Columbia only is not bad, I would give it a rating of 50% but otherwise the rest of the country shows incorrectly and poorly in the games, especially most airports... ;D

Hope "Flight" does better... ;)
