Got this flight Sim from Amazon for £22 the other day, and must say it's a vast improvemtn on the '98 version. Detail and avionics is exceptional.

Just took the wife in a 777 from Manilla over Mt Pinatubo, stopped off in Cebu, and then landed in Davao.....actually IN Davao....I missed the runway by a mile :lol:

Have Fun Keith, I did a flight on mine in real time, from Heathrow to Manila
and I went outworking and when I got back the Boeing 747 was over Ekaterinburg, in Russia, quite thrilling i thought, she had done well while I was out working, hadnt she...hmmmm then I waited until she was about 70 miles out of Naia and began my descent...levelling it down to 5000 and over Tarlac...and Baguio..started lining up...not a bad landing actually...although my son had shown me several times how to do it, also having traffic control audio working, its good fun, I hope you enjoy yours..using the GPS is brilliant and the ground scenery is getting better and better all the time, have you bought the Airbus A320 for it as well..its very good.

I used to fly planes myself in the 80's but decided to spend 10 years getting drunk!!

I find airlines easier to fly than jets, probably cos nothing happens as fast. The GPS is a great addition, but only read 5% of the instructions.

The B52 is rather cool, and the B2 is boss. Very easy to fly due to all the tech stuff.

Just been doing a tour of N Wales in a Galaxy!
