    A very interesting article with opinions from professionals. Arrow

    http://www.temple.edu/ispr/examples/ex04_06_18.html

    There is a big reference to FS(Close to the middle of the page)but its worth the time to read all of it. Wink

    I think that it also points whether FS is a game or not from his nature and not from what anyone thinks of it. Wink



    ***Sorry for the wrong place of posting...But maybe its better to be placed here than between Sports,Apologizes and Drinks. Wink

    That looks an interesting read. I'll have a look through it later.

    Thanks GM! Thumbs Up!

    The 2 major things any flight simulator lacks are FEEL and SIGHT. You can closely match sight with some virtual goggles that display where you turn your head to look, but there is no economical way to simulate the feel even as much as an old Link trainer.
