Anyone there?

Hi just joined the tribe and thought I would say hi.

Was recently ill and my friend gave me his copy of Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 and I have been playing it ever since! Anyone else hopelessly trying to land a 747 at Gatwick? (I say hopeless, but I do always land just next to the runway!)

    Well I am still here, although almost no one else shows up much any more. I fly mostly combat sim's. So few of the tribes have any action ever sinecs they did that bad change a few years ago. Yes, they fixed things, but a little to late with My Space around now.

      Ah, never tried combat sims, I can just about managed ordinary flying never mind someone shooting at me!

      I'd actually never heard of Tribe until a couple of days ago, I did try myspace but it's all a bit too much hard work for me!

        I thought the 747 handled pretty well. In X-planes I like to start at 40k feet, at night, with a bad storm below me. Then all I gotta do it find an airport to land at.

        The 747 is such a brute that it muscles its way through all but the worst weather.

    Same question but one year later on.........
    Prefer the Ubisoft flight sims but that's purely preference. Done enough landing at Gatwick as a passenger to not want to try it as a virtual pilot...!

      for actual simulation I play either X-planes 8.64 or FSX. For dogfighting I fly Pacific fighters, sturmovich, or Wings over Vietnam,

      My gaming platform is a full size, sit-down flight simulator with a 60x40 " screen, force feedback seat, Saitex X52 controller+throttle, MS steering wheel & pedals, and a kenwood sound system powered by a duo core processor and a 512mb PCIe video card. I can land about anything.
