The wonders of FS2K2

[Guest Jimbofly]

I've been using FS2K2 now since its release and have loved every moment of using it. I've flown countless different aircraft and am always in awe of the level of detail the authors have strived for and attained.Just recently I flew around Canberra at night and looked down at one of the water features. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the soft light of the moon was being reflected off the water! I've seen the sunlight reflections of every type in FS2K2 but never knew that the same was being done for the moon. It looked incredible, almost spookily real!It's amazing that no matter how long, far and wide I've flown in FS2K2, I always find something new, which is what flying is all about!James

Gents,Yeah, it's pretty impressive just how far the hobby has come, even just since the stuttering days of FS2000.I'll give credit to MS for designing a very stable "base" this time around, and for implementing a VC. But I think the lions share of praise has to go to the developers, for all the outstanding advances made in scenery & aircraft.Patiently waiting for PMDG's plans for MSFS,Roger
