July 22, 200322 yr hi,Looks like Discovery wings channel has started playing an fs2004 commercial. I missed the first part of it and heard the ending "Flight simulator 2004 rated E for everyone" (with a big picture of the tin box on the screen). :-) I hope to see the commercial again so I can see how it starts.Andrew
July 22, 200322 yr BTW hows that channel, Ive heard there are many repeated shows, how was the FS show, something new?
July 22, 200322 yr Author Commercial Member I've had Discovery Wings for a while now, and don't watch it as much as I thought I would. The repetition of programs gets a little annoying, but I guess it's hard to fill a 24x7 schedule with nothing but fresh aviation programming. There are some great shows, however. I watched the Simulator program a few nights ago, and it was fairly interesting. Lots of talk about Military uses for simulation, especially for training squadrons to work together as a team. There was a fair little bit on FS2004, with interviews with the MS team and such, and while it wasn't a lot of new information it was great to see the people behind the program up close and personal. I also watched "Learning to Fly" the other night for the first time -- it's a series following one student as she, well, learns to fly. As someone who hasn't taken the challenge of real-world piloting yet, I found it fascinating. And they used FS2002 to show what she was going to be doing before she did it! It was a great use of FS to demonstrate flight maneuvers, and one of the first times I'd seen it used that way on TV.
