Haven't touched my FlightSims in days because of this new Addiction

I have to show that to my wife... I only fear loosing flight time... :-/

Flying gliders since 1980

Flightsimming since 1992

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Thank you...but, why "five by five"?

Because traditionally, there were 2 scales from 1 (or 0) to 5 for radio reception, signal strength and signal clarity (basically a measure of the SNR), You could conceivably have a strong, but garbled, signal, which would be '5x1' or '5x0' if it's totally unintelligible.

 

"5 by 5" indicates top quality strength, and top quality of signal clarity.

not with me :lol: i'm weak and my brain signals are low quality with alot of static :lol:

Well...... Then something is learned when it seems that Farm Simulation could be as big as FSX (and maybe has a wider market!)

also Multiplayer/CO-OP and there's a business model ontop of all the other goodies: buying,selling,shipping, receiving, etc. etc.

it does have a wider market: I know men, women and kids that play this but fsx/xp10 is usually a male thing :P :lol:

I'm going to Bass Pro Shops this weekend for their annual Spring Fishing Extravaganza. Makes me stop and think. Ever thought about a fishing simulator? To equate to MSFS it would need to:

- Provide every source of fishable water, from the oceans to the smallest trout streams

- Include all the roads and bridges that get to there, including off road trails

- Geo-contour stream and river flow, and water depth, including underwater structures and “buried” junk that provides habitats

- provide all the known fish types, complete with species-typical size ranges, texture and coloring, food chain tendencies, and seasonal habits

- provide the full range of water vessels from kayaks and canoes to ocean-going commercial fishing ships

- accurately modeled and true to life ports, marinas, piers, and docks, each complete with AI boats

- provide accurately modeled electronics including maritime GPS, comm radios with real world frequencies and coverage, collision avoidance and weather radar, and a full range of depth and fish finders

- the full range of fishing tackle available, including selection of fishing lines, lures, and modeled live baits

- what did I miss????

Thinking this through really brings our flight simulation hobby and how it has developed into perspective, doesn’t it?

 

You see? There is this fishing hole below a bridge just off route 17 where the Robidoux stream flows into the Gasconade river near the Waynesville/Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, area where I used to catch great trout and small mouth bass and I haven't been back there in real life in years.............

I have said as much in other ways. No other type of consumer level simulation I can think of even attempts to go into the level of detail necessary to be deemed even worthy of "true" sim status within the community as it stands now.

 

And now it seems that even the most obscure of those has better commercial prospects.

 

Hmmmmmm.........

http://www.farming-simulator.com/ the vehicules, equipment, graphics, etc all look great!

 

Now with the new smell-o-manure feature!

 

Farming simulator 2013, "As smelly as it gets".

"Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

It's one thing telling your wife that you'll be flying the 737 to Amsterdam after tea, but another telling her you're going to drive the tractor round the farmyard :lol:

 

The latter is more likely to provoke fears of infidelity, too. ;)

Stand by on this purchase. I am getting ready to Beta test my next release which is a Simulator which will simulate running all the simulators. Version 2.0 will be a simulator that simulates running a simulator that will simulate running all simulators and will be a free upgrade to all that purchase the version one simulator.

Just the thought of that gives me shivers!

 

When moving a tractor (or combine) from one farm to another will it have to stop at train crossings?

 

Would be nice to see someone on a tractor mowing the grass around the runways....

Most likely caused by your shiver simulator :p0802:
