Question: Does Flight Benefit from HyperTheading?
skunker replied to fritzgohl's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
That's the point. I just did. You can also prove there are no married bachelors. We can show that something is self-contradictory. -

No U. S. Senator is a Muslim. There are no T-Rexs on the moon. So, yes, you can prove a negative:) -
You can do a flight plan using skyvector.com which is what most of us used in real life. Pretty easy, it has a "rubber band" magenta line to each landmark with compass heading and estimated time for each leg.

How about foreflight for MSFight?? :) www.foreflight.com . I got it for my iPad for flying my J3 Cub in real life.

I thought I was obsessed....glad to see someone has surpassed me. lol. The day people's "sent from my..." signature has more text content than their message is the day we are all doomed forever.

Sad sad news about our Carbon Cub
skunker replied to Gibbage's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
Hate to add fuel to the fire here, but the Carbon Cub, while an amazing STOL aircraft, is not even a practical airplane for the bush country such as Alaska. Empty weight is 900 and you only get about 420lbs of useable weight out of the max 1320lbs (2 pilots already alone are like 400lbs). That does not leave much room for simple cargo like rifles, survival supplies, rations, etc. So, for missions and jobs, you won't be using the CC for anything other than sightseeing. If anything, they should have at least included the famous Super Cub which can take much more cargo. -

Yikes! OK. thanks for the clarification.Why can't Microsoft just hire a few more designers/programmers to do those da*n cockpits. -

How do you guys know that "basic"= no cockpit? The way I read it, I understood the "basic" Carbon Cub to be the standard model that is sold by the company. No tundra tires, no fancy equipment with glass, just the basic CCub for simple VFR flying, which is really all you need. -
P-40 To be Released Wednesday

They can't see the cockpit either! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFe8CsOdoG8 -
Was about to buy the Zero...but then you folks found out it has no cockpit, so then I guess i will not buy this one (and I didn't buy the Mustang, either). I'm a HUGE WWII buff, too! Btw, the Zero does have a place in history with Alaska.....you folks remember that Japan attacked Alaska after Pearl Harbor, right?

best spin in any aircraft made for a flight sim is still the A2A Piper Cub, imho. Maybe I am biased since I also own a Cub and have spun it...

Hi folks,I can't seem to get the rudder turned off for the joystick. I want to keep it only for the pedals. I tried going to the OPTIONS and selecting my joystick and deactivating the rudder, but it won't let me unassign/delete it.

Cannot get brales or force feedback to work at all

Just remember if you fly the stearman...many of the original aircraft from the 1920s-30s had NO BRAKES! -
It just seems a lot more "real" feeling
skunker replied to Rush1169's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
Hey all, first FLIGHT post here.I'm a real pilot. I own and fly a J3 Cub. I have to say that FLIGHT is the closest I've felt to FLYING than FSX. I have only flown the Stearman in real life (not the Icon) and think that the game version feels like the real thing. I have to give a big thumb up for FLIGHT. -
