If it's of any help, FU3 seems to run perfectly on Windows 7, you may be able to pick up a cheap Win 7 PC somewhere. If it's running Windows 7 it'll be powerful enough to run FU3... I mean, within reason I suppose...

I've always piqued an interest with flying, whether that is virtually or in real life. Have tried my hand at micro light flying although found the turbulence was no good for my stomach - similar to racing cars actually with the insane G-Forces found at the track

Always found it far easier to find a virtual racing game I can settle into, Gran Turismo Sport being my choice at this present moment. However, flying was always one I struggled with. Basically, earlier this year and for the last 2 decades, I have settled for the classic Flight Unlimited 3 (2 as well). It seemed to blend the right balance I required between game and sim, being that I have limited time to play and require a jump in and go method of playing over a long set up or similar. I have tried multiple versions of MSFS in the past as well as X-Plane and a couple other early access things on Steam. The only thing that came close to being something I'd enjoy was flying air craft in GTA - although as you understand, that is far too basic and never satisfied the flying craving I had, so I always went back to FU3

However the reviews for MSFS 2020 were promising. And I've picked it up with Microsoft Game Pass. And yuss, this is the game I have been waiting for. It has the right amount of aides so that anyone can jump in and fly. I am able to leave ATC (for now) to the AI and concentrate on take off, flying and landing, which is what I prefer. I also don't need to do any pre flight checks or anything like that (again, interested in turning off all Ai aides once comfortable), I am simply able to jump in anywhere, at anytime to have a flight. To freaking anywhere! It all looks so word not allowed good!!!! I've even already installed a fighter jet into the game, just so I have a plane with a little more grunt

What about you guys? Have you had similar issues with finding the right game in the past, and has this one fixed your concerns with previous air sim titles? Or is it still missing something you desire? No doubt a few of you will see me how I see people who prefer Forza over Gran Turismo (and then people who prefer to spend $2K a year on iRacing will see me for playing Gran Turismo) - word not allowed rookies!

Congrats Hans Petter, thats a big step ahead :-)The only reason for the rects are the speed up of the cockpit screen, a must for 400MHz computer of 1998 but not needed for todays hardware.As I looked to you last posted picture in the other tread I noticed the failure at the recs limits, the center was ok, but not the borders.Now your way is easy to use and can help all with Vista and new hardware.

Thanks a bunch! http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=blackbird&CatID=lgfu3&Go=Search

Haha, nah I can't at all. What was the full story with the hack?

Hey guys, asked for your help a while back and got myself the 2.00 747. Great aircraft. Started playing the game again after finding FSX is absolute rubbish, I'm after the old bluebird aircraft. I remember using it years ago, I think before this sites hack. Does anyone have it? It was uncontrollable to say the least but it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for any help!

Thank you guys so much! Awesome that a few of you still care about this game after all this time. Best flight sim, just because it had everything you need and nothing you didn't. Thanks again  :lol: I'll be keeping a backup of it and some of the other files, you can't kill what is awesome!

Hi.

 

I think this is what you are looking for:

 

http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=lgfu3&DLID=144819

 

If not, my FU3 installation is currently zipped up but given an evening or two of poking around I may be able to find other files that are no longer in the library here.

 

Cheers,

Dave

Hey Dave

That's the only one I can find too, that's 1.13, it's a bit glitchy and missing a few things. Why have a lot of things disappeared from the library? Back in either 08 or 09 I remember getting the 2.00, a blackbird and the "perfect" single prop engine aircraft (based on the mooney), yet I can't find any of them. The blackbird was so much fun, Mach 4 in FU3!!

I can no longer find this final 747 for flight unlimited 3, could someone help me find a copy?
