One of the few things that Microsoft does really well is their Flight Simulator. I have been playing MS FlightSim since I had an old TI Portable Professional Computer. The TIPPC was the first PC at the time to have something close to what we now call VGA graphics. So flight sim always looked better on my TIPPC vs. friend’s IBMs or clones. Or if you are not all geeknerd like me, it happened in the mid to late 80’s.
Well, this Tuesday they are releasing Flight Simulator X. Tonight I downloaded the demo and dusted off my old CH Pro yoke and pedals. The demo is pretty impressive and I am sure I will pick up the game as soon as it hits the shelves. It will give my PC something to do now that I spend most all of my time on this mac.
