Any Comments about flying? slap em' in here; planes, gliders, choppers, anything! BTW, this thread is mainly geared towards flight simulators such as Airwulf, etc... (thought that needed some clearing up.) ------------------ [This message has been edited by chickadoo (edited November 24, 2004).] |

Planes are used to fly. Theres your wisdom for the day. I have a friend that is totally scared of flying, any tips to get him to go on an airplane? ------------------ |

um... tell him that eagles aren't sucked into jet engines. why is he scared of flying? there's nothing to worry about it. I sorta have a fear of hieghts, but that doesn't apply to flying. I think flying is cool, but my 15 hr flights can drag out a bit... I want to fly an F-22! ------------------ |

I like flying, I don't get as sick as I do in cars. I have to remember to bring entertainment with me on long trips, though . . . I've tried flying some of the larger jets in Flight Simulator, but I never seem to quite get lined up with the runway properly when landing. Maybe it's becuase I don't have a joystick, and the keyboard isn't exactly a good substitute. ------------------ Switch Mayhem now available! Get it here |

this, my friend is an F-22. developed by Lockheed-Martin, is the no1 Air-to-Air Superiotiy in fighter craft. costs around $100 million to make. can fly loops around the f-16. literally can do a 360 in the time a F-16 takes to do a 90. pilots who fly the f-16's say they'll take an F-22 anyday. now, I can settle for a F-35. ------------------ |

I remember seeing an article on the F-35; it was on PTV Nova. y'know s'funny, but i just saw that F-22 pic yesterday. I like F-16s because falcons are the fastest animal on earth (we have some faster ones in europa  )BTW cobraA1, My pastor says Joysticks are the only way to go in flight simulator. besides, those boeng jets in there take about 5 minutes to respond, and then they respond too much. I just use autopilot  . ------------------ sory bowt mi speling [This message has been edited by chickadoo (edited November 25, 2004).] |

You CANT fly without a joystick. Ive tried it and they make it impossible. As for the real life flying, Ive flown once... on a bike... got about 5 foot in the air and... I dont wanna talk about it realy  ------------------ I dont like siggys. They are to hard to think up :( |
