Looking for non-technical flight sims, help!
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:29 am
Hi Everyone.
I've had my TIR3+VE for quite some time but up until now I haven't really started using it, the reason for that is that all of the flight simulators that are TIR enhanced are very technical in nature.
Now I know that the majority of TIR users are avid simmers and are looking for realism in the sims they play, and I really respect you all for that because it is really hard and challenging.
However, to me, a good flight sim would be a simple game, similar to the old X-Wing, Wing Commander, and Dog Fight (I wonder how many of you played that one, it's very old, but I used to have tonnes of fun with it), a flight sim where all you need to do is steer the craft with your joystick, shoot bullets, launch some missiles, and possibly switch power from the shields to the engines... but definetly not mix up engine solutions, trim the engine, change RPMs, Prop ratios and so on...
I'm pretty technically-challenged when it comes to flight sims, but more to the point, I am not looking for the realism but the simplicity, I want to be able to concentrate on the mission and objectives rather then be occupied with maintaining my craft.
Please help me, if you know of a simple flight sim that can be played with the TIR with mouse emulation or some other method, please let me know.
And I would also like to request from the NaturalPoint team to possibly add support to a simple flight sim every now and than so users like me can take to the skies
Hoping for some replies, and am waiting patiently for GTA:SA support.
Thanks in advance.
