I was in training all last week for Windows Vista. On friday, I was out of class by 1330, and decided to stop sporing for the evening and try something brand new. I picked up a flight simulator, my FIRST flight simulator since the late 80s.
Neat things about the new flight simulators: There is this massive multiplayer community, complete with people who do air-traffic control; FOR FUN... Which I can't quite explain, but that does add an interesting dynamic. (Information regarding this at Penny-Arcade)
Anyway, not a lot of action in this; but definitely realistic and whatnot. Very interesting. The other nice thing is there is a LOT of freeware planes, if they don't initially offer some of the stuff you want to fly. (Military aircraft, for example)
