That's really most of what I've been doing lately on the computer. At first I trained using the Cessna but now I'm getting more adept at using the 747 and taking advantage of autopilot. Right now I'm making a cross country flight from KSFO to KJFK although I've been flying for about 30 minutes and have yet to get out of Nevada. psyduck;

Those look like they would help. I really only need the throttle one, though. I prefer controlling the Yoke with the mouse.
also I need some fucking rudder pedals

I don't use Flight Simulator X. I use FlightGear partly because I have a Mac and partly because It's open source and not restricted to a small group of developers
eBay it
and macs suck for gaming

That doesn't concern me considering I play two games, FlightGear and CoD2 and my macbook runs both perfectly
also
boot camp
argument over

Hey look, Call of Duty 4 is coming out soon. caterpie;
I bet you can't run that on your Crap Book
And it's not about the software, it's about how Mac jacks up the prices of anything that will let you play new good games on your computer for less then $2,000. And Boot Camp isn't a compelling argument.

okay so being able to play any game on any platform isnt a compelling argument
GOTCHA

Those aren't made for Flight Simulator X.

Mac doesn't have good exclusive games.
I was saying that you should say Macs are good at gaming because they can run Windows XP to play games that run on Windows XP... because you just reinforced my argument that my PC can run games better and cheaper
u lose

I lose because...
uh yeah i used to play ms flight simulator (2004 one, have yet to buy X) quite a bit, until i lost the discs
found them a while back, but i put them away somewhere because at the time i was on too crappy of a pc to actually play it, and i've essentially lost it again
Tried Flight Gear, but I just didn't like it that much. While I'd normally go with open source, I just like MSFS much, much more.
also easier to set up joysticks on windows
speaking of which, i've got a saitek x45 thingy

nothing that fancy, but at least it covers all the axes

what didn't you like about FlightGear?
I HAVE IL2 STURMOVIK 1946 BUT ITS HARD

uh didn't look as pretty and wasn't all that intuitive
and it didn't seem to keep my graphical settings so that was annoying too
oh and a lot of graphical glitches too

uh seems like a bit much unless you've already got a copy of xp or whatever

I know
But at some point in High School im near positive I'll need to install Windows and When I do I'll just make a partition small enough to save all the FSX files
