good selection of games ya got, i am a fan of madden 2003 myself, the graphics are unbelievable, my only problem was on anything over 5 min quaters the scares were becoming to unrealistic, i took the broncos to the superbowl with something like 2000 points for and 1300 against.
if you havent got it, get GTA vice city, you will not have a social life after you start playing it, i have had it 5 months and have only just gotten past 59% complete. once you complete the main missions you get an apache at the fort baxter base and its great fun to go on killing sprees:)

I say if a console version of FS comes out,Im there! After all the grief and misery Ive been through trying to make this program run-just to find out it takes a$2000 computer to run a $40 piece of software,the choice is clear.Ill pop for the $399 PS3 or X-Box2,get perfect performance and be done with it.Besides,FS would be alot more fun viewed on my 56" widescreen anyway And whose to say a joystick with a keypad wont be made available as an accesory? 70g is just around the corner;hell,seems like just last week 1g was science fiction! Dont get me wrong.PC`s are a usefull tool,but for gaming and flight simming I think a console whose only pourpose is for said programs is the best bang for the buck! Thats my humble opinion on the topic Grin

To bad I cant make a living out of this,but it would probably kill me.

SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!! i dont have a PS2, not really into consoles, but when i sleep over my mates house up the road, he is always on his comp, and i say im going upstairs to play gta vice city, and, we do our own thing all night!! haha..i am just totally hooked to it..a good idea is to get the sniper, and take the chopper onto the roof and snippering off the edge of the buildings at people and cars..oh and have you flown the floatplane? its pretty mad! (but pretty bad in comparrison to real life dynamics)

Wow

- Madden fans on Simviation forum - excellent!! Diverse bunch aren't we? lol

The thing that annoys me about playing 5 min quarters is how all rest of league plays 15 min quarters, which totally screws up any of my players getting reasonable comparative stats against players from other teams... especially on defense.. I dont have time to play 15 min Quarters for every game in season!!!! - I'm hoping this will be one of many things that gets sorted in Madden 04, previews look really good.

As for Vice City, awesome game, but i'm an Xbox owner!! love the Xbox but it desperately needs something like a Vice City. My PC is just a Flight Sim unit... its the only piece of gaming software I have on there and I built it for the sole purpose of FS!!

ross why not get vice city for the PC? if it runs flight sim it should run vice city
and erhan my personal fav place to snipe from is the old print works, that or the car park just down the road from your starting appartment. the old print works is great for the rocket launcher to, if you use the weapons cheat and have enough rockets, all you need to do is blow up a few cars till you get a third star then move to the middle of the roof, and just take out the police choppers as the come along, then at the national guard level drop a few grenades down where the rhinos appear and it'll kill the soldiers, jump onto one of the tanks and get in and go on a rampage:)

mad!! well, speaking of systems and gta3, i downloaded gta3 (to see if it runs on my comp) and it didnt, i have a celeron 600, 128MB ddram, 32MB tnt 2 nvidia PCI (yes, PCI..not AGP) i put gta3 on lowest graphics, and i could draw the frames and colour them in on paper twice as fast as what the puter did, but is vice city easier on the comp, would i run it (cause fs2002 runs faster than fs2000)..so you think i could run it on low graphics..

Not a good idea in my opinion. It would end up like an arcade game, and you would not be able to add on your own planes or scenery.

The only thing consoles are good for is arcade style driving and sports games.... JMOT

Windows XP SP1&&Motherboard: Epox 8RDA + main board&&Processor: AMD XP2500 Barton CPU&&Memory: PC2700 1gb Geil DDR&&Hard Drive: SEA HDD IDE 40GB 7M 40GPP&&Hard Drive: Western Digital 40gb 8mb cache&&Monitor 15 LCD Flat Panel Display (15 viewable)&&Video Card: ATI Radeon 9500 Pro&&Sound Card: Creative Labs Audigy 2

I played Vice City in Houston, my cousin has it, it is really cool, I only played it the once, I loved being able to kill people, my favourite was pulling people out of their cars and driving around running over people! It was impossible to do that in the old Driver for PS1, they would always manage to "AVOID" the car, no matter how impossible it would be to get out of the situation in real life, in driver, it was as easy as that! But my favourite is going 300 km/h in my red Ferrari F50 through street tracks in NFS! I'd would love to do that in real life! Through the streets of Harare! Zimbabwe. Well, the police wouldn't do anything. Knowing this country! Wouldn't be able to catch me with their jeeps, or mercedes either!

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
