Well, I have had FS9 for almost a week now
And it is great

Wehn I started flying with the FS series, it was FS98 at my uncles one day, then CFS1 another day

Then about a month or so later my Dad got me a copy of CFS1, and I was hooked
Then when I discovered downloads awhile later it became more fun 8)
At that point I hadn't thought of getting any of the other FS titels, mainly because I prefer military avaition to civil
But anyway one christmas I got FS2000 after my friend had about two months before chiristmas
Now I was thrilled with FS2000 and it didn't ware off until my friend got FS2002
So I flew the game at his house and thought it was great
So onto the internet to check the price and then.............. £50 F K Off microsoft, and that was the end of that
So I went back to flying my faithful FS2000

But about 1/2 a year ago I noticed that the number of freeware planes had started to go down, bad, but I had an extensive collection of aircraft

Then FS9 came out and I thought WOW thats 10 times better then what I have, but again the bl dy price, so I went back to FS2000

Then I bought a copy of CFS3 that was great
But I still wanted FS9

So I bought Call of Duty and Battlefield Vietnam and really forgot about sims apart from CFS3 whcih I played online, that was good

But the saviour of simming in my life was, a shop in America called Circuit City (similar to Dixions but better) I had a wonder round the shop, and FS9, checked the price, $19.99 ($21.99 whith sales tax) went to Dad said I am buying this!!!!!

So I got FS9 for £12.95, WOW

I couldn't want to install not even Granny wanting to be told about the holiday could get in the way

And boy was I amazed

AMAZING

Is the word--Then all the downloads pages and pages and pages of them

In one week I have installed 31 aircraft, one crash software and a carrier, also in one week I have become I memeber of this forum great stuuf

Everyone is so helpful

Everyone likes my Screenshots

I am also discovering how to fly using IFR and VFR, use auto pilot

Know I am not being stupid but in FS2000 I could just select course hold and the plane would follow the filght plan I created and then land itself, but now there is none of that

Well actually it is not annoying it brings the fun back to flying

What I'd liked to say, is that this one of the best game I own, and apart from Battlefield Vietnam it is the only one I play, and these forums make the game so much better, with getting helpful answers for everything

Thank you all

P.S does anyone have a link to POSKY B757-300, I tried to dowload it from the POSKY website and it didn't work

Links will be welcomed



And with that I will fly away

Whatv makes this game fun is doing stunts with planes that aren't made for stunts (Cessna) and planes that theoreticaly counldnt even dream of it (Any boeing)


like my stunt:

I took off with a boeing 737-300 out of my home airport, took it up to 3000 barrell rolled it up side down, flew it to 50000 from there, and then pulled back hard for a instant direction change. I was able to regain strait and level at 2000.  SCARY STUFF!

ofcoarse over stress was disabled. None-the-less tough to do.

Hey Budd, I'm glad you like FS9-its an amazing improvement over the previous versions (especially in the weather catagory).

I just checked, you can download the new POSKY 757 over at www.avsim.com.  Just go run a search for "Project Opensky" and you should be able to find it.

Right on
