One of my favorite games...

Just thought I'd share with you what my favorite game would have to be. I LOVE Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It's really great. The graphics, the controls, everything. While it's a fun game, or should I say simulator, it is still very educational. In fact, just about a month ago when I flew a Cessna 172 for the first time, the instructor was extremely impressed with my knowledge. I was able to fly the plane, maintain altitude, turn ,and whatever he wanted me to do. This was all thanks to FSX. I'll be honest with you, though; this game is very hard for the early beginner. I hated it at first, just because the virtual instructor wanted me to intercept a localizer, and tune the radio to the correct frequency. How was I supposed to learn how to do that? I won't tell you what a localizer is, because that's beside the point. After over 100 hours in my log (this is real time, folks!) I understood most of everything. This game has stunning graphics for 2006. Surprisingly, you couldn't find a computer that would run the game on high settings until 4 years later. My computer still only has 10FPS (Frames per second) on ultra high settings! The game has over 24,000 airports! I'm sure that's almost every one of them at the time. Addons are really great too. There's a website called Simviation that has user uploaded freeware planes, scenery, etc. The game includes at least 20 included aircraft (not including the different colors to choose from) for the game. These range from an AirCreation Trike Ultralight, to a Boeing 747. This just has to be my favorite game because all the scenery, and planes, and you can't forget education! Thanks for reading, and post a comment about your favorite game!
