Agreed; though I'm not sure which systems aren't useable? I thought these old birds only generally had a throttle control and mixture/radiator? Also, one particular area that RoF exceeds DCS in is atmosphere. Just my opinion, but I feel like I'm very much in the aircraft in RoF, more so than DCS.

Made it looks easy too :) Well done!

Just watched the whole video...INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!

Is x-Plane X going to be the new standard in civ flight sims?? I hope so

Rise of Flight is, in some ways, a superior product to DCS! I am sure you will enjoy it if you are a fan of aviation. They move slowly, but will feel fast in a dog fight :)

Give me a time :) Do you play with a squad?? **stupid question, saw your sig!

I'd love to play it...I may pick a copy in a shop! Would love to play DCS with though MTF, if you're up for it!

Well, no worries there as I tried a format and guess what...It doesn't work! It's not worth my time or money to spend anything else trying to make this game work when I have such a fantastic simulator in DCS, I just very much miss civilian flying. Microsoft have said they will issue a refund, I have requested one for the PMDG J4100 and REX, however I very much doubt they will oblige (and quite understandably - the problem is with Microsoft, not them!) Anyway, given that I'll probably have a REX and JS4100 going spare, and given that I have no interest in pursuing this game any further, would anybody here make good use of the addons? Would ideally like them to go to somebody that would get hundreds of hours of use out of them...It's about £50 ($80 or so?) worth of software going free....So....Not really sure who should get it :) lol What are hobby communities for!

Nice, I'm jealous...Can't wait for the 737 and (if it works) will get the MD-11 next. How is the PMDG FM?? I have heard bad things about fsx FM, but hopefully that's stuck aircraft..

Awesome :-) They really are working hard to make that game even more awesome than it already is. Apparently the career is effectively in Beta atm though, may try it out in a month or two! Thanks for the update

If I ever get FSX running I'll buy that for sure. Are airliners significantly more complex than a jet like the A10? It just seems...It has so many more buttons!

Sounds awesome, than you very much :) do you have the J4100 by any chance??

thanks MTF :) I am about to format as I haven't in quite a while and quite frankly, my PC is a wreck. Just backing up now. hopefully FSX will work afterwards :-) i have already bought the PMDG J4100 with REX and UTX, hopefully it wont be a 10fps crawl but from what mower says, I won't expect too much.

Thanks Rex! Will try that :) Microsoft said it's to do with me having a previous version installed, and I need to get rid of that...I did have it installed, like...AGES ago. How ridiculous is this.

That is annoying - Well, at least I will have tried it. If I can get it working I don't think it'll be long before I'm back to A10. Would love a game that ran like DCS, looked like DCS, had the depth of DCS in terms of avionics/systems/FM and allowed world wide civilian flight. That'd be perfect :)

That is a shame, though I can't even test it now :D I heard the PMDG stuff is worth buying it for though...Is that not true?

Hey guys, This is where I bought the game from - http://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/en-GB?icid=UserLocationRedirect Do you think it is legit? Looks good but now you've flagged up it could be fake....

Hi all, Just had to have a rant and see if anybody can advise. I recently bought FSX and have only just downloaded it, however I have had one problem after the next. First, I tried to download it, clicked the link and it timed out, clicked it again, timed out...Clicked it a final time and I wasn't able to try again. Had to email customer support...Two days later it worked again. So, I download the game (slowly because their servers are terrible, apparently) and install it. I type in the product key and it says it's invalid. An invalid CD key which I have clearly bought from Microsoft. 5 email exchanges later we've established that it isn't because I've typed in the CD key wrong (primarily because, at the end I realised I could copy paste it). They have asked me to phone them, so I try, get a message in what sounds like korean, and the phone cuts off. The reason this is so frustrating is because I have also purchased GEX, REX, UTX, PMDG J4100.....As you all know this was not cheap. Further, I won't be able to get a refund on any of it. Has anybody else been in a situation like this? I am unable to speak to anybody, and their emails are generic copy paste replies. Is it very frustrating and I am tempted to uninstall FSX and give away my addons. Not something I want to do because they were expensive, but this is draining!

aha thanks :) My god this is hard....Can't do it...I give up :D

Hey all, I'm trying aerial refueling but I just cannot work out how to make the refueling recepticle raise? I've tried the same button I use to turn on NWS...What am I doing wrong?

She's got a big gun :)

Not a very technical answer but doesn't the gun take up a substantial section of the airframe? As such you'd presume most damage to the body of the aircraft would damage the weapon....Not sure though

Awesome, looks like I will be playing online :)

Ah okay, thank you very much for the info!

Outstanding :) Didn't even know you could do this...Very very impressed!
