fitness88 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Anyone fly this sim? If so what's it like, looks pretty good! It boasts...VirtualPilot3D™ is designed to be 100% real with real scenery, real cockpits and real aircraft! Fact is, no other flight simulator in the market beats this for sheer realism. http://www.virtualpilot3d.com/?hopc2s=eray67 Edited April 18, 2015 by fitness88
Chipwich Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I sorry, that "game" looks pretty dated IMO. 2D pits in 2015? You must be joking. Take a look at the Carenado B200 or PC-12 aircraft in X-Plane if you want "real". And that web site is full of rhetorical marketing statements without much detail on how it is better than other sims like X-Plane or Prepar3D.

Teapot Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 smells fishy ... "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft." Wishlist Terrains - Bigger maps Wishlist Modules - A variety of utility aircraft to better reflect the support role. E.g. Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking!
SilentGun Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 its a complete scam... the aircraft are from FSX... and so is everything else... Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)
Flagrum Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I like how every "customer" statement has a small 5-out-of-5-stars rating icon. That reeeeally adds to their credibility... (Hrm, I should put such a *****-icon in my forum signature here - so I will be treated more seriously!)

shagrat Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 As others said before, it is basically a scam trying to fool people into paying for the open source Flight Gear. It's not the only one on the Internet... Especially as Google results, still seem to favor scam as long as they pay them. You can download that one for free from the projects website directly, if you want to try it out. It is not really comparable to Sims like FSX or X-Plane.

aaron886 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I did not think that website would actually work on people. Apparently it does...
fitness88 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 WOW...so it's unanimous! Thanks for the feedback
shagrat Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 They do nothing "wrong"... They provide you access to their " Virtual Pilot 2015" Package. It is not forbidden to sell Open Source products, just you need to provide the source code if you add/change things... Was the same problem with Open Office a while ago. Google listed always "Open Office - service subscriptions" on top, trying to fool people in subscribing to an OpenOffice download plus a training course/access to an online help etc. of course useless, but still you paid for the "service", not OpenOffice... What is really interesting is, Google search engine can filter a lot of things and identify "unwanted" content very well. Does that mean Google wants these guys to be successful and participate in their revenues? Is that why they still get listed, often in premier places? Just wondering...

Pikey Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 The Google favoured top results are paid for by the vendor, I always advise to ignore them, when researching I look for things myself, the ones that force themselves into view I get too cynical about. I don't like the idea you can sell something under a different name though, that doesn't sound ethical, selling OS stuff is perfectly common, you will find GNU libraries mentioned in DCS products even as well as most commercial software. But that name... ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
