  1. Cool!  You fly that big bird to it's destination?  I can guarantee all those poor passengers would be screaming for their lives if I were to give it a go!  My sim license only covers F-16's which fly way faster than airliners, and the A-10C's which fly slower than that ground crewman loading baggage (if he were to flap his arms really fast).

    ;)

  2. This is one of the reasons I love Elite Dangerous!  The freedom to fly around and check stuff out, land and search a lunar surface for some material that can be used to make the ship faster/better;  most games you can do a little "exploring" but then there's no main rewards for it - just a side trip off the sandbox stories.  In Elite, you could do all your ranking up and gain all of your cash just by exploring, if you wanted.

    Gotta love the eye candy!!

  3. I used to buy cheap joysticks.  Used to buy them every 8 months it seemed... after any warranty was over, of course.  Good brands, too - Saitek, Logitech, etc.  $40-60 per stick adds up.  Not to be a shill, but the Saitek X52 seems to be made of proper electronics and plastics - I've had this same one for well over 3 years now, and it's still working great.  If I have a point here to make, it's that even a used Saitek X52 off Craigslist, Amazon, or Ebay might be a good investment when it's affordable to a gamer because they are made from "the right stuff".  The "Pro" X52 is even sturdier than the one I have, according to friends, and an equally sound investment that will last for thousands of hours of use, unlike the cheap sticks I used to buy.  Try to upgrade someday if find your chosen "cheap" stick failing after only several months of use.  Of course, it's an expensive stick by comparison, but you truly get what you pay for with regards to PC flight sticks.
