Very few if any ever get on the server now so a few of us are getting into MicroSofts Flight Simulator X. It's kinds fun and we can even wreck each other. If you have it the server name on GameSpy (when it's up) is HiGrip Flyers. It's usually up about 8pm CST. If not Elim or Dicer Dave Or Hardman may have one up. We fly ouy of different areas, tonite it's Soeul, Korea.

Here's a screen shot of Myself, DicerDave, Hardman and Tyler Stevens flying from London to Dublin in FSX at 15000 ft. We're doing that most every night now on the "HIGRIP FLYERS" server connecting via Gamespy. I still check the server but most nites I see it's empty and sometimes I forget to check. We got some video to so I'll put that on You Tube and post link here.

In FSX some have not quite mastered the use of the Garmin GPS system (I'm one on them) but there's no need to, it's just a game. For those of use that get online and fly, however, I decided to put up a video that shows just enough to set it up for a "direct line" to an airport. When you do that and have it set in GPS mode it shows some extra stuff to you, mainly the distance to the airport your going to and the ETE. This also gives me a chance to try out my new camcorder, a Canon HG21 HD, I have to say, I'M IMPRESSED with it. So don't laugh when watching, I'm not a teacher and may babble a bit but I think it's only 16 minutes or so. The aircraft used was a 747 but the Garmin is the same for all. In the beginning I say a view is 2d cockpit but it's actually 3d, I then go to the 2d cockpit. My blood/sugar was low, really...honest.... It's in the WMV format so it may stream a portion first, the file is about 116meg. See it HERE
