FSX is after all - a Game. Where is the SECRETS document?

I'm always looking for good hash products

 

Me too...........

GO AROUND.

 

This game has been around long enough that somebody, by now, must have compiled a list of causes and effects. "if you do this, then it will cause the program to teach you a lesson."

 

For the 18,675th time: MSFS IS NOT A GAME. It was designed as a serious flight simulation program, and still is, as far as I'm concerned. If some people choose to treat it as a game, fine. You can do that with any activity, even real flight, I suppose (but I don't want to be on that plane!)

Let those that wish to `play` do whatever they want.

I will NEVER regard FSX as a `game` - and I still don't with P3D.

It's a game or a Sim depending on what you're doing with it. If you're flying in a mundane default aircraft and not following real procedures, then it's just a game. But if you have a full fledged simulated aircraft like something from PMDG, follow SID and STARs, etc, then it's a Sim.

I’ve always pondered over the terminology and I really think it needs to be re-ramped in light of exactly what you say. When you search the internet you will find the full range of descriptors. Game, simulator, flight simulator game, flight simulator, simulation video game etc. Clearly, if aviation flight schools use the program as a teaching tool with FAA approval, it is clearly not a game. On the other hand, Microsoft Flight Simulator is being published by Xbox Game Studios for Game Pass subscribers.

Here you go Laurie, thought I would provide the illustration! Oh, and I don't really care how it is classified, I use the program as a flight simulator!

Where do we find the high score?

[tiger1962]

The 'high score' can be found on the Pilot Records screen in the main menu.

As CRJ says, FS can be both a game and a sim - if you search the net for simulator, most sites list flight sims in this order:

PC - Games - Simulation - Flight Simulator

FSX Secrets document. I know, it's not what you are looking for but still, I guess you could call this a FSX secret document. Simtour FSX

 

Been using this site for years. Use it for mapping my around the world tour ! Very cool !

 

Volcanoe erupting in Hawaii. Change the time to a night of year 1983. Takeoff from Hilo Intl airport (PHTO), climb and maintain 5000 ft, and fly heading 204 for 23 nm. Return to PHTO on VOR 116.90.
