Not really back as just visiting...don't fly sims anymore to few minutes in the
day. Pretty much only enjoy stuff that doesn't force me to learn 300 different
commands to have fun. Pitiful I know but there you go. Have always wanted to put
together a single joystick file that would fly most Jet Sims but have been
unable to find common grounds in the sims I play. Flanker, Falcon, and sometimes
whatever prop sim strikes my fancy.

I have the Falcon Lead Pursuit sim and while its surely a terrific piece of work
have not flown it for more time than it takes me to wonder which damn button
makes the missile go zoom. Flanker became frustrating after I discovered that
there seemed to be several different definitions of front cockpit
view...unamusing to me.

Used to say give me choices but now see the problem in having too much
selection...

I have flow some Su-27 and have to say that the AI and controls are
brilliant...the AI is a lot better to me than Flanker. 4 vs 1 is fun...not
target shooting.

Well there you go now lets let all the fanboys come around and tell me how
hardcore pilots like to do it with 2 million different keystrokes...doesnt
interest me anymore.

The flying is great and I have met some tremendous people in simulations but I
simply don't have the time with 3 children, homeschooling, building an addition
and working 50+ hours a week in addition to keeping my blog going.

Grand Prix Legends on the other hand is hehehe a guilty pleasure of mine. If I
figure out how to program these CH sticks to have one file for all sims I will
be golden.

There far more than anyone wants to know. But maybe some developer still wonders
why people aren't flying as much as they used to...this is my answer.
