Disappointed

This was the first flight simulator I've used, and after reading some rave reviews about it, I was really disappointed with the scenery. I was expecting much more color and detail, but found too much generic patterns that didn't turn me on. I have a 500 MHz PIII with 128 megs of RAM. The planes are fun, but the scenery was really boring with a lot of flickering and visual instability. I ran the program on my friend's 1 Gig Athlon with 258 megs of RAM and a Nvidia G2 graphics accelerator, but there was no real difference. I was also disappointed at the lack of shadow from the planes as they approach the ground, which means that there's no way of telling how close you are until you crash.

I played this game for about 6 hours total, then got bored and uninstalled it. It's quite a lot of fun, the planes are nice, but the scenery is a drag.

Looking for Flight Unlimited II

I love FU III ... but I feel that the San Francisco plates from FU II is ESSENTIAL. I cannot find anyone who still has FU II for sale but would very much like to purchase a copy. FU III has been hours of fun for me. I visited Seattle in 1960 ( a loooong time ago) and I love the great northwest. This is the next best thing to being there.

Anyone who wants to sell FU II at a less than retail price contact me at llmiller@vnet.net.

why cant you use the jetliners that are shown in the pick an aircraft screen? That irritates me. other than that this game is one of the best flight sims i've ever played. this game is very realistic and very customizable. i use a sidewinder precision 2 joystick and it just makes flight a breeze. if your into flight sims you wouldn't be doing bad buying this game. oohhh another thing is that i would like the graphics to be a little better...but thats just me...i'm a graphice freak!!!

Can't get it to run on my Profile 2.

I can't get this to run! Even after reading all the documentation, and trying this and that and more, it won't recognize my joystick (and pedals). The flight control surfaces are stuck in extreme positions, leading to immediate crash during take-off roll.

(Note: I have a Gateway Profile 2, with Celeron 466. Plus MS sidewinder professional joystick, plus Cirrus rudder pedals).

Ruben Happy landings.
