To Dream, to fly - adventures in flight simming reviewed at MiGMan's Flight Sim Museum




To Dream, to fly - adventures in flight simming It just gets better So after 20 years of home flying what's next? Well, 64 meg Geforce cards and 2,000 Khz CPU's are already standard specs in new home computer systems. RAM prices have dropped to the point where it's no longer a question of "how much RAM can I afford?", but rather "how much RAM do I want?". Matrox is releasing a card which supports 3 monitors all running a 3D accelerated display. Flat screen monitors are getting cheaper. Thrustmaster has released the Thrustmaster H.O.T.A.S. Cougar - a totally accurate metal reproduction of the F-16 Falcon control stick and throttle. Aimsworth in Thailand continue developing their home cockpit range. The Russian software houses seem be working on a the principle of 'evolution' rather than 'revolution'. Microsoft Microsoft has put serious money into their flight sim division and regard Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 as their flagship entertainment product. With new generations of video technology hitting the shelves every year now and flexible displays well into development I can only confidently predict only one thing ... That we will look back from 2022 and shake our heads at all this primitivism in wry bemusement!		Back to To Dream, to fly
