See? Even the professionals do this

Plane misses runway. If I had a pound for every time I'd done this in Flight Simulator, I'd be able to afford a real plane.

Which I would then crash on landing.

Those Russians make sexy aircraft

This is possibly the sexiest, most futuristic aircraft I have ever seen.
It's got something like a million kilos of cargo capacity! (OK, it's less than that, cos some of that million kilos is gonna be fuel, but still...)
I really hope this thing gets built, cos it looks like something out of Buck Rogers.


Someone go use your programming\3d modelling skills to make me it for FSX, pls

Found It!

I tried reinstalling it, which wasted a lot of time but didn't solve matters. But now I've figured it out. Turns out that all games can be accessed via an application in Start -> Games -> Games Explorer, from which you can copy shortcuts to the Desktop.
To be perfectly honest, I much preferred to have an icon put on the Desktop as part of the installation process, but I suppose forcing me to wade through countless menus is a much more efficient way of doing things.

Thanks Bill!

Another Thing I Hate About Windows Vista

SO. I installed MS Flight Simulator X today. It's pretty cool. Except now when I come back to my computer, it's not there. There's no icon on the Desktop. There's no Icon in the Start Menu. There's a few folders in the Program Files folder, but there's nothing actually in them.
According to the packaging, MS FS X "Works great on Windows XP, Works even better on the upcoming Windows Vista". If this is true (why would they lie???), I shudder to think how badly it ran on XP.
