For the last 16 months all I've seen of VATSIM are a bunch of green dots that move around...but if it's the same as it was the last time I did a flight online, it's as realistic as you can get without flying a real plane. Especially if you get a good controller.

SB4 is coming out for fsx but all i can say is i won't play flightsim unless i am playing online. It is as real as you can get like the other guy said without actually flying real life.

Flying online certainly is the next best home solution to flying for real ... only problem is my machine dont like the opposition ( FSINN ) so cant use it, now im only using FSX I cant do no more online flying until the release of SB4 Crying or Very sad

Come on all feel sorry for me ...

Once you have flown on-line, you will not go back to flying off-line. It puts a whole new realism aspect to flight simming. Very Happy
