    Thanks, people!-am i right in thinking you can’t do combat on FSX?-I like to be non-pc on my pc, if you know what i mean

    You can’t engage in combat, as such, on FSX, but you can re-create actual combat missions by reflying the routes, and setting the weather conditions, etc, as they were on a particular day in history – you just need to do the research. Alternatively, take a look at PC Pilot magazine over the last year, where a whole series of combat missions have been recreated, ranging from a high altitude intercept in a Spitfire to a desert ground attack mission in a Hurricane IID.

    Also, its worth bearing in mind that many FSX combat aircraft add-ons have the ability to drop bombs (which admittedly don’t explode), or fire guns. I’m thinking in particular of Just Flight’s Mosquito and P-38 Lightning, and Vertigo Studios SBD Dauntless and F6F Hellcat.

    FSX

    Hi

    FSX does indeed come in standard and deluxe versions. The prime difference with the latter is that it contains a couple of extra aircraft and one of the aircraft also included in the standard version now comes with the option of a “glass” cockpit. When playing online, you can also take the role of Tower Controller if you wish.

    The expansion pack known as Acceleration contains new aircraft and missions, all of which emphasise speed. You don’t need to have acceleration installed, but it certainly adds a lot of fun to your simming experience, and contains a service patch to make FSX run better.

    You can now buy FSX Deluxe Edition and Acceleration in one package, called FSX Gold, from the likes of Play.com for under £20.00. Just install FSX and then, using the second disc in the pack, Acceleration. It does take a while to install, but it’s well worth it!

    Hope this helps.

    Adam.
