Take a relaxing flight - at the controls - this is cool

Move your cursor over the screen, and you will have the impression, you are flying over the mountains. Needs sound

  4. You can do that with real scenery with Google Earth. Cntl/g to get stick (left button) and throttle (right button) control mode. Cruise the mountains inverted if you want.

    Or any flightsim with scenery, for example the venerable MS. Pick a jet.

    Thanks, Theo. Exceptional! Reminiscent of the opening credits in "Where Eagles Dare". And Jean Michel Jarre (Oxygene 4) is a bonus! He's the best electronic musician alive. Period.

    Wow... but it's crash proof?

    And I couldn't figure out how to fire the gun... Is it space bar? CTRL-F12? How do you cycle through targets? Select ordnance?

    Then again, I didn't see any Taliban...

  9. You'd really like Ace Combat for PS2 and PS3

    Excellent game-play, story lines, scenery, action ...

  10. The sound is great, although a bit monotonous. Scenery ... looks like here, right outside of Anchorage in the winter.
