New toy - Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Yeah - I know it's not about motorcycles, but the scenery and topography are fantastic!

I just ran a flight from Ulrichen to Meiringen - over the Furka, left at Andermatt, loop the Vierwaldstattersee, south at Luzern and over Interlaken.

Road detail was such that I could fly VFR and know where I was - Grimsel road on the left - Furka dead ahead. As I flew down the Sch?llenen Gorge the road to the Sustem Pass rose out of Wassen and I could see it climbing up the side of the mountain.

I even did a touch and go on the straight stretch between Realp and Andermatt.

I know what I'm gonna do this winter :-)

the danger of doing too much FS over roads you'll be riding is that when you actually ride them, it's just too easy to forget you're not in a 'plane. :roll:

While we're a bit OT, does anyone out there play World Of Warcraft?
