Just came across this interesting, but somewhat unusual, site. Fellow FTer's here, check it out and let me know what you think.

I loved my MSFT Flight Sim for years. However, I am just too cheap to buy a new computer right now (bought 3 new ones in the past 2 years) and the technology just gets better and better 
I own Flight Sim X and my system is too slow to get the graphics and speed I would like. I guess that's the tradeoff of not being a real gamer, except for the flying on Flight Sim every now and then.

FS X actually works better on my 5-yr old Dell laptop running XP, but it's still nearly impossible to activate anything but the most basic level of gfx, the quality of which is inferior to FS 9.

Seriously, though, one of the best things about jetBlue is that elicits such unreasonable passions. One of the positive side effects for those of us who continue to fly B6 is that the really angry passengers who hate jetBlue are flying on other airlines...

I'm a supporter of virtual airlines for MSFS however the person that "owns" this virtual airline is a bona fide moron...However FT TOS does not allow me to flame someone , even though that person is not a member of FT I will give him due respect but with a heeding...He is a world class moron who needs to focus on middle school and getting through high school instead of some fascination and he has a tendency to take stuff without asking

I'm pretty damn good at FS, and joined virtual United a few years back. But when I realized that they you can't leave your computer or play in accelerated time mode when flying a transcon, I decided having a real life had to take precedence.

In a somewhat related note, has anyone tried out that news FS X expansion? Finally I saw Microsoft put some military metal into the game and added the F/A-18?
