Flight Adventure 2

[flynlion]

Just tried the free demo versions of both "Air Legends" and "Air Combat Desert Aces". Both had zero flight physics and were totally arcadey as you might expect, no surprise there. The real surprise continues to be Pope's Flight Adventure 2. Amazing that a handful of independant gamers can produce something that flies as nice and looks as pretty as this. It's far from perfect, of coarse, but for this price you really can't beat it. Most of the big name high dollar "flight sims" (I'm beginning to hate that phrase) aren't any where near as good. Go figure.

did you try the original flight adventure? its made by the same guys...and looks promising for just free flight and practicing landings. looks like you fly around in a 152 or tomahawk looking ac.. air legends looked pretty hokie...and air combat i wasnt exspecting much. but both of these look rather interesting.

Hi Bobby

Havn't tried Flight Adventure 1 yet, just couldn't get interested in flying around in a single engine trainer LoL But now after seeing what a good job they did with version 2, I just might give the FA 1 demo a try

had a chance to screw around with them last night. and flight adventure and FA2 will work with the ace edge stick. your throttle wont be the throttle tho. d-pads on that quad work it well enough and like lion said.. your rudder is backwards. i didnt get into it enough to see if you could invert that axis.it takes a little getting used to but within a few moments you ( after you figure out which button does what ) you are off to the races in FA2. FA, the rudder is a little tricky. taking off was hystarical. like in real life you have to hold rudder when full throttle to go straight down the runway. the ace edge rudder was a tad touchy. i also wish that BoP or BoS would have the guages set up like it does. would make virtual pilot view really nice! but i think it would get boring pretty quickly doing free flights by yourself...but for around $2.50usd. what the heck....

air combat wouldnt work with my stick. i had to hold the left rudder paddle down to keep from firing and other things made it too complicated. plus you cant look around. in all honesty though, i like the speed of the game and the view from the cockpit...just not the cockpit.

I just set the demo to download. I'll take a peek when I get home. If it's any good at all I'll definitely buy it. I want to support both Flight Sims AND Indie Developers so this is right up my alley.

I'll have to download this when I get home. Looks interesting.
