Fun!

This is the most fun I have ever had interacting with a flight simulation program. I will concede that this software is not a fully optioned simulator; but that is also a bit of the fun. Because the simulator takes care of some of the lengthy startup steps (which can be fun too!), and places key controls at your fingertips in about 6 different well-summarized and easily accessible control panels, it achieves a very considerate mix between realism and your “imagination” - that’s called “playtime”, in my opinion - not "work time". On the other hand, I have seen programs where you get only a few control inputs: throttle, aileron, gear, and maybe flaps/slats; no - not here, not with Rortos - this program offers quite a bit more, while keeping the approach simple; you get: throttle, aileron, gear, flaps/slats, speed brake, auto pilot with speed/heading/altitude-or verticle speed, lock and unlock landing gear, cargo door, engine switch, engine starter, engine fire suppressant, fuel balance/dump, great readouts, and flexible “views”. About 99% of the controls can be accessed via a simple keyboard - you don’t have to invest in a joystick - although, using the joystick is likely even more fun/realistic because these are clearly “Airbus-based” planes (yes!!). I love Boeing, the history, the brand itself, the “City of Everett” 747; however, Airbus is pretty sexy, these days - and it speaks to my Italian/French heritage (:o) So….that’s it - enjoy, it will give you hours of enjoyment by helping your brain disconnect with the world for just a few minutes (or hours) while you “imagine” yourself landing in the warm and sunny Bahamas, the cold Alps, awesome Sydney, sexy Rome, old-world Sicily, sophisticated Paris, stately London, historic Moscow, and the list is only limited by your imagination! :)
