I am so bored.

I haven't played any form of flight simulator for months, I don't have a games console (sold my PS3 - there are only so many times you can shoot somebody in the face, then teabag them)

Any suggestions ?
Any good book recommendations ?
Any good videos I could watch on the internet ?

Any thoughts will be appreciated. . . .I might go suicidal with this boredom.

Thanks

Well I would reccommend Michael Moore's collection of documentaries (Bowling for Columbine/Sicko). Both can be watched on youtube and both are just over 2 hours long.
 
VERY interesting. I watched Bowling For Columbine first over three years ago and always watch it now and again.

Yes it is. Have you watched Sicko? Also, you could watch Farenheit 9/11, but (not me) alot of people belive that Moore's points are unreasonable. I just think he hits people direct. Too direct for some.

Get DCS:BS or find an old copy of Falcon4.0 and mod it - you'll have plenty to keep you busy for a good 2 years or so whilst you just learn to master them.

Best regards,
Vulcan.

ohoh - I knew I'd find the other person in the world with Black Shark installed ..  I actually still prefer Flaming Cliffs - esp as I finally have a system that does not hide in the corner when I click on that icon.  Heck pick up a cheap copy of IL2:1946..I still fire it up at least once a week and i've been with that series since 2002.

DCS:BS is not that heavy - run it at a high res and turn AA off - makes the difference between 10 FPS and 80 FPS here (that is not an exaggeration).

I can also fly in a heavy MP environment with all the eye-candy and it is still smooth. I did find that NVG kills the perf though. Good job it is equipped for IFR.

Best regards,
Vulcan.

Depends what books you like, but I'd reccomend "When We Were Orphans"

Plywood is a composite material you know. The qualities of each material combine to make it more than the sum of it's parts.
