Flight Simulator X?

I'm surprised there's not a thread for this - anyone out there playing FS X?

I think its absolutely fantastic. My computer is getting quite middle-of-the-road, and I take it as a good sign that I can barely run it on Medium. The graphics are fantastic at that.

Some of their new "missions" are cool. In one, you and another pilot have to take off, do a loop, flyby, and then return and line up with the runway on precise timing so that you can race a jet-powered SEMI that's parked on the runway.

The one I'm working on right now is the Innsbruck instrument approach. For some damned reason I can't keep the two-prop planes anywhere near ATC's altitude. I'm lucky to keep it within 500 feet.

Anyone else out there got this fantastic game?
