    @Lllusionx: Only us hardcore types. I actually managed to get a friend to join me in some MSFSX time at a LAN Party once, but he didn't own Acceleration so we didn't get to do an air race, and if I picked the hornet, he saw me as an ultralight. A REALLY freakin' fast ultralight, but still...

    "Territories: Global excluding CIS, United Kingdom, US and North America"


    That made me think about what it means to be human.


    Or the likes.

    @Harpa: Means as far as that game goes, a publishing deal for other regions was already in place.

    Matcham for the DS looks really great on still pictures. Will kee an eye out for that one.


    Also, hope Pyroblazer does well, im looking forward it's release on the Wii, its like Wipeout meets Descent, but will surely have a hard time pleasing fans of both.

    >the first successful water landing of a commercial aircraft in 45 years,


    And now all the "hero" claims make a lot more sense.

    The creators obviously never saw the REAL Hudson. I think every NYer's jaw would drop if they ever saw water that blue. ;-)

    I am a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE flier....worse than you could possibly imagine....I know I live in Japan, but trust me....getting here/going back to the states is NOT a pretty sight.


    Its so bad that my ex-girlfriend refused to sit next to me on the plane because I was making such a scene.


    Anyway, although I don't think I will ever be 'cured' of my phobia, I did have a business trip to China over the weekend, and I felt a little safer up there knowing that the guy behind the controls might be just as bad-ass as Mr. Sullenberger

    His talent as a pilot has nothing to do whit it. On the news they said it was a MIRACLE that the plane could land on the water whitoutany deaths.


    Thank sensationnalist news station for not giving any merit to the pilot.

    I think the nickname "Sully" is also pretty bad-ass.

    But he did some incredible stuff, and a lot of people are thankful for it. A lot of news stories are overplayed and over-analyzed, but I don't mind that if they do it with this, considering we don't get happy news too often.


    Now, I wonder how hard that is to do on the flight sim? I mean, the former pilot they interviewed said you can't prepare for it in a sim.

    I thought Just Flight specialised in Aircraft simulation addons, not the simulators themselves.

    "Bad-ass" is indeed the only way to describe Mr. Sullenberger. If ever someone deserved to be called a bad-ass, it is he.
