Flight to Seattle
Aside from Doom, many years ago, about the only game I’ve ever enjoyed playing much on a PC is MS FlightSim. Imagine how gutted I was by the news of the closure of the Aces Game Studio.
Anyway, I still have FSX, the latest version, and as a slightly anxious flyer I like to prepare for long journeys by trying to make the flight myself – epecially the landing. So for our upcoming trip to the US Northwest I have a 747 in BA livery and I’m going to plan the flight from LHR into Seattle with as much realism as I can build in.
Here’s another tip for nervous passengers. Keep your eyes on the faces of the cabin crew. As long as they look bored you know you’re ok.
