Mr Lee Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Rusty and others, to learn to fly they make computer programs, one of my friend gave me a copy for a helicopter but I kept crashing and burning, I guess I am not coordinated enough to fly one of those. I watched him fly it and then watched my wife fly one pretty well with just a few lessons from him, but I never got the knack of it, could be due to the lack of much feelings in my hands.

That's a good idea. Flying use to scare me to death.Then I lived on MS Flight Simulator for a bit. Got obsessed with it. After that, the next time I flew the fear was all gone. But the first few flights I took were very bad flights, heavy thunderstorms and high winds. I might be scared all over again if that happened. But even when that didn't happen, I was scared. It surprised me. I've always wanted to fly. But I've also had a fear of heights so I wasn't that surprised.But after the game, nothing, I was not afraid any more.I don't really have the cash to get into it. I'm doing a bit better in that department and I COULD do it but still not enough cushion that I feel great about doing it.And then there is the problem of my getting out in the sun. :lol: You'd think I'm vampire. :)I did try to contact a few people about it but I've had no luck.

There are some pirate software sites that have the games for free, although I do not condone pirated software, they are there for the taking if one is careful not to also end up with a trojan, virus or spyware within them.
