I know it isn’t a sport but I wonder if there are any more Flightsimmers around:

Amazing looking new flightsim just around the corner:

I bought the very first version of Microsoft Flight Simulator in 1983. It was great fun.

This one is supposed to be incredible, but it might just be too realistic for me, as I get motion sick in planes :(. Does it come with a barf bag?

I've seen Danny O'Dwyer, of the great YouTube channel No Clip, tweeting about this.

I don't think I ever played a Flight Sim, but I always loved that round on the Krypton Factor.

It has loads and loads of user assists and customization possibilities!

Is there an option to turn off throw ups? :lol

I'd certainly try a demo, if there is one. Although not many games have demo versions these days.

Yes, I've been reading the articles and watching the videos. It uses an incredible 2 petabytes of online data to map the world.

Do you have an early version?
Yes I am part of the Alpha/Beta tester program. Under a strict NDA but there is enough out there to safely say that it is an absolutely brilliant piece of software!

Do you control it with a gamepad or do you have a yoke (or whatever it's called)?

Ha indeed! With this thing you really can fly anywhere in the world and it looks very authentic.

It looks brilliant, pity that I don't have a PC capable enough to run it or an Xbox:

well the shadow has been delayed from July- Aug to Oct and who really knows then.It will probably be on xbox by then anyway though it won't be as good as the pc version.It does look fantastic though.
