  1. quote:Originally posted by DREADA: Nowadays, if I'm not aboard my Stormcarrier fine-tuning my probe network as part of my spying duties in Gammulan-space or beaming down planetside for shoreleave with my Exploratory Away Team, then I'll be playing FS2002, de-icing my triple-7 midway across a wintry Atlantic whilst setting ILS frequencies and worry about correct altimeter calibrations for landing in pitch darkness somewhere in Europe - and I love it!! Ah, a man after my own heart. While I'm fairly new to BCMG, what I really love about the game is its similarity to flight sims. I love the open-ended universe, the incredible detail, the ability to set your own agenda and the opportunities to actually use your imagination while playing the game. Those are many of the same factors I love about FS2002. Man, I'm addicted to that game. There's nothing like plotting your route from LaGuardia Airport through two connections to New Zealand, and flying a B747 through real-time weather, dealing with air traffic control and having the time to watch some gorgeous scenery along the way. Fun stuff.
  2. Excellent advice, Chavik. Thanks!
  3. I recently picked up BCMG after hearing raves from some friends. My initial reponse, after fiddling around for a few hours, is: Wow. This game is impressive, unlike anything I've seen before. Kudos to Derek and the rest of his team for creating a real, virtual universe for us to explore. OK, now here's my real question for the veterans: What's the best strategy for really getting into the game and conquering the learning curve? Is it best to start with a "Roam" campaign and start flying around? Is the Advanced Campaign a good place to start, or will I simply get slaughtered right away? Or maybe work through the instant action scenarios? Also, how quickly did it take most of you to build your skills enough to survive exploring the galaxy? Any advice would be helpful. And again, I just can't overstate how cool this game is, and how much I'm looking forward to really immersing myself in it.
