Flight Simulator Action Scenery

Rating:
Summary: Limited and not intuative
Review: Unfortunatley, this add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting something alot more robust, free-form and intuative.

This utility is for adding 'action scenery' to your flight simulator experience. However, this actually boils down to being able to use your flight recordings to put more aircraft flying around.

This sounds OK, but it falls down in that you have to literally go into the flight sim and fly the path you want the plane to take. You cannot simply draw a flight path in FS Action itself as you can in programs such as Flight Sim Toolkit. Also, while you can change the shape of the aircraft flying the pattern, you cannot change the model. So, if you fly a pattern with an F-16, the action model will fly as an F-16 even though you make it look like a Cessna later.

The interface is archaic and hard to edit even with the mouse. Although Flight Sim Toolkit came out several years ago, this product pails in comparision. Final Grade: Definatley needs improvement.
