Don't know what you missed.....................

I used to blow them up when I got bored of them. Almost every single fighter or capship I made went down in a blaze of glory before being reduced to its component bricks

I used to put  the fighters/capships I built on a high wooden pole in my garden and then re-inact a "metero shower" - i.e. - I would throw rock at it and blow it to peaces...
I ended up lossing lot's of brick's that way, so I quit...

And yes mikhael...the best thing was building things...ohh...the things I built...some of them would make the official Lego designers jeloaus

LEGO is the BEST toy out there...I enjoyed it...and I would still be playing with them if I hadn't given them away..

Hey DG, is X-plane really all that it's cracked up to be?

i like the X-15 though

The X-15 was a nice NASA toy... but nothing all that usable. Mach 6 is great, but the highest combat plane only went up to Mach 3.15, and it was a soviet fighter.

I think you lot miss the point. The X-15 was a high-altitude hyper-sonic test aircraft used to explore the physics of the upper atmosphere. It was never intended for 'practical' purposes, only to aid the space program. But if the research had continued uninterupted we'd be zipping about in hyper-sonic sub-orbital transports instead of 747s these days

MiG-25 'Foxbat' you're probably thinking of

Do a search, I explained the pros and cons of X-Plane in another thread. Basically it's a shoddy conversion of a dodgy Mac app. The designer, Austin, is no game programmer, he's a physics modeller. You have to really work at X-Plane to get the most out of it (searching for scenery packs and stuff), and plenty of things will just plain annoy you (like the 360 degree sunsets). But for the shear ammount of stuff available for it... it rules. Combined with uber fan-made media, it pisses over MS Flight Sim
