In my experience, Abacus Publishing has had a nasty habit of selling very mediocre products at full pop. However, I must admit that Flight Deck 3 is actually a very decent package. I was most impressed by the carrier and I can't say I've seen a prettier one for FS2002 anywhere - payware or freeware. The textures are done very nicely (screenshots on Abacus' website don't do it justice) and it also sports moving radar dishes and a modeled lower deck. The elevators don't work, however, and a flag fluttering in the breeze would have been nice. The deck does have some static vehicles and crewmen, but no static aircraft. Night-lighting is also done nicely, though a more knowledgeable bloke informed me that it is not completely accurate and the carrier is conspicuously missing a meatball. While the carrier does have a wake painted in the water, the ship...

Flight Deck 3 is just plain fun. The catapult launch is great. The only change I would like to see is an upgrade that would simulate a more realistic cable stratch at trap. The stop is sudden and takes some of the excitement of wondering "if I am going to stop" out of the landing.Thanks 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful  Flight Deck III Questions, A Kid's Review = Fun: This review is from: Flight Deck 3 (CD-ROM) I will agree with most of the other reviews that Flight Deck III is a good add-on. However, I am dissappointed with the carrier landing system. No arrestor cable in existance can stop an aircraft on a dime. Does Abacus have any add-ons dealing with an aircraft carrier that's more realistic. What i mean by this is moving elevators, animated crew, and static aircraft on the deck. I have to add that the carriers don't move, and there aren't any other aircraft landing or taking off. Last, I noticed that the ATC system isn't operational on the carrier. If anyone knows of such an add-on, please reply |
