UFO flight simulator
This is excellent. A bunch of UFO conspiracy nuts have created an add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator -- which simulates a TR-3B Astra Locust, a supposed antigravity-style plane being engineered at Area 51. Load this freeware into MFS, and you can pilot your own UFO! From their web site:
This TR-3B is a heavy tactical reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a magnetic field disruptor that reduces the weight by 89 percent (it is not the same as anti-gravity, though). It has been created for FS2002 PRO, but will run on FS2002 as well. All gauges are included.
The TR-3B can float like a speedboat at Mach 1.5 over water, fly like a heavy helicopter, like a bush plane, a business jet, like a military jet and lift like a rocket. Cruise speed is approx Mach 4.7 at FL340 and above, and approx Mach 2 at sea level. Service ceiling approx 69,000 feet ASL. Super stable.
The ergonomic new age panel (over 130 gauges!) can be switched between shades of holographic titanium and has digital and analog gauges, including autopilot, engine controls, GPS coupled NAV, ADF, VOR/NAV, 3D HUD, 2D ILS HUD, engine controls, light controls, NAV/COM, AIradar, cabin crew calls, including a fully referenced kneeboard and FS2002 ATC & MAP enabled. The panel has slightly changed now, leaving out a few redundant gauges.
Extensive documentation, including graphic panel chart, helps you learning to fly this complex craft. You will need a mouse and joystick with both hands to operate this craft.
The picture above illustrates the size of a TR-3B, compared to a 747. You gotta go to this site and check out the screenshots of the instrument panel for this craft.
Looks like that looooong graphic is stretching my blog template sideways. Oh well!
(Thanks to Boing Boing for finding this one!)

Well thankyou someone else has come up with the idea of having a ufo simulator. I have seen about half a dozen ufos from ball sized ufos to cigar ufos. And thats why I am intrested in this stange phenunama. It was not untill about 18 months ago looking round several of my local computer shops that there was no such game out so I started to write a few missions out just incase a game like this came out a few of the missions were flying a ufo through a thunder storm trying not get hit by lightning e.g this is said to have happend at Roswell in 1947. Another mission I thought of was landing on the white house lawn for a dare and then trying to escape from the air force.

Hello Again.
Well another thing which I forgot was I also plotted where there could be U.F.O bases e.g in remote areas of the world the antartic, deserts w one ufo base was reported to be in an old railway tunnel could you imagine that trying to land a ufo into a tunnel entrance. But what sort of power would a U.F.O fly on solar energy or normal aviation fuel.

It would be great flying at high speeds across the diffents countrys of the world avoiding being shot down by the different kinds of air defences for example over each country you fly over the different kinds of jet figters change you could be flying over the United kingdom and you could come face to face with a Raf harrier which is trying to shoot you down or you could be flying over Russia and you could come face to face with a Mig.
U.F.O's sightings will always happen and I think we will never ever find out what they are beings from another planet or who knows they could be time travellers from the future it's one of those questions which no one can answer who are they and where do they come from.
