Don't let the idyll fool you. I just recently found out my neighbors are actually sentiels manning disguised artillery turrets, and that the Swiss Alps are all hollow and full of Fallout-style Vaults - Switzerland is actually Latveria, hellbent on world domination from its secret underground kingdom.

Just have a look at these highly classified documentaries...

The entire time you flew over Switzerland, expertly camouflaged guns were trained on you. The more you know...

As a Swiss, I can confirm that our rivers are hard as rocks and our trees don't actually exist.

Despite the lack of options and weapons, they still managed to make this into one of the best Flight Club videos. That must be applauded.

That co-pilot is nightmare fuel.

Hey Drew. A Cuban 8 is basically 2 Immelmann turns that are linked together so that your plane is seen to be flying a figure 8 pattern when viewed from the side. Start your loop, when you pass the apex of the loop and are now diving inverted towards the ground at a 45 deg angle, conducta a 1/2 roll to right your plane again, gain speed, then start your second loop and repeat the 1.2 snap roll at the 45 deg angle a second time. Manouevre complete.

Everyone got really sad when they couldn't flip any switches in the cockpit.

Despite the new setting of Switzerland, this one having no functional controls while in the cockpit compared to the other flight sim games shown on GB makes it look like it's not as much fun to play. Would have been nice to throw in some kind of funny animation on the biplane pilot (after watching for a while or crashing) to make it more interesting.

It just depends on what you want. This game is good for someone who just wants to fly around some gorgeous scenery, attempt some aerobatic maneuvers with realistic physics, or try out piloting a glider on tricky mountain thermals.

Like racing games (from Mario Kart to Burnout to Forza to iRacing), there is a spectrum to the "simishness" of flight sims. This falls more on the pleasure flying end, with games like Microsoft Flight. In the middle of the spectrum are things like IL-2 and Wings of Prey, where you have to manage fuel mix and prop angle and stuff (on higher difficulties), but still have a ton of fun shooting dudes. If your goal is to actually learn the ins and outs of every system of an aircraft, then something like DCS or Microsoft Flight Simulator X is more your speed. They're all fun in their own way!

Damn, got a serious headache from all the laughing while watching this. Dave, Drew and Vinny can make any game hilarious and exciting. Not saying this game looks bad though, but feels like it's kinda in a middle ground area where I don't know if there's much of an audience.

By the way, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the wind making them unable to land on that mountain, looked more like a collision issue to me.

Hey, awesome, my granddad built and flew a Pitts Special, painted just like the one in here! I think his was a single-seat open cockpit, though. He really loved that plane, and named it "Pretty Kitty." He can't fly it anymore due to Alzheimer's, but I have a lot of great memories of him and that plane. Thanks for bringing those back to me!
