Yes thanks Dave. I'm into Flight Simulation now and have been for quite a while. I am one of the original members
www.swfsg.co.uk here. The software is so good and accurate that even Boeing now train their pilots using it. One of the leaders in this are

My other love is using 'Live for Speed'
www.lfs.com in multi-player. You can even compete with the free download on one track and is satiating my 'buzz' that I used to get while I was Motorcycle Racing, It's that good!
I also run the Racing Section at
http://forum.iemit.com/Default.aspx?g=forum and still manage to beat youngsters a quarter of my age which is very satisfying. When you racing against say; someone in Australia, Ukraine, Hungary and many other places including the UK and beating them, it's very good for my brain activity which we should all be interested in doing as we get older. 'LFS' has the most realistic graphics of any game/simulator out there.
My other (not so often lately) enjoyment is, 'Rail Simulator'. Ten times better than 'Microsoft Train Simulator' and as I remember my time on the railways, more than 95% authentic even down to the power/amperage building up on controller positions and the field weakening system accurately shown as well. The steam sounds are more realistic as are the diesel sounds too. I thoroughly recommend this to you all and a friend I have 'Ken D,ath' also took my recommendation and achieves much pleasure for this great memory tweak. You can even sleepin before working your engine/train and that's something we never had before haha.
