You can't keep me down... Tablet PCs in the air!

The first game played on PC Flight Sim 3.0, funny how much has stayed the same in that program.

You know - just like the little map in the corner of your screen in video games.  It shows where you're at, what direction your heading, and shows nearby locations and goodies.  Keeps track of your travel automatically. 

Anytime you cover aviation and avionics, you're covering a subject very near and dear to my heart.  I grew up playing microsoft flight simulator and my love for aviation was a big factor in my decision to enlist in the Air Force where I work with...avionics and instrumentation.  I am still a rabid fan of microsoft flight sim.  Any news on when FSX will finally land?

...and the Sopwith Camel better be in it!

Right on!  Real life emulating video games, good stuff...

I'd like a mini map in the corner of my car's windshield.

So would I.  A dash mounted GPS is pretty close now a days.

I could never learn to fly. I´ve tried a few flight sim games and it wasn`t pretty. I´d probably grab the wheel (?) "a la Laura" at the end of the segment. I think I´ll stick to driving games instead.

Oh, here is my second on10 wallpaper from the last 2 weeks:

Hope you guys like it.

I also adapted it to different sizes so shall I post them here, on flickr, or send them by email??

Very nice segment, Laura.

It has been a LONG time, since I played Flight Simulator. I should checkout that series, again.They should make a Xbox 360 version.

Anyway, the tablet stuff is interesting. Pretty sweet technology, indeed.

Although, I must say that flying a plane, while trying to use a tablet, I guess wouldn't be as dangerous, as someone trying to drive, while talking on a cell-phone. Imagine someone trying to drive, while using a tablet...

BTW, have we been having some kick-ass weather lately, or what?

Hey nice! The "Do I have to go to the Dentist" pic is awesome

Post them on Flickr tagged with "on10", and we'll pull them off there and link them on the Downloads page.

Thanks, yeah Laura´s expression there is priceless!

 I´ll post them there.
