Kite Simulators??
Hey fellas.
I'm just curious if anyone has ever tried out a kite simulator for pc? Just for fun I looked it up and found a couple, and was wondering if these type
of things would give a guy any idea how a kite handles. My kite comes in like two weeks so I'm getting impatient. If anyone could shed some light on
this it would be great. Thanks.
what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

Which ones have you tried. The few that I found didn't impress me, although if you've got nothing better to do...  |

I have Wii active life and think it is pretty poor. I enjoy using the balance board much more. If they could marry the kite game to the balance board
it would be much better.

A brief description can be found here:

My suggestion is be patient as NOTHING comes close to the real thing.
It is kinda fun though when you need to pass the time and its portable. |

Wow! I appreciate the offer Mac! I got home from work to get an e-mail that my kite will be shipped out on Monday morning. If all goes right my kite
should be in for next weekend. I should be able to hold off till then. Busy week next week anyway so I wouldn't have time to go out. It's hard top
believe though that I ordered my kite over a month ago. Oh well, I downloaded that flysim game kinda neat but got kinda bored fast. Anyway thanks for
the input guys!

19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
