Cons:You need a REALLY GOOD computer to run this game well

Please remember that the $200-$1200 computers you see in the stores will have difficulty in "playing" this game and get decient framerates

My computer exceeds the required specifications of a computer yet this barely runs.

I have a fast enough computer and even turned down all the graphics to bare minimum and still can't play a game without a glitch.

Stick to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 if you do not have "hot rod" computer

We buy that and we are thinking return, You can't see the software using a normal computer you have to buy first a super computer to run that

First you need a top notch computer to play with good graphics and high settings

I still have the ability to use this DVD MSFSX on two other computers, so I am seriously thinking of buying a new desk top computer to see if it will run this program without stopping every thirty minutes, which requires a time consuming restart and will not allow me to use more complex features of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Too slow to be usable!Don't waste you money unless you have a super fast computer.

Overall this is a great game, if you have great computer I highly recommend it

When I run this on a basic computer it is painfully slow, prone to lockup and not a lot of fun (more frustrating than fun).Now that I have a proper computer I can see that it runs well, although still very slow to load

There are more airports and new planes (Airbus 321) and the graphics are much more detailed, but it takes a more powerful computer to run this sim.

It requires a powerful computer and a fast graphics card but it is a lot of fun to fly.

I have a pretty "hot" desktop computer, so installation of the program via the DVD's went

Excellent game great quality especially if you have a good computer to match it...

Maybe microsoft will realize this simulator is a resource hog and tweak it so you don't need super-computer to run it

I have a computer that I built myself (2.66GHZ 2GB ram and a 512MB video card) and it works great

and then lose everything because the software locked up the computer and thereafter refuses to run.

Also, ever since my computer has been running slower than regular

The only complaint is that you need a very powerful computer to run the game on max textures

The ONLY thing that is a negative is that it may slow your computer

I thought I had more than enough computer power to pull this off (Pentium 4, 1.00GB RAM, 111GB Hard Drive, 2.80 GHz processor), but evidently not.

Great flight sim with the right computer

You can play this game on a cheap computer if you like flying over a terrain that looks like the moon

Get over it folks, your computer is inferior, so don't dog a good game

When I run this on a basic computer it is painfully slow, prone to lockup and not a lot of fun (more frustrating than fun).Now that I have a proper computer I can see that it runs well, although still very slow to load

However, you might want to empty your wallet a few hundred dollars, because without a very good computer, you'll just see slideshows

I'm not sure what kind of crappy computers people are buying these

I can only assume that MS outfits their developers with Helium cooled super computers.

If you don't have a fast computer, or average speed, don't even bother buying this

The plane responds to the controls much like "the real thing".Like other reviewers, I must agree that you must have a great computer.

Cons:You need a REALLY GOOD computer to run this game well

With FSX, the frame rates often grind to a halt when using complex aircraft at large airports (using a computer with quad core processor

It does however take a powerful computer to enjoy this game fully

I'm simply going to buy another FS2004, and hold on to FSX until I get a substantially better computer

Anyway the first plane took off, and after more instruction I got myself on to the runway as the computer, still playing my copilot, jabbered away about heights, angles, vectors and some similar

If you have a decent computer but it.

But based on the demo performance, my computer will not work adequately for X - bottom line

By all means buy it.....but plan on leaving it on your shelf for a couple of years unless you have the money to buy the best fastest computer on the planet

Keep thee settings down with an older or less powerful computer

Unless you have a really fast computer it's going to run slowly.

Requires significant computer resources!

My computer is not very powerful but setting the graphics at normal/mid-low and it plays really smooth

Sure slower computers are going to need to move all the sliders down, and I had to do that for my laptop, but it is still a fun game, and definitely a recommended buy.

so unless you have a reely fast computer, save yourself the stress.

Make sure you have a very fast computer and you will be delighted.

I would recommend running a powerful computer when using this software.

The visuals are AWESOME if you have a great computer.

I really liked the graphics in this game but if you have a slow computer (below 1.0 cpu speed and 128 mb or below graphic card

Firstly you need a good computer to get decent frame rates

There a learning curve but it isn¡¦t that steep -- at first.
