The only jet that gives you any forward viz at all is the Airbus; however, it has a fatal flaw in that when you switch on the autopilot, you loose the ability to steer the aircraft regardless of the autopilot mode.

There is a fatal flaw in Flight Simulator X, and I cannot recommend it

I have MS FS 2004 and X-plane 8 and let me tell you I deleted MS FS 2004 as fast as I could

I've run FS9 on several machines with a variety of graphics cards and processor speeds, and although it runs faster or slower as you might expect, it's still fundamentally the same experience

So to wrap up - I highly recommend this simulator to any Aerolover as myself
