The good thing about this game is free flight.

Best flight sim evere

Really good flight sim

great flight simulator.

It's the best flight

I have to say that this is the best Flight Simulator that Microsoft has ever released.

I am very disappointed with Microsoft - I loaded the Flight Simulator and the programme crashed and told me to re-install it

Bottom line:returned & ordered Flight Simulator 2004 which I rate at 5 stars, also a lot cheaper.

it is really fun flying the planes in either missions or free flight!!!!!!!!!!!!

All in all, with the RIGHT GRAPHICS CARD (still stressing), this game is a winner, providing the most realistic flight simulation available today

The program itself has many problems that to some extent have plagued flight sims of old, albeit to a lesser extent.

I'm not a die hard ultra realistic flight simulator fanatic, I actually like to have fun

I wish there were more of those or you could have a co-pilot for free flight.

I can either get great graphics with a really bad flight or a great flight with practically no graphics at all but not both

This is a great flight simulator very detailed.

Oh, and to cut down on the abysmal flight load speeds, maybe upgrade to SCSI hard drive(s).Of course for that kind of money I could go to ground school at the local

Stalls and slow flight are much more realistic in this version of Flight Simulator than in previous verions.

Great flight sim with the right computer

It took over 2 hours to install and after that,it took 8 mintes to load the game and 22 minutes to load a free flight

Missions include everything from cargo trips to rescue missions to scenic flights around Hawaii, and glider missions

You don't need anymore than 20FPS to have an enjoyable flight experience

Have a great flight!

Start-ups before a flight are also much slower than in FS

It once was the best Flight Simulator for PC on the market

Love Flight Simulator 2000 and this was a huge jump in this genre of game.

I can now trim my aircraft precisely and the flight is rock solid

So, in summary, this is really a great flight simulator but requires extensive research and configuration to get it to where it's playable.

I downloaded flight simulataor x and my computer crashed.

if you scour the web for "FSX tweaks" and spend the time to carefully adjust the sliders and plow through the fsx.cfg file, you will end up with the greatest flight simulator there is!

Great Flight Sim, so many choices, great variety of planes and geography

If you want a realistic flight simulator, buy FS2004 for 1/5th the price.

I was hoping for a working FMC (Flight Management Computer) and a much improved flight planner in this version but no such luck (third party designers have been selling FMC equipped cockpits for FS for years now

There could be 20-30 items to disable*Use a separate flight stick and throttle, keyboard/mouse use is pointless*Add memory /change video card if possible2

Even in Free Flight mode, the player can adjust different settings to change the level of difficulty (like setting component failures and adjusting the realism of the physics).

this game contains many missions and has realistic flight control

In order to have smooth flight, you have to have the graphic settings on low.

I just selected "free flight", Cessna 172, and I selected my local small air field, which should be located just to the east of Nashville, TN

I really am enjoying the flights.

Has "Flying Lessons" with, granted, a guy who has the corniest sense of humor I've ever heard...but humor aside...still really cool and as far as I (a non pilot) can tell, seems like the tests are fairly realistic with the exception that you "can" bypass startup, mixture, rudders, etc.

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