Good for its time, but now it is dated...

FS2000 was an INCREDIBLE program when it came out around 2000 (go figure...) but for the year 2006-2007, I would HIGHLY suggest FSX, if you computer can handel it. It is an incredible ammount more realistic!!! If FSX is too powerful for you, I suggest getting FS2004. It is a great program, with TONS of addons and a great comunity around it. Its computer specs aren't nearly as demanding as FSXs, but still, don't expect any of these programs to run smoothly on that $500 computer from Best Buy.

IT ROCKS!

I got this game a few years back as a steal, thinking that my P4 wouldn't satisfactorily run "FS 2002", or that the differences between the two were minor enough to obviate the higher price of the "newer" game. With the release of the even newer version (ACOF), I got a bargain price on '02, and found it ran at least as nice as FS 2000, and had more fluid atmospheric effects (including - at last - movable waves). Add-On aircraft are more easily sorted on 2002 than 2000, and the old game gains less in of an edge in framerate on 2002 than it lost over FS 98. In short, by now any decent machine will run 2002 without hiccups. You don't need FS 2000 anymore.

This is outrageous!

I've just bought a new (admittedly somewhat not state-of-the-art computer) and installed FS2K and I'm terribly disappointed!

My new computer is an IBM!

It's a couple of years old (it's an XT though!), but this new FS version locks up before I even get started!

I don't know what the hell to do.

I love to fly.

My new machine has a processor speed of 4.77 megahertz! If the new FS won't run on this they shouldn't be selling it!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, we are English folk, and have recently used FS2000. We are absolutely delighted with the detail given in the UK and Europe - but deeply saddened by the absence of London's new Millennium Dome, and the fact that at Denham aerodrome, you are placed on the default runway 15 - not used in earnest since the war!. Pip pip chaps - keep up the good interncontinental work.

Incredibly Useless

I don'y know if you've ever paid almost 60 dollars for something you and up hating. Flight Simulator for windows 95 IS BETTER THAN the 2000 version. You can't even run it on a slow machine or in many regualar computers: you have to have a PENTIUM PC. Please reconsider if you're thinking about buying it. There are better simulators aut there.

Well if you are a commercial pilot then you and only could really enjoy this. I could not endure the slow going of this software. Sorry but unless you enjoyed being bored to death hunt for something else!!

It's better than Flight Simulator 2000, well worth it...

I first got Microsoft Flight Simulator 95, Always used it until now, I got Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000. It is very fun, and realistic. If you use MSN's ...game network, you can join online sessions, fly with others, if you also get Roger Wilco, you can participate in live ATC, (air traffic control) and that is also alot of fun, and realistic. I suggest that anyone who wants a flight simulator, get this one, it's the best, also, if you can get yoke, and rudder pedals for your PC, it would be even more fun and realistic.

Where is the Mississippi River?

I give Flight Simulator 2000 one star because it works. It only crashes my system after I exit the game and try to play something else. I am outraged at the poor quality of the game. Realism? Who ever heard of flying anything with the fuel pump turned off and instruments working with the Pitot Heat switch in off position? Graphics detail? Where is the Mississippi River? I can't find it and it should be 3 miles from the main runway at St. Charles County Smartt Field. It's trash and I am going to mutilate the CDs and ship the game box back to Bill Gates. I have my pride.

Sierra Software pioneered the flight simulator and for many years was quite successful with it. It's unbelievable that this product put Sierra out of the flight simulator business. Sierra's Pro Pilot 98 is miles ahead of Flight Simulator 2000. If you can find a copy of Pro Pilot 98, Pro Pilot 99 or any flight simulator other than this one, buy it.
