there is no better, or more experienced flight sim maker than microsoft...if your looking for a great flight sim that is realistic in both graphics and airplane dynamics than this is your flight sim. The only quibbles i have is that they took away the Concorde and that they didnt add the second most popular aircraft in the world, first before the 737, the 727. But those are minor and the 747 more than makes up for them....Enjoy flying!!

This game is SO Awesome!!

Flight Simulator 2002, along with its preceeding versions of interactive plane simulation, are the backbone and leading products in the virtual aviation world. The latest release of this series FS2002, exeeds all previous versions with its never seen before enhanced visual reality of ground textures and 3D effects. For those that put value in realism FS2002 should be the next game on your shopping list. With the addons available on the internet this experience can be even further enhanced. Also using systems like Squawkbox and Pro Controll with the VATSIM servers drives the user to an ultimate virtual reality environment.

I have enjoyed Microsoft Flight Sim Since FS4. It only gets better! See the world on your computor. My review is soley based on the past experience with FS. This is a gamers package that is full of adventure. You can make it whatever you want by adding
thousands of planes and scenery packages available through the internet and most software outlets. The skies The limit!

Just be careful...

There were indeed some more features in every new Flight Simulator. But also some more disappointments: - First you get startet at Chicago Meigs Field, admiring the highly detailed City. Then you get bored of the void between the airports. - Obviously, other pilots are scared of your flying skills because you're absolutely alone in the sky. - And where's the realistic damage-model???? Have you ever seen wings resisting fast turnings at 200 kts with a Cessna?? In Flight Unlimited 3 for example you get da real crash!;)(FS actually stops the simulation immediately w/o showing any damage in this case...) - And what about the system requirements? They recommmend systems which are only able to provide a slide-show. Have you ever considered to play FS 2000 w/o a 3D accelerator on a P166??? Naw! There are also very nice aspects of the game, of course. But they are already mentioned in other comments, so I don't have to write them here ;) I hope this time, FS's got some REAL improvements(as they promise)! But I also think, system requirements will be far more higher than in the previous version.

Vaporware is how people refer to software that is promised .... but never appears on the shelves on time. Vapor Reviews should be the term used to apply to people that write reviews of software that has not been released. FS2002 won't be available for 'real' reviews for another two months. Don't trust vapor reviews any more than you'd trust vaporware.

Just like every odd year, I am going to fire my computer and to buy a brand new one ... Heaven knows why ... so Micro$oft does ...
My dear ol'chap "PIII/700" is going to be promoted as the "My personal Network's general data backup unit".

Why ? Because obviously FSn+2 won't run on it without driving me crazy ! I hate slide-shows ! WHEN will Micro$oft bring us a clean, brand new and EFFICIENT 3D engine for FS ??? Of course I will be ready to pay a little bit more for it ... if it only could run (yes RUN, not WALK) on my previous computer ...

Ok, so my first rewiew was quite bad. Only five out of 11 liked it. But hey, now i remember mentioning this to you. Oh yeah, the game has a new autogen technology that appears to be quite exciting. Almost every land will have 3-d modeled offices, houses, schools, public libraries, colleges and even trees appear on this new game. We start off with the main point of this game which is: WHY MICROSOFT DID IT? very simple answer really. They did it for the sake of plane lovers. As a matter of fact, they did it for everyone just incase you wanna be a pilot in your future career! though i dont think anyone will be a pilot now a days as they got bored of flying in microsoft flight simulator 2000. This game's most importance is you know how to take-off and land but not how to see these beautiful scenaries 'cause that's the passenger's job not yours. But although my opinion is correct, microsoft was still kind enough to offer us a new technology that has just came out one year after fs2000. And that's the AutoGen technology. I think it stands for Automatic Generator which automatically generates fields farmlands, offices, trees, houses and even school yards for all i care. Now after the tradegy of air france's concorde crash in the early year, microsoft decided to take away the concorde 'till it's back in business. I dont think people cared about it on fs2000. Anyways, new planes came out such as cessna grand caravan which i remember i went on it once!! A new livery was made for planes such as 777-300 and a new plane just arrived and well, you've guessed it, the mighty 747-400. That's all i gotta say about planes. What else? oh yeah, airports. OK, this time we're talking BiG! With air traffic control, you're not alone in the sky so better take permission for landing or else, you might collide with another plane. Also, you could even go to options and click zero planes in the airport if you want to. But between me and you, just fligh with atc. Anyways, you also see jetways, and buildings in full detail. One good example is chicago o'hare intl. Now people, we're gonna talk about weather forecast! change it if you want to! you can download real life weather around the world very easily thanks to micro people and you could costumize your weather with: height, length, and maybe rain capacity. Rain capacity is the one i'm not sUrE about!! Oh, well with the sounds it's even more realistic! who want's to press q and not hear any noise from the engine? whoever does that is seriously crazy. Why do you think we have ears? we have them to listen to planes, rain and thunder!!!! So as my advice, buy this five star game. Actually, ten star game. Yep, ten stars. I'm not crazy, i'm saying the truth
