The simulator indeed is great, but it has a problem. The problem is that it FPS rate is very low so the game won't run OK. I have a 2.5 GHZ, 512 MB RAM computer and instead it won't run as it should

Purchased this item - returned it for repalacement due to bad disk - replacement is also defective and appear to be stuck with it - cannot play or use this software due to defective software. Microsoft offers no support nor does anyone else - do not recommend purchasing this item.

It's all right!

You could learn to pilot the planes, just wished the gorund textures were better and had more seletion of planes and the helicopter tutor is not so good

Great...... only a few glitches

When i first got this game i couldn't wait to install it.So i ran to the computer to install it.However make shure you havea lot of room on your hard drive.Cuz it takes up like 20% of it.You may see that some people don't like this game that's because they bought flight sim. 2002.I've rated it 5 stars because i own a classic flight sim 1998. It well er..... STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!On this the map makes it so much more fun and easier.You just don't take off and fly into no where you can actually fly to different airports.I stink at fs 1998 but i can easily fly a 747 from london to wherever the plane is when i wake up in the morning.If you decide to purchase this don't use the 777 it always slips on the runway.Great grafics if you have a 3d accelerator.Also the control tower and radios are awesome.Flight school realy helped me.Also on the main menu you can program an engine failure to happen a certain time after take-off.This game truly is AS REAL AS IT GETS!

DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

I installed this Microslut game on a relatively new dell desktop, xp, latest video card and drivers, etc. After install it wouldn't even load up when I tried to start it,,,got the splash screen then it quits. Tried all of the so-called fixes from MS, clean boot, reinstall, video+audio drivers and settings, etc. etc. etc. and still nothing! Apparently there is an "issue" somewhere. screeew it, compusa can have the dam thing back!!!

4 stars primarily for computer reasons

The potential detail is great. It's nice to see my local hometown airport I worked at have similar buildings:) Even the powerlines at the end of the approach of 29. I have a cheapo K7sem V3.0c (can't upgrade prosessor) running a Duron 1200 which converts to about 900mhz chip speed. I have a tough to deal with SiS 315 video card with 64mb Sdram:( memory. and a 60GB harddrive. Harddrives are so big now a days it's is nice to install the entire game on disk. I have 750mb of Pc 100/133 RAM. It is good enough to run the graphics at about half way with 10fps. So not digitally smooth. But I like that they are desinging programs that make use of the most powerful systems, and then it keeps me wanting more hardware toys..I know it is frustrating that I cannot run full graphics. But the detail is the best I have seen it so far. It even has little signs on the interstates.. It would be great to get a 'super system' to run everything at full with 40 fps. But thats a money issue. I would say 2 gigs of high peformance DDR memory, a top AMD or Pentium processor, that 9600 video card with 256mb or 512mb when it comes out. A SCSI hardrive at 15,000rpm or a master bus(wrong lango) 10,000 rpm Harddrive would allow fast data transfer to the components to increase frame rate and detail loading. In the future, when we see pentium 5's and faster stuff, Here are improvments I still want to see in the game. Every area in the US (mabe world) have photo realistc scenery from satilite information, thus it would allow autogen scenery to me more accurate with buldings. Bodies of water to appear more translucent and glassy. Roads that actually have markings, and every highway and street should be included. By overlaying a GPS map into the scenery. They have done a better job with the weather and clouds look realistic, but we need better thunderstorms yet, supercells, lightning that is also in cloud, hail, and more frightning looking (because your not really supposed to fly in them right he he he) but now you can still take a cessna through a thunderstorm on here and be ok. So those are my suggestions...they have come along way since flight sim 4 so you cannot always expect the world yet with every new update. But I am sure when flight sim 2010 comes out, It will have these features. :)

Microsoft flight simulator is the BEST game ever. It has no defects. It has NO violance. This game is VERY realistic. Before I got this game I was looking on the internet to see if I could find a good free flight simulator, there was NOTHING LIKE this one out there so, if you want a good flight simulator, this is the only place toget it. It's good if you want something to just play around with.

An Awsome Game

This is one of the best games I've ever played. It has a abundent selection of Aircraft and from the 1903 Write flyer to the DC-3 to the Boeing 747,737,and 777 all avalible in a variety of colors and Simulated Airlines . The affects in this game are also very realistic. You can download your own realworld weather which includes not only rain and snow, but wind, temp, and even turbulence. The best part of this game I think is the interactive Air Traffic Control, and the Flight Planner. I think if there going to try to inprove this game for the next version (even though this game is alraedy the best) I think they should add passenger comfert levels (Like Train Simulator) and/or make the Airports more interactive and alive. (EX:Interactive or Moveing Gas Trucks, Push-Back Trucks, Anti-Ice Trucks, Hangers, ETC)
