This is the only piece of software I've seen that requires loading a specific CD *each* time you run the program. That is a serious defect---all the worse because it is clearly done with malice aforethought. Program CDs are normally kept in a safe place to avoid being damaged as well as the more serious problem of cluttering up my computer station. The MSFS folks need to get a clue!
I may well send this product back for a refund.

The only negitive I can list is the an easy way to quickly access Com, Nav, and DME information during flight.

I used the first Flight Simulator back in the days of MSDOS. I expected the graphics to have been improved since then. No doubt the graphics are better but all things being equal, time has not helped as much as one would expect. I would buy an older version and wait another 20 years before I bought the latest version.

When I started to play, I got hooked. I also downloaded my favorite plane in the world:The SR-71 Lockheed Blackbird. If you are into flying and defying gravity, then buy this game and take to the skies!

This is the worst flight simulator that I have ever used. I wanted to give it zero rating but was not allowed to do so by the survey software. It is not adequate for children or teenagers, and will be a large disappointment to anyone seeking a simulator that provides quick and accurate performance. Without any add-ons, it requires over 200 megs of hard disk space, which is too much for a good PC simulator, and causes it to bog down too much.

This game is addictive, & has a huge following.
However, I have junked it, as it needs a very powerful computer, and high end graphics card to work well.
One quickly gets bored with the default aircraft, and the scenery is blocky.
If you can spend $3500+ for a good computer, and if you are willing to spend hours tweaking this game, and if you can afford to pay around $400 for add-on aircraft and scenery, go ahead.
I prefer to use stand alone sims such as F/A-18 and Pacific Fighters, which work all the time, and have no bugs.
If you wish to use FS2004 for Flight Training, there are much better options.
Its Very Best Filght In The World

Overall I would say it's a good game, but I was disappointed to find out there was FSX which I should have bought instead of this FS 2004. It was presented as the first FS game to me in my search, and I just clicked add to cart in excitement, cos I hadn't played a flight Sim game for over 10yrs. I owned the 1st flight sim donkey years ago, so when I read the review on this one it excited me. I started playing it with excitment and interest till I found out about FSX and read it's reviews. However, FS 2004 impressed me in the almost real details and facts embedded in the training school section especially. I enjoyed it while it lasted (that was before FSX punched a hole and let out all the hot air). I'm restraining myself from spending further on FSX. I only just resumed trying to play games, as I am an extremely busy man. We'll see how it goes.
A great simulator, but needs a great pc

As I started last year with the Flight Simulator 2002 with my pentium 4 processor, 1.8Ghz, and 256 Ram the problems begins with my PC, now I have a 2.4 Ghz 1G RAM, Nvidia Video Card, and a 17" monitor (believe me, I do all this changes in order to have much better improvement with my simulator, and finally now with this F2004 I have a better flying experience.) If you don`t have a good PC you might be in troubles, because you need speed and memory and a really good video card, and I tried to keep away from third party add ons because they always slow the performance. but talking about the simulator, has a little more changes from FS2002, now with Taxiways signs and the More ATC comunication make flying a good experience. I hope that in the next two years, microsoft can finally put real world airlines and try with more detailed sceneries. Overall I like this game with 5 stars but I vote 4 because the performance capabilities from the pc. Anyway, if you love to fly just do it with this simulator, and if you can upgrade your PC will be very helpful.
