4 out of 5 stars Great flight sim for older machines.......2007-05-18

I have an old laptop - Dell Inspiron P4 1.6ghz with 1GB of ram. I am thinking about upgrading but have decided to wait until DirectX 10 comes out on Vista.

Anyway, I wanted to get a flight simulator since I started taking flying lessons. I needed something to familiarize myself with the Cessna 172 cockpit and instruments as well as just to play around. The graphics on this game are fantastic considering it's age, and it runs extremely well on my laptop even at 1280 by 1024. If you have an old machine or even a new machine that struggles with FSim X, I can highly recommend this fantastic piece of software.

4 out of 5 stars As expected - a great flight sim.......2007-05-17

I bought the game for my sons (and myself, I won't lie). I really like the flight lessons, the instructor is easy to understand and even injects humor.

My sons love the game as well. They skipped the lessons and just went flying. My youngest had a buddy show him how to download other planes - which I didn't even know was an option.

So now I terrorize the skies in a P-51 Mustang. I've died and gone to heaven.

Great game. Weather options are outstanding and the choice of where I can fly is mind-boggling. I went with the 2004 version as my computer was purchased in '03 and I wanted to stay away from the memory demands of the newest MS flight sim. I have no regrets with what we got.

5 out of 5 stars Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.......2007-05-14

The version shipped to me from Amazon is unlike the original I purchased from Microsoft some time ago. The original came in a metal box; the Amazon version arrived in a cardboard box. Graphics quality in the Amazon version is well below the standard of the Microsoft original, therefore I conclude that Amazon has substituted a cheaper, less expensive version with the intent of creating a "bargain" price. I am not happy with your version.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful Flight Simulation.......2007-05-13

This is great for getting the feel of flying some of the aircraft that made history and has a good mix of modern aircraft. It covers from the Wright Brothers right up to the Jumbos of the present day with a good mix of the periods to select aircraft models to simulate.

5 out of 5 stars Great game, need a joystick.......2007-04-19

This is a great game and a fantastic value right now, but you should know that the game is virtually unplayable without a joystick. The game expects you to have a joystick and the controls are extremely difficult without one because keyboards don't have analog input. So definitely get a joystick.
