A savetehaloz review on an ambitious and educational flight simulator from Microsoft

User Rating: 8 | Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 PC
By savetehhaloz | Review Date:
When most people think of a flight simulator, many people think of Microsoft's Flight Simulator series. FS2004 improves upon FS2002 but doesnt really change all that much except offer a bit more eye-candy and historical airplanes. This however doesnt take away the fun of flying a 747 through areas you aren't supposed to. However, if you want to be authentic as possible you can set up your own flight using the flight planner. FS2004 offers and in game real time GPS and fully working dials. It also offers an interactive virtual cockpit (you can change your view of the aircraft). The game however doesn't offer all that much except for add-on aircraft and some missions. This however will bore many people unless you are a real airplane afficionado.
It is recommended to rent this game first before buying but if you really like airplanes it is recommended for its realism and add-on aircraft.

Reccomended over FSX.
