zzzzoooooooooonnnnnnnn..oh what a game i really have my best gaming fun.i can not believe that i am a pilot....
When you start up FS 2004 you'll immediately notice the menus are the same as before, which means they are simple and easy to navigate. There are more missions and options to try out than ever previously offered in Flight Simulator. You can choose to take an old school plane for a spin such as the Wright Flyer (which goes about 40 yards) to a modern Boeing 777. I chose to go with a Boeing 737 taking off at dusk from Dallas Fort Worth.
After FS loads, you will first notice how greatly the graphics have improved. On my honking PC they were jaw dropping. The lighting, textures, and level of detail shown was amazing. Taxi way lights, markers, and jet bridges got my engines going.
To make my flight more realistic I chose to download the latest weather data, just like in FS 2002.
I switched from cockpit view to virtual cockpit. The next cool addition to Flight Simulator 2004 emerges -- switches and controls you can actually play with. Yes kids, you will feel like you're the Captain with all autopilot, flaps, and radio controls clickable with your mouse. Only problem is you cannot view the FMC... I mean GPS in virtual pilot mode. Look for the nice big black hole next to the radios. And where the hell is the "No Smoking" or "Fasten Seat Belts" button? Oh well.
Must play for all who want to be a pilot or were to be...
