User Rating: 9.5 | Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 PC
By Destructabom | Review Date:
I first bought flight unlimited 3 for my computer, went on it and it was rubbish graphics rubbish gameplay rubbish overall rubbish. Then i was looking around shops for a new flight sim and i found this and what a game it is.

I first went on it not knowing anything about flying a plane but after taking the lessons i now know how to do lots of things. It teaches you over many different lessons each one expanding your knowledge of flight.

I then went in search of extra downloads and found a number of great websites specialising in this game. for example www.flightsimworld.com this has lots of aircraft for download.

I love the way this game uses real satellite images for the world even though you cant really see it clearly until you are around 7,000 feet.

The buildings in the game is one let down for me though they are not detailed enough. It looks like no attention has been paid to them at all.

The aircraft are amazing there is a lot of detail in the panels and the actual aircraft.

Good:
. Aircraft
. Graphics
. AI
. Game play
. Lessons
.
Bad:
. Not enough time spent on the buildings
. No multiplayer anymore

Overall i rated this game 9.5 because i believe that this game is brilliant
