I have stayed up until 3 in the morning playing this game. I have played many other Flight Simulators and this one is by far the best. The aircraft controls are very easily accessible and communicating with air traffic control is now a cinch. I highly recommend flying the Bombadier Learjet, I think that is one of the easier planes to handle. Don't waste your time trying to fly the Wright Brothers first plane, because if you try to take of with more than a 5 degree angle up, you will stall. This game is a definite must buy for anybody with a love for Airplanes.
