Brakes off, FULL THROTTLE! Flight Simulator 2004 is your basic "learn how to fly" game, but more in-depth. Hover along the ground at 15 mph in the Wright Brother's plane, or fly from LA to Miami with a Boeing 777. If you're a beginner, take a flying lesson or watch tutorials. If keys aren't realistic enough, go buy a joystick. Just don't hit that high-rise when you get to Miami Intl!

A neat thing about FS is that there's no real objective, just flying every plane you own. The best thing is that you can download more planes and jets off of the Internet if you're unsatisfied with your current squadron. You can also use the settings to make engine failures, aileron malfunctions, gauge quits. and much more for that OMGwe'regonnacrash fear. Use the ATC to guide you when you're lost. Set the weights of your passengers on board. Set your jet to autopilot when you have to sleep. Just have fun by flying past landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, CN Tower, and even the Arj-e-Milad Tower in Iran.

The performance is all coordinated by your quality preference. If you want the full monty of quality, expect a loading bar for 2 minutes. But you're best to stick with medium quality. But other than that, get your Extra 300s stunt plane, take off from Berlin, and don't look down!
