Well, this is how a flying sim should be like-AMAZING. I want to say to the people that complain about how the menus in the game look that the game is a SIMULATOR and it simulates flight NOT pretty and colorful menus. O yeah, there was this guy that wrote a review in which he said that the ground looked really bad at low altitude as well as as at high alt. - TRY SETTING THE VIDEO DETAILS ON "HIGH"-maybe that will work for you. I'm lucky enough to fly some light aircraft in real life. Believe me: X-plane is the most realistic flight sim available for PC. Visit the homepage and get convinced yourself(it is officially used for training pilots - what other pc simulation can say this???)-> www.x-plane.com . I recommend this game for those to really like flying and wanna get a close as possible feeling of flight without leaving "terra ferma". As a flight lover i also played MsFlight sim 2004 - it's a nice game but it isn't comparable with X-plane. The advantage over X-plane is in the graphics(nice cockpits) but i seriously think it is not as real as x-plane. I have both installed on my pc, they compensate each other(one has what the other doesn't) SO: if you want to see how pretty are the aircrafts or how the ground looks from above go for ms-flight sim, if you really love flying an the adrenaline it gives you DEFINITELY go for X-plane - it is unbelievably real plus, with the plane-maker and world editor that comes in the pack - The sky is the limit!
