Flight Simulator X will awe flight simulator fans and real pilots alike. All-new eye-popping graphics, actual missions to accomplish and a wider range of airports to visit recreate the experience of being a pilot, right down to the smallest detail. Complete point-to-point objectives and skill-based tests, or just fly around the world if you'd prefer that to ferrying passengers or cargo. Whatever you choose to do as a pilot, it's available here in Flight Simulator X Deluxe.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very realistic
Comment: I bought this because I am an enthusiast of civil aviation. Only thing I don't like, but haven't put enough effort into it, is the issue I am having to create an online account, powered by GameSpy, it won't accept the passwords I choose even if they meet their form requirement (after installing the first service pack).
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty good but not as intuitive as prior versions.
Comment: I'm not very happy with trying to use Flight Simulator to configure the SAITEK controls (primarily flaps). It would be nice to find some example setups for common aircraft like a Cessna 172 for flight controls that include a yoke and levers. I'm sure I'll get there but have already spent a few hours trying to figure it all out. Older versions of the software seemed to be easier to figure out and navigate, but it's still fun and I've only scratched the surface as far as capabilities.

Summary: Flight Simulator X deluxe
Comment: The Game is awesome, the graphics are real good, and there are lots of aircraft to choose from, with lots of different versions of the aircraft. I think it's better than all the other Flight Simulators, by a longshot.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great graphics, but too much of a systems hog!
Comment: I am a pilot and long time user of the long lineage of microsoft's flight simulator. It has always been a great program, and this latest edition is jaw dropping. But no one tells you that you need a high end gaming computer to play this game smoothly. I have a new iMac with a 512MB nvidia 8800 graphics card and an intel duo core 2.8 ghz processor. yet, there are times, especially on landings when graphics are high, that the frame rate is choppy. otherwise, an awesome program with real life flight detail. I routinely use fsx to plan and fly routes to airports I have never been to before. When I fly the real flight in my cessna 182rg, it's as if I've already flown it. this makes the program worth a lot more than $40.

Summary: Microsoft does it right on this game !
Comment: Awesome game. I started with version 1 and stopped at version FS2000. I was too busy to play. Now with some time on my hands I purchased FSX. Although I only have an AMD 2 Ghz PC it plays well.
Everything is vastly improved and it appears as close as you can get to real flight (years ago I was a student pilot with a total of 6 hours).
I love it. I realize now that in order to get the 100% best graphics I would need a more powerful PC and graphics card. However, it still plays well and I am going through the flight training sections.
Would I suggest anyone interested in flight purchase this product? Absolutely !
