In my original review, I wrote: If you like crashes (computer crashes) you'll get them.... I got a lot of patient help from Microsoft and we determined that my on-the-mother-board sound capability was the culprit. I got my son a new sound card for Christmas and results have been much much better since. Another key to enjoying the game was receiving my CH Products USB Yoke for Christmas. With these improvements, I have been having a blast. Even my kids, (ages 18, 24 and 33) who are devoted to the latest video games found that realistic flight simulation is a lot of fun.
I would still complain that, while the step by step lessons are very useful (yes, I can even stand Ron's corny humor) there are a lot of inconsistencies between what the instructor tells you during the lesson and what is printed in the flight school manual. Also the Cessna 182 seems to handle differently on "real" flights compared to the lessons. This can be quite frustrating.
However the lessons are fun and effective (if you have some patience). I hope to complete my instrument check ride this week! (Just don't go for any rides with me!!)

... Once i got FS 2002 it took up a lot of space for the full install (1.3 gigs) but i think it was worth it. The graphics on this game are great, not only can you land and take off from almost every airport you can think of. The also have an air traffic controller (ATC), I think its cool. This game is great for people who just like to fly, but i do suggest that you buy a good joystick. It just makes the game all the more fun, the only thing i dont like about this game they only have like 8 planes, but I do hear you can download almost any plane off of the internet from Fed X mail planes to British AirWays. ...
finaly a peace-ful non shooting game

My son loves to take off from all kinds of airports. He's really good at landing and has success navigating to find new places to land at, or just fly over them. He's 11 and has had a few flight simulator games but he does the most with this one.
This game flies high!

The avionics are great! I can takeoff, fly, and land in Hundreds of
airports around the world. It has giant skyscrapers such as the Sears Tower of the Gateway Arch. Fly NINE different aircraft, NINE!
I love this game!
The only thing is that my computer is kind of slow and freezes the game after about 15 minutes.
I LOVE THIS GAME
Great Simulator!!!

This game is GREAT for anyone who loves planes, or has any interest in them, for that matter!! This is by far the BEST simulator game out on the market! I only gave it 4 stars because it does have a few glitches here and there, but it is still a GREAT game! I will say though, it is well worth the money, but, I think you would get a better deal by getting the Professional Edition! So check it out! You won't be sorry!
The Best of The Series!

This Game Looks Cool, the Graphics look good, but it still remains to be seen if it runs good and if the Graghics are really as good as they look? The Requirements are a bit much. But besides that I think it is probably a great Game!

I would say if you want to buy a kind of Aiplane game, then you should by the Flight Simulator 2002 or any other Flight Simulator product.Because if you have Flight Simulator.There are lots of utilites avalible. Like lots of free program's by which you can add new seneries in your Flight Simulator.Lots of programs to make Aircrafts. I have never seen a game in which you can edit something.And another thing because lots of people have bought Flight Simulator you wil find more people on the multiplayer sections of Flight Simulator 98,2000,2002.
awsome

im a simulation lover i play this game all day. this is the best one i played yet I own the 98 and 2000 version also but 2002 is the best one. the graphics are awsome and online play is even beater with air shows and escort missions and all sorts of things. some of the airplanes have spoilers and retractable landing gear. and all of the air planes have flaps of course when i got 98 i did not know any thing about flying an airplane now I know alot. so if i were u i would buy the game.
