The best flight simulator

This game is the best flight simulator in the world. It's graphics are better than whatever game you're thinking about. It's so cool, you can fly different airplanes like the Cessna, the Mooney Bravo,the Learjet, the boeing 737, the boeing 777 and much more. You can even fly with VOR around the whole world! But I suggest you get this game only if you are interested in flying or being a pilot.

Great game

Someone in another review, said that with a pentium MMX233 the game didn't run good, well I have that processor and 48MB RAM and runs good. I'm a fan of this game since version 5.0, and every version surprises me more. It's incredible how microsoft improves it's version. I really recomend this game, and if it's the first time you play a flight simulator, just buy the standard version

Pretty much good

Now i know that i'm harsh on people's games and always give them less than three stars but hey, that's what i have to do. I have to tell the truth, and well, flight simulator 2000 deserves good grades. In the past couple of years, microsoft produced excellant games such as flight sim 98 and well i am very interested in flying huge commercial aircrafts. Here's my chance to fly a plane and not die IF i crash! Flight sim wether 98 or 2000 gives you the excitment of a real time flight. Now the flight sim on proffesional edition gives you more planes to ride. I've read a message from a 10 year old gamer saying that turning the plane left or right would turn the plane upside down! Well, he has a point, but on 2000 flight sim, you can freeze horizontal or vertical movement. All you have to do is to read the manuals book. That's why it's there! Now, i live in kuwait and so i have alot of knowledge of my country's airport! When i checked it out on flight sim, the buildings were in real shape and in real location. For an advice, i'd say flight sim 2001 has to become even more realistic! Before you get excited and order the game, let me warn you, although the game is fantastic, the game may run slowly if you have an old system version but if you have a new system version, then just worry about crashing your plane! good luck! try not to crash on my house!

This game is so much better than Flight Simulator 98

I was both happy and disappointed with this version of Microsoft's Flight Simulation. I was happy with the fact that this version of flight simulator has about five times more airports and navaids than Flight Simulator 98 had. Also, the GPS included with the simulator is a great tool for the novice pilot who has no idea how to get from one point to the other. Another feature I liked was the realism of the game. You can adjust the realism settings of your simulator and even download real world weather. The cockpits of the different aircraft are also amazing with realitic panels and close attention to detail. I also think the printed manual that comes with the game is excellent, even if it is a little thick. There are also several things about the game that disappointed me. First is the scenery graphics. I was suprised that this Flight simultor did not use the same scenery graphics as Combat Flight simulator, which were excellent. The scenery graphics in this simulator are not that much improved over those in Microsoft's Flight Simulator 98. Second, I thought the playablity of the simulator lacked something to be desired. Even on fast computers, I experienced hesitations in the game when I was turning and landing the plane. Overall, the playability of the simulation is not as smooth as flight Simulator 98. Finally, I had trouble getting the simulation to work on a couple of computers. On one computer, I had to tweak with the CD-ROM settings before the ROM would recognise the CD. On another computer, I frequently got errors and freeze-ups. Overall, Flight Simulator 2000 is not bad, but I was expecting a much better simulation.

FS2000 Professional Edition

Suitable for PC with slower CPU like PII. It doesn't require a very good video card, 4MB RAM can run very smooth, of course more RAM means better, suggest 8-32MB.

I like it

I use a compaq notebook with a pentium III 700MHZ with a ATI Rage Mobility graphic card(8 MB RAM)and it's great. Also I have a pentium II 400 with a ATI 8 MB RAM graphic card but it's not fast enough. Over all if you have a fast system with a 3D accelator,you will really enjoy it.

Duh!

Is it the best sim ever? Of course! Do you need a faster computer? Of course. That's like the law of nature: you want a better game so you have to have a more powerful computer. You are not gonna keep your old PII 300 forever, are you? You gotta move on with technology! Duh!

Excellent product

Simply speaking, this product is fantastic. It is realistic, visually stunning, and packed with features. The 3rd party support is probably the biggest plus (see avsim.com and flightsim.com in particular).

On my Athlon 850 (TNT2 3D card) I get a frame rate of about 18-20, but even when it drops to 12 or so it still looks fine. The 3rd-party support is intense as well (see avsim.com and flightsim.com in particular).

I'm hooked.

High system requirements but excellent performance
