I got a Logitech Attack 3 joystickLogitech Attack 3 Joystick and the entire system works great. I read the reviews of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator programs and since I have an older Dell PC was scared into buying this program. If you are thinking of flight lessons this program will save you lots of money in the long run and you can fly in any weather, crash as many times as you want and walk away. The flight instruction is first rate, very similar to a real instructor. I have to admit the terrain is not realistic but, the flight experince is just as challanging as the real thing. This is a serious teaching tool not just a game.
One second you are at 100 feet then in 5 seconds you are spiraling upwards hundreds of feet per second-I use it on a Windows XP Computer and i have had some minor problems with it, I neccesary file is actually deleting itself everytime i use the game.-Some of my friends had trouble loading it on their computers because of the install process***Final Note*** Dont buy fs2004 because it has some glitches that were fixed in the updated Gold Version of Flight Simulator 10(FSX) and last time i checked it wasnt that much more for the newer version I picked this up for 15 bucks at an electronics store.First thoughts it was great and still 3 years on it is still a great game because you can constantly add-on other sceneries, Planes,Cars and even Boats. This game is very addicting.Pros:-Travel the whole world.-The Special Edition allows you to re-create many famous historical flights from Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Eirhardt, and many other famous pilots and their journeys-The limit-less add-ons found onlineCons:-The Physics for the helicopters is VERY GLITCHY.
I guess I will and just eat the money I spent on this.I was mislead by a pilot / gamer / computer geek. I should have purchased FSX. Guess I should have known to buy the latest version and not one 7 years old. This is a 20 dollar game and that's about it. Not much more use than FS 1998.
I bought it so I could make panels that would be compatible with both FS 2004 (also known as FS9) and FSX (also known as FS10) otherwise I would not have bought it at all as the newer FSX version is totally better. This is an older version of Microsoft's flight simulator.
This product is great for getting the full flight experience.If turn up the weather scenery and graphics airports weather and the water look almost as high quality as flight simulator x.The only thing that I was bumed about was no concord.I think that if its going to say 100 years of flight the concord should be in there.The plane selection is very good though with planes rangeing from the wright flyer to the boeing 747 400 also lots of airlines to choose from.Tip go to denver new tokyo airport narita I think and princess julianna international airport those are some high detail airports.Overall this is a very good product.
