a really good part of this is the fact you get airline textures with them as well which saves you the hastle of doing it yourself. From virgin atlantic to british airways to Klm etc......
one of my favourite features is the new cabin view with each plane. you get to chose either business class or standard and each plane has its own ... ...as whenever i use an airbus on autopilot it never follows what you tell it to do, it seems to have a mind of its own which is really annoying and destrupts your flight
Many other commands such as the auto throttle have also failed and when I use a plane on full throtle on the runway the aircraft shakes on the ground which doesn't allow for a smooth take off.
I'm not 100% sure about how these problems have been caused but I would be wary when buying ...
Advantages: Excellent user interface, brilliant 3D match engine, great transfer system, improved interaction Disadvantages: None

Now you have the option of loading the entire game up from the disc on to your computer or using ... ...with a warning from the football authorities so you have to be careful.
You have to also talk to the press which can be so tough for you to do because they ask similar questions all the time and you have to keep them sweet otherwise they eat you alive at times.
