Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition (PC)

...Pounds in Game. The Microsoft Flight simulator range has been designed mainly for pilots / Retired pilots to welll...... Pretend they are really flying I guess? and mainly for help with real life flying. This game... Well I cannot call it a game, more of a simulator as games are usually just for fun but this is educational and fun at the same time! So what does Flight Simulator do? Flight simulator has pretty much every airport in the world in ...
...functions - As Microsoft say; Just like the real thing - And they are not lying! The graphics on this simulator are absolutely amazing, while im pretending to fly I can see my house and all other places in the world! Flight simulator X is the latest version, there is now a new add on avalable called Acceleration. The flight simulator has an area that is made especially for trainee pilots. They have missions, all the flying lessons that exsist ...

Review of Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition (PC)

...the performance of pc’s expanded Microsoft was always there with a new flight simulator. The first thing that I shall look at is the installation, as games get bigger it takes longer to get set up. For me it took over an hour plus the time to defrag the hard drive after. The install process itself was quite simple and very easy to understand, activation was quick and painless and then I was on my way. The box told all about the great features ...
...It didn’t work, as the joystick has to be set up. This is fairly annoying for a flight sim not to have even basic joystick settings like 2004. Another thing I will point out now is that if your pc isn’t that great chances are it will be an awful experience. This is a game best played on a high end pc and when you do the result is breathtaking. The actual flying is not too different than 2004 but the visual cockpit and views are better. There are ...

Review of Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition (PC)

...have had all of the Microsoft Flight Sim releases since FS5. After a 30min+ installation time I managed to get my first chance to take to the sky. At first I was little impressed with the graphics and the scenery on my first flight. The frames were jerky and the aircraft and screen movements took about 4 seconds to respond to the movements of the joystick. I have a 2.8GHz processor, 526mb DDR memory and Direct x9 installed. I was not happy and was ...
...Vista is released. However I persisted with FSX and tweaked my FSX settings more towards the left of the sliders and now I am running on very basic scenery and textures but it runs smooth and jerk free. At the moment I can't really comment on the scenery as you will need Direct x10, Windows Vista and a whole load of memory at least 1GHz recommended and a decent graphics card! However I have completed about 17 of the 52 missions and I am now impressed. ...

Wow, what a game. After my inital 20 minute install and several cups of coffee while i waited I was not dissappointed with the end result. I have a fairly powerfull machine (A pentium dual core 2.9 ghz processor with 1gb ram and 512mb geforce graphics) and the graphics a gameplay do not fail to dissappoint. In saying this the level of detail is still not turned onto maximum so i have reduced airtraffic and some anti-alias settings turned off. Even ...
...a fan of flight sims but the control systems are someties tiresome, not in this case, they are easy to grasp and the maual explains all well, with some good intoduction training lessons for the flight sim beginner. The deluxe edition is a must as it has additional aircraft and the cities are more detaild, although this is only noticable if you are running a powerfull machine. The structured missions (65 of them) are a good basis to start from and ...

You shouldn't be sitting there reading this - You should be out buying Flight Sim X Now! It's been long awaited, and is finally here! Trust me, you won't be let down! Flight Simulator X combines amazing detail with fantastic sound and ease of use for any user. If you've never played flight sim before, it won't take you long to get used to it. You start with 'beginner' missions explaining how to taxi and maneuver your plane around the field. You'll ...

Once you've got the hang of it, you can try your best at some of the other (nearly 60) missions, ranging from flying through hoops to rescuing people an exploding oil rig. Throughout the missions, your radio communications are handled by your co-pilot, while you fly the plane. But it's not just about missions! You can choose to fly whatever route you like, from ...

Brilliant game, graphics are unbelievable and the realism is spot on too. ive recently ventured onto the multiplayer part fo the game and wow its a big community out there. you can communicate to other players around the world acting as other aircraft or even ATC (air traffic controll) Providing you buy the acceleration add-on i would say theres a fair choice of aircraft. i can only think of one dissadvantage and as you will read on other reviews, ...
...full potential of the graphics and detail is almost impossible. sure you can set every thing to the highest levels of detail, etc, but it dramaticly slows the game down to frustrating speeds. i recormend if you wish to have the full experiance, make sure you have a powerfull PC with at least 2GB of ram and a intel Core 2 duo proccessor. besides that its a very good game and brilliant for practicing pilots from the real aviation industry. ...

This is definetely the best simulation game out there at the moment and is very much worth the money. I have had the game for a few months now and find it absoulutely incredible. The graphics are outstanding, although I would recommend quite a powerful PC with good graphics card. The game suits more or less anyone; those who are just looking to have fun flying around and doing the odd mission or proper pilots who want to practice. This is due to ...
...from real life weather updates to a wide selection of incredibly realistic looking and handling planes. The missions are very exciting, varying from helicopter rescue missions to delivering mail. Lastly I would only recommned playing with a proper flight control system as it is just too realistic to use the keyboard - personally I recommend the Saitek X52 Flight Control System. Happy Flying! ...

I am a commercial pilot who is currently working as a flight instructor. I have used this simulator to assist with training on different single engine and multi engine aircraft and for reality of flying the aircraft it is great. The graphics are quite spectacular, especially when you compare them to the previous version FS 2004 and FS2002. Unfortuntaely to make this great the PC has to be great also! To run the game you need to have a high specification ...
...specification. To get the most out of this you need to have 2GB RAM 256Mb Graphics card and reasonably quick hard discs. When you have all that it is a brilliant game. The game is great. The missions are good fun and the sounds are realistic. I absolutely love it. You can fly so may different aircraft and go to many different places it's a case of where do you want to go? The missions mode is really good fun. As you get better at flying the aircraft ...

Flight Simultor X Deluxe Edition is litterally the state of the art flight sim. Its many detailed citys fill you with galore and the 22 higly detailed planes make you feel as thoough you're stting there in that seat. The multiplayer functions that are only available only in this deluxe edition are the tower control. You actually get to be in the control tower and guide everyone through landing and control the airport, Allthough i'd recomend a good computer, as such good graphics come at a high memory usage! ...

Brilliant Game/Sim with near unlimited hours of game play and increasing difficulty and the players own leisure. Runs well and has plenty of performance controls allowing nearly anybody to set the game to a configuration which works for them. Multi-player is incredibly fun where you can do whatever you wish, you can follow the rules of a commercial flight or just race your friends to a destination and even have another one of your friends act as ...

I have never come across a game/piece of software that conveys an experience with such realism. The cockpit sounds are authentic, the engine noise seems real, and with real time air traffic control messages coming through, it really feels like you're in control of a plane! The visuals are stunning. You need a good computer with a good graphics card and processor, but I can tell you, it is definitely worth it. Graphic detail is changeable on the ...
...on high graphics, you can turn down the visual effects a bit, to help it run smoother. The game comes with a selection of planes and helicopters to fly, a joystick is recommended for this game! If you want to expand your collection of aircraft, download more from sites such as simviation.com for free, installation instructions are provided on the websites. You can develop your skills in missions and flying lessons, or why not explore on a free ...

I can't emphasise enough what an absolutely outstanding flight sim this is. If you have a fast pc with a good size memory and a decent video card, the graphics are simply out of this world. This flight sim really is a good as its gets. Granted, it's not your normal flight game with only a few controls, this is a full on flight sim dealing with options such as ILS landings, OBS systems, complete fuel management ect, but once you have mastered these, ...
...a complete course. If you are keen on flying this is the sim for you. In addition to the numerous planes and thousands of airports, you really can go anywhere in the world. This game also includes a complete tuition section that will take rookie pilots and those with no flying experience at all to a level where you will be at ease flying a propellor plane or a fast jet or even a commercial plane laden with passengers. ...
