    Hi all! and welcome to this review As a student Pilot I really needed something Cheap, Realistic and Entertaining to help me with my Flying.

    5 Stars Fly away 26/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages need a very good pc to see them

    FSX is Microsoft’s latest flight simulator. When the first flight sims came out not many people knew about them but as 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 so I plugged in a joystick and ... more

    5 Stars Flight Sim X (Deluxe) Im impressed already! 13/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excelent graphics, sound, multiplayer function and easy to use for beginners

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High spec PC needed to get the best performance.

    Wow!! I'm now impressed and I'm not even using realistic settings. I went out and bought FSX on the release date 13.10.06. I am an avid flight simmer and 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 ... more

    3 Stars Microsoft Flight Simulator X - A Great Game for Great Enthusiasts 09/12/2012

    Advantages Advantages Realistic Sound Effects, Varied Choice of Aircraft, Varied choice of missions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bad Graphics, It wants you to change back to FS2004

    As I waited for this PC game, which was to be proved to be one of the best simulators ever, I upgraded my computer system: * I got myself some new ram (upgraded from 1 GB to 2 GB), * ATI Radeon X850 (with 256 MB VRAM, my previous Graphics Card had 100 MB or so) * Pentium 3.0 Hz Processor (My previous Processor was a 1.5 Hz) * Logitech Joystick All of these met the recommended system specifications. Do you wonder why I got those upgrades? I'll explain later. Microsoft Flight Simulator X is huge, and you realize that when the installation files needs to be placed on 2 DVDs. It took me about 45 ... more

    5 Stars Microsoft Flight Sim - Deluxe Edition 16/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Graphics, Addictivness, Easily playable for begineers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need a powerfull machine to get the best from it

    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 so the end result is good. I have always been a fan of flight sims but the control systems are someties tiresome, not in this case, they are easy to ... more

    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!

    5 Stars Excellent Game, Very Realistic, well worth the money! A* Game! 15/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very realistic and fun, good value for money!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gamespy does not work, but this happens very rarely.

    Flight Simulator X? Well... This has to be the most realistic game I have ever played, and the most fun! In my opinion, it is well worth the money! ""The Graphics"" The graphics in FSX are excellent, especially with all settings maxed out! This game does not require a trong computer to play. The aircraft have very good quality to them, and you can even repaint them using 'DXTBMP'. The cockpit has many views, including the Virtual cockpit, where it makes you feel inside a real aircraft cockpit. The airports also have very good detail. When parked at a Gate, for example at London Heathrow, you ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages amazing detail and graphics, very realistic too

    Disadvantages Disadvantages powerfull and fast PC needed to enjoy the full potentiol of the game

    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, unless your PC is very powerfull and fast enjoying the full potential of the graphics and detail is almost impossible. sure you can set every thing ... more

    5 Stars Microsoft Flight SImulator X Deluxe Edition 14/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Incredible Graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Recommend good PC for best performance

    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 the outstanding realism of the game in every single aspect, from real life weather updates to a wide selection of incredibly realistic looking and ... more
