 Great flying sim overall!, 2004-06-23
If you like reality when it comes to flying buy this game. The weather effects are great! From T-storms to blinding snow to clear blue skys. You can even download real-time weather off the internet weather sites for any start location! The clouds look real not like artificial white graphics in past FS's but real and when you fly through them it you feels as if your just floating up there like the real thing. There is of course no combat in this sim but just learning how to keep a Leer Jet steady against a strong prevailing wind is a challege! My favorite feature is being able to set your fly time, location, weather type and even game speed. I have recently read another review where one guy said the ground textures are not so hot but if you zoom in using the "+" you can see the textures much clearer and the cloads! In all I think flight sims have come along way since the 90's and with each new release like this one it gets more relatisic!

 Fun at first, 2004-06-23
At first glance, this game looks and is really fun. But after so long of playing it, it really gets a little boring. Sure the features and graphics are really nice, but the game starts to seem a bit pointless when you fly your mission (which can be hours long), and absolutely nothing happens when you finish! You take off, fly, land, and hit escape to end the mission. There is no reward for the efforts of playing this game, and gets boring somewhat quickly.

Great Game, Ok Version, 2004-06-09
Well it's clear that they have lowered the price of the game because the imporvements over 2002 are small. However, the weather and ATC imporvments are GREAT!! Much better than 2002. The historical planes are semi-cool but who really wants to flyu a wright bros plane that goes 20 mph?? The planes are a bit disapointing because there is no reason they can't put a larger variety of jets on there. And where is the Concorde?At $52.50 it is a bad buy, at the new price $29.00 it is a must have.
