 Good enough, 2007-08-23
Bought this product as I like all flight sims. It is good. I look forward to MS coming out with another MS Flight Simulator with aircrafts like the Baron 58 and ATR-42, and a few other prop aircrafts.Something totally different, aircraft wise.
This package lives up to expectations and the improvements over the previous MS Flight Sims is huge. Really enjoyed flying the Baron 58 aircraft as I used to own one previously.
Great Game-But Graphics Aren't Too Great, 2007-08-16
I got this game in December of 2006 and it is great. The only problem is the graphics aren't too great, such as there aren't any roads. Also, there are not any airport vehicles or jetways. I'm thinking of getting FSX. Most of the bad reviews for FSX are based on the size it takes up-which is 14 GB. I do suggest this product, just if you don't know anything about flying, the "Flying Lessons" do take a long time to accomplish.

 FS2004 Is The Greatest!, 2007-07-26
I've been flying FS2004 for about 2 years now, and I just love it. I started flying sims when FS98 came out. It was ok, but I knew Microsoft could do better. The scenery was cheesy (especially the mountains), and the weather was anything but realistic. FS2000 was much better, but buggy. FS2004 has gotten most of the bugs out that hurt 2000 (I didn't buy FS2002). I love the weather, especially when downloading real-weather. And, the tons of add-on (freeware and payware) do make this sim "As Real As It Gets". I haven't tried FSX yet, mainly because I just don't have the computer power to run it properly. It's been getting some bad comments. Just remember that FS2004 also got bad press when it first came out. Now, almost everyone loves it. We just have to wait for the computers to catch up with the software.
Good Sim, 2007-07-12
I like combat sims but use this one for a nice change of pace. So far this has allot of the same features as previous versions of flight simulator. I would like to figure out how to change the default resolution to fit my monitor better.

Still my favourite FS, 2007-07-06
I have recently reviewed Flight Simulator X. While that simulator has amazing graphics and improved gameplay (..somewhat) I still keep FS2004 as my favourite, everyday-use flight simulator.
There are several reasons to get this:
- Price. The price is almost a steal for this wonderful product. I remember paying $49 for it at Walmart when it first came out.
- Performance and Graphics. It's very beautiful game. It has great landscapes, 3D cockpit. I only wish the water effects were a little bit better. Most importantly, this game will work on almost any decent PC with 512MB of RAM, 128MB video card.
- Gameplay. Amazing. Simply stunning. I absolutely love flying from Chicago to Indianapolis in a Boeing 737.. enjoying beautiful waterscape of Lake Michigan and green corn fields of Indiana.
The aircrafts perform and like they should. I love the older airplanes such as "Dougs" which fly realistically with no problems. The game features a lot of historic aircrafts but you can download THOUSANDS of add-ons.. not only aircrafts but also cockpit panels, landscapes and even ATC.
Overall.. I love this product. I am absolutely in love with it and will continue to use it for long time. It's a lot better in performance terms than FSX.. and a lot better for beginners. It has everything you need and nothing you don't need.
It is VERY playable with a keyboard and mouse, though not recommended. I personally recommend a Logitech FLI kit or something like that.
If you think you can handle having fun and learning geometry, physics and math at the same time then you have no problems with getting this product.
Very recommended!
