Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Flight simulation for your PC just doesn't get any better than this. Microsoft has been at this for a long time, and they make it better with every release. A few things seasoned flight simmers will know that new users will certainly WANT to know are: The system requirements to really make this software work well are dauntingly advanced. You'll need something approaching a top-level gaming machine, with a huge video card, to get the full benefit of the entire visual, audible, advanced controls experience. Got a laptop you think is pretty smokin'? Forget it. Microsoft follows every release of this product with massive service packs you must download and install, and each one takes a huge chunk out of your hard drive. Be prepared with LOTS of disk space. This particular release (meaning, the "Gold Edition") includes service packs one and two, so you won't need to download them. An internet connection is required to register the product. Bottom line is that this is, hands down, the best of the lot, but you really DO need vast hardware resources to run it. If you own those resources, be prepared for a real-time, audio-visual feast.
