Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight
158 reviews
Windows | Microsoft, 2004
Love it. Less taxing on your system than Flight Simulator X
My son Henry and I enjoy flight simulating together. Our last version was 2002, and the 2004 version is far superior. Most noticeable is an increase in the graphics quality of terrain and clouds/weather. The realism of 2004 is certainly acceptable, and is closer to "X" than to 2002. More importantly, it runs acceptably (even nicely) on lower horsepower machines...I have it on a Sony laptop ...

This is a fun game!
After reading so many great reviews, I decided to purchase this game. It is very well done! What I like most is that you can set it to whatever level you want. Don't want to deal with stalls or blackouts or whatever and just shoot down planes? Turn them off. Want to deal with the whole enchilada involved in flying? Leave them on. The graphics and sound are great. You can set up your own missions- ...

Happy
I bought this Yoke and Throttle combo for flight simulation on the PC as an upgrade to my previous CH products combo Yoke. I can easily say that this is by far the better product and definitely improves the experience of flight simulation. I subsequently also bought the rudder pedals and my setup is now perfect. The only thing that still bothers me from time to time is random key presses which ...

A better simulator than Flight Sim X
I purchased both X plane and Microsoft's Flight Sim X for the purpose of using them for some home flight training. As a simulator X plane 9 knocks the socks off Flight Sim X. Flight Sim X was simply too easy and the controls a tad unrealistic. Simple things really bothered me like the fact that the turn coordinator is there simply for show (it doesnt work) Flight Sim X is also a real system ...

Great addition, shame no P51D
I bought this with a voucher that I received for my birthday and as an avid FSX pilot I wasn't disappointed. The new aircraft are both detailed and interesting to fly and come with new missions too. The documentation is in typical 21st century game style almost completely absent. Long gone are the days of a weighty manual to help you through all the switches and procedures! This is great in ...

Good stuff. My preferred Flight Sim over all others.
I've been flying Microsoft for several years now, since FS2000 Pro. This version is a huge improvement over FS2000, Large improvement over FS2002, good improvement over FS2004. One thing I REALLY like is being able to see the small hills the highways follow, and they're where they are in real life. Nice. The terrain is similar to 2000 and 2004 but the trees and water are dramatically better. ...

Correcting for Yaw
In the world of flight simulation, there are many ways to pilot the aircraft that come with the programs. For a couple of years after getting my first computer, I was held to the keyboard and later adding the mouse for controlling various planes and helicopters. It wasn't to hard to control, but certainly not very realistic. Having enough of those controls, I got a joystick with minimal axis ...

Excellent Joystick
I had tried a wireless Saitek EVO, and installation went fine, but within a month I found I had to sporadically reinstall it to get it to work, and after a year it just stopped working. Enough! I picked up a wired Logitech 3D Pro and have been happy ever since. No issues. Great response. I love it.

A very good addition to the Flight Sim experience
I have had no "lock-up" problems at all, and I find the construction of these pedals adequate, if not excellent. I might be able to relate to some of the criticisms if I were into "slam-the-stick, jam-the rudder" combat sims, but for my general aviation sim use, they are fine. I have a minor problem with the toe brake sensitivity and brake lock up, but I haven't experimented with the ...

love it
There are plenty of buttons for everything you want to do, the controls work very nicely. The feel is great. I especially love that I can turn the LEDs on/off or change how bright they are. Best stick out there.
Lock On: Modern Air Combat

Windows | Ubisoft, 2003
A "must-have sim" for any aviation enthusiast!
In spite of its age, Lock-On remains one of the key references in military simulation games. Graphics are very good -the higher you climb, the more real-life the landscape gets-, A/C's behaviors -and related flaws- are quite realistic, the number of parameters that can be fine-tuned adds to the overall realism of the game. A few question marks remain on my side, though. For example, some of ...

Greatest flight sim ever
Title says it all. I hear that Lead Pursuit's next flight sim will be even better. I can't wait for it. If you want to learn all you can about flying the F-16 without having the opportunity to sit in one, then this is the flight sim for you.

best combat flight simulator for slower computers
Out of all the combat flight simulators I like this one the best for high graphics on a low end computer and ease of learning. If this is your situation you can't beat this combat flight simulator for the money.

If you consider this your life (I dont, ok, all things straightened out) its like you have ur job, a house, a steady paycheck, a good amount of money in the bank, a nice car.

Tough Sim, But Loads of Fun
What a cool Game! In the highest reality settings, it is a really tough game. I am still in training, and am having a heck of a time with the torpedos. The calculations and whatnot, are super tough! As far as Ubisoft protection screwing up my computer? Not a single problem. It will only run on a READ ONLY DVD-ROM. It loaded and runs like a purring kitten. I can monitor my Gforce 7600 GT temp ...

Great Flight System Controller
I upgraded from the orginal X-52 which also was a great stick in my opinion, never had the problems with it has other people had. The only minor problem with the orginal joystick that was corrected with the X-52 Pro, was the weak center spring. The Pro also have different look and hat buttons along with several other improvements. You will have to re-program all of your profiles if you are ...

Just Great with Flight Simulator X
Okay, I didn't go with the most expensive stick on the market. I went with one that did say it was recommended for Flight Simulator. I have had no problems at all with it. The controls work smoothly with aircraft and it's comfortable for my large hand. Seems to be sturdily constructed.

I bought this for the sole purpose of playing Over Flanders Fields, a World War I add-on for CFS3 available at www.offaerodrome.com Despite numerous known glitches like incompatibility with virus software and jittering with dual core processors (fixed with an AMD dual processor patch) the software was easy to install. The simulation is good looking and fun to fly, but due to the ...
