I bought this game for my father. He always wanted to be a pilot and has really enjoyed this game. It is perfect for someone who is just getting started. I am thrilled that he is enjoying this so much.Customer Review: Flight Sim in the Southern Caribbean

I bought the flight simulator for myself but once I showed it to my husband, I lost the use of my laptop. He went from a man who had never seen a use for a computer to one who will sit for hours looking for the correct runway to land his plane. Neither of us are very good pilots though, using the handy controls for the game, everything is toned down for a beginner. It's one thing to fly a plane but to allow wind currents and traffic, weather, and the threat of running out of fuel affect it, let's put it this way, this is a game a novice can enjoy as well as those who are experienced in flying. I like it!Customer Review: Excellent game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent piece of software. I am a professional aerospace engineer and I can assure that they have the physics done very well. It would be perfect it I was good enough pilot to fly the planes! Customer Review: Fun game but needs improvement as far as the way the gauges look and the plane operates
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the learning references are excellent and very informative, the planes and there actual methods of operation suck by reality standards. If you are a true boeing fan and like to fly the "heavies" you will pinch yourself for a reality check when you try out the PMDG lineup of 737s and 747s. You will never want to go back to the microsoft planes after you try PMDG for the first time! Although the jets are very complicated to start up and prepare for flight, they are so worth it! You will very rarely have engine stalls and the actual simulation itself is as authentic as authentic can get. If you're interested check out precisionmanuals.com. This game is necessary as prerequisite for playing PMDG so if you only want to fly the PMDG planes by the way this review sounds, you will still need to install MSFS2004 first. But if you only want to fly the MSFS planes, I say good luck with trying.
To make learning how to operate the gauges and buttons easier be sure to check into the Microsoft flight simulator 2004 strategy guide. That is the only way you will ever learn to get it up and then get it back down successfully time and time again
