Flight Simulator X Gold Edition Computer Game

Pros: Not a bad price, easy for beginers, graphics card not needed for low graphics playing.

Cons: You need a joy stick , you need a graphics card for Great graphics.

The Bottom Line: I would recomend this to all my friend. It is the best simulation I have ever used. If you do buy it, buy the deluxe version.

Review: This is a awsome flight simulator, esp. with the hundreds of addons available. First of all if you want to buy Flight Simulator X you need to have Windows XP or Windows Vista other wise it will not work. You will also need at least 512 RAM. This is ...

Pros: Most realistic general aviation and commercial aviation simulator to date.

Cons: Requires a modern computer to run.

The Bottom Line: Get FS10 if you have a fast computer. Get FS9 if your system is slow or older than 6 months. Be prepared to upgrade your hardware either way.

Review: This is by far the smoothest and prettiest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Right out of the box, Flight Simulator 10 is what Flight Simulator 9 is only after hundreds of dollars of add-on software. As you would expect, it will run best on the ...

Pros: I got to fly in my hometown!!(Squamish Canada) really neat, and sorta realistic

Cons: Very demanding of my system, and some stuff WON'T work

Review: I'm running a two year old p4 2.4g with 512ram and a 9250 radeon 128m vid card. I have everything set on low and it's still very laggy an my computer... aaah well... time to upgrade.... But It said it could run on 1.0G system LOL...good luck! ...

Pros: It doesn't matter the con outweighs all the pros.

Cons: The frame rate is awful. (Even with over recommended power).

The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. Get Flight Simulator 2004 instead.

Review: I am a huge plane enthusiast and as a result I am also a big flight simulator one as well. I have gotten every flight simulator since 95 and there is no doubt that as an overall company Microsoft makes the best one. I really enjoyed flight simulator 2004 ...

Pros: Really cool specialized missions and G force effects

Cons: It can bring fast computers to their knees but just moving the sliders up.

The Bottom Line: Save you're money as it is a total resource hog that will have even a fast gaming computer screaming for mercy.

Review: I actually got a speeding ticket going to get this game the day it came out as I being a flight simulator fan couldn't wait for it to come out. I get the box and read the specs and they are: - Microsoft Windows XP or Vista - RAM: 256 MB if running XP, ...

Pros: Accurate topography included, very pretty airplanes.

Cons: Needs a super powerful computer to operate satisfactorily.

The Bottom Line: Wait about three to five years to allow technology to catch up and prices to drop, and get what is today a top of the line rig.

Review: I bought the hype so I bought knowing I would have to lower my settings a bit. I have a 2.53GHz P4, 1G RAM and an NVidia 7600 GS video card. I run FS2004 with MegaScenery and all sorts of add-ons with the sliders maxed out with no glitches whatsoever. I ...

Pros: Will work good on a 4,000 dollar computer

Cons: Bad frame rates. So so New planes.

Review: I have a duo core 2.6 with a 7600 GT over clocked machine and still have to have on low settings. Planes are a little better. But flightsim 2004 is way better for machines 2.2 ghz. Flightsim X you need at least 3.0 ghz and a real fast video card. And i ...

Pros: 2 DVDs as opposed to 4 CD's. Protective case. Nice interface.

Cons: Processor and graphics hog. High end PC's can't even handle this game.

Review: Functionality is all the same (option settings, controls, etc), new planes, new layouts, and promises to be an improvement. However, I spend more time tweaking the game enough to just "get by" than playing it. Its frustrating to have a setup like mine ...
