There’s a good variety of planes and helicopters, a stunning choice of airports and comprehensive teaching section. You can choose any weather condition, time of day/night and season, so if you want to put your flying skills to the test you can try to land in a gale force wind. I like the variety of views that are available. The scenery is mostly excellent although there are a few landmarks needing brushed up. This seems to be pretty much a total control program – it would be hard to think what needs to be added to it. Best of all it’s easy to just take a leisurely flight anywhere you please if you don’t want to tax your brain too much – and it doesn’t take too much to get flying. For the realist fans you can make it as close to life as possible. I like the humourous comentaries in the lessons though. At one point (when I missed the runway by several hundred yards) I was told “well, at least you managed to land on airport property”. It’s not cheap, but it is top quality so is worth buying.

Anyone buying this game should be aware this isn’t an arcade shooter, this is a genuine simulation with 100′s of real world airports, accurate plane models and a full living world to fly through.
I’ve just upgraded my graphics card to an ati 4890 and can now fully appreciate this game. it’s almost like flying over Google Earth, but looking down on the roads I can see cars and lorry’s cruising up the motorway as I crash into my house!
If you like full on sims this is well worth the money, if you really enjoy it purchase a track ir head tracker too, this allows you look around the cockpit with your head, while you use the mouse and keyboard for just flying the plane, it’s very cool.

Even though it claims to use(sample) Dx10 and is a fairly recent game, the graphics on FSX Gold edition seem only marginally better than what i played years ago on FS2002. It still has cardboard cutout 2D trees and is full of impossibly straight lines mixed in with blurry bits of scenery. Even with the graphics maxed out the visuals get no more impressive. In addition, the underwhelming graphic content is remarkably hard to run. I have a decent spec PC & GPU that can max out most recent and new games, giving awesome Dx10 graphics on most FPSs but FSX creeks along horribly at anything near high specs and seems to be under working my graphics card that runs at near idle temperatures even after longish periods. Overall i don’t see enough quality to justify the price over almost identical older versions that just cost a few quid.

My two grandsons and myself have had lots of enjoyment flying various aircraft around areas that we know. I was amazed at the quality of the product and marvel at the hours and technical knowledge of those computer programmers to made this Flight Simulator possible. What was not clear on the advert for the Gold Edition was the tremendous number of airfields and airports from all over the world that are catered for on this version. They even include small airfields near to where we live in Shropshire. I would recommend this Flight Simulator,which is very cheap when you consider all the work that has gone into it. I would also recommend that you buy a joystick to operate it which is much easier and lifelike than controlling aircraft by keyboard or mouse. Bob Mills.

I am very pleased with this product becuse of the range and the quality of what already comes with the package. I would recommend this product more than the other versions becuase it comes with the delux edition and the accelerate expansion pack with it. When the graphics are set on to high settings, the scenery, planes and weather all look fantastic. The extra missions you get with the acceleration pack are fun and challenging. There is a wide range of payware quality addons that are around for it but be careful because there are still alot of them around for FS2004 and check the compatability before you buy. Over all it is a fantastic package and I have enjoyed it.
