Graphics were pretty good flight was ok. Putting the graphic issues aside the flying was terrible. Seriously I was soooooo looking forward to playing this game last night and when I finally did I wanted to snap the CD in half. My home town of Kansas City was horribly inaccurate. The buildings were there (for the most part) but they just looked a bit. I saw some screen shots of this game and thought "Wow those graphics are Amazing, they are so detailed. NOTHING like the advertised pictures. So far from real it was almost funny.
I had MS Flight Simulator 2000. poorly done. For one on take off you are doing like 200 MPH down the runway and it feels like 25 MPH. but the thought I just burned [.]. bucks on this and the expansion pack took away the laughter. The simulation is pathetic.
Well I was wrong. You got me Microsoft, enjoy the [.]. The buildings were cartoony and just very dissapointing. I was a decent game best I can remember. and so real looking".
Even a major city like Vegas was a bit poorly done. Take it and go fix your OS. bucks. What a HUGE dissapointment. The graphics (even pumped up to the max) are bearly better then MSFS 2000.
Turning the plane was bouncy and just felt awkward.
It really gives a thrill while flying and learning more andmore the various moves and energy sounds which enhancesabsolute happiness and wonderful experience beyond any wordsto express.
Unless the graphics are turned up to near maximum, you might as well just get or stick with FS 2004. This is unacceptable. You will be living with frame rates anywhere from 0-10 with the graphics at about the same level as they would appear on FS 2004 on max. I strongly recommend staying away from this game unless you are running a top of line core i7 processor OR HIGHER with a top of line video card and about 4+GB of ram. As many have said, FS X is horribly bogged down by an inefficient software engine. Compared to FS 2004, the graphics quality *potential* has been increased with more reflections and sharper graphics, BUT, in order to access any of that you will need to have the absolute cream of the crop computer (and I really do mean that, top of the line, no less). The terrain doesnt feel as realistic as it did on FS2004 and the overall fun of the game just isn't there anymore.
I was able to select the actual aircraft I'm training in along with the airport I fly out of. Its a very realistic flying experience and it has already helped me smooth out some of my actual flight activities. Using a yoke instead of a joystick or the keyboard contributes to the realism. FSX works well and is fun to use. As a student pilot it provides an inexpensive yet effective way for me to practice my flying. Its renderings are accurate and loaded with details.
I need to up date it. My problem is my graphics card. I will review it again when I get the card.Overall I am very satisfied. The simulator was delivered quicker than I expected. All parts work as advertised. The simulator is slow and jerky.
