Thursday, January 25, 2018 Not that good for me. By Dave from Dripping Springs TX USA Pros: Same day delivery Cons: Same day delivery Review: Product was slow and the stream download you have to have to run it slowed down my computer. Couldn't actually see the gauges w the graphics.

May have been my cpu. Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, January 24, 2018 Easy Install, just waiting for download so I can fly!

From Dallas, TX Pros: Very low cost compared to my past flight sims. Cons: Wasn't an instant download, but the email with the instructions and registration arrived the following morning.

Review: I once flew and sim's helped me a lot to get accustom to departing/approaching my training air field. My instructor was surprised at how much improvement came from a simple simulator.

Looking to get back into flying, I figured I'd try this sim. Install was fairly easy. Follow the instructions sent. If you can change a car tire, you can install this sim from Steam. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, September 25, 2017 It kind of worked by wayne from Pennsylvania Pros: Great when it works Cons: It stopped loading and freezes. Wish they had a better support for problems with the product.

Review: I was happy with it cause I have the original FSX, but the original stopped working. I have spent about 80 hours playing the steam version, but then one day it would not load anymore. I tried getting it fixed but not being a computer person, I haven't played it for a long time. I basically wasted my money on something I love doing is flying. I did fly a real plane back in the 70's and miss doing it. This at least made me feel like it to a degree. Now I can't even use the Steam edition.

Thursday, June 01, 2017 Best experience with MS Flight Simulator in years! By Sandy from Strongsville OH USA Pros: fast, great graphics Cons: keyboard controls confusing.use a joystick! Review: I've used MSFS since the first version came out. Due to the size of the program it's always been a problem to run it on my home computers. Using the Steam edition is the best experience I've ever had as it runs very smoothly without hanging up or slowing down.

The graphics l9ok great and it loads up quickly. Was this Review Helpful to you? Monday, May 15, 2017 Audio does not work with me - hearing lost. By Randall from Austin TX USA Pros: Noticed it gets better than old days with CD drive. Cons: Pending Review: I assumed there are a lot of audio instructions which I cannot hear.

I have been flying Real Flight 7.5 a lot and it is very visually. If I had to fly instrument flight regulation, I will not be successful with heavy audio based instructions. So I gave it low rating. If there is any transcripts like checklist, instructions in flight then I would give higher ranking.

After many hours with Real Flight simulator, I am able to fly real military trainer aircraft at AFB, using their simulator, 4 flights total without any crashes. (My son is a military pilot.) Can you provide the instruction in writing?

Thursday, April 20, 2017 I would buy this product again by TOM from Kennewick WA USA Pros: Works well with Windows 10.

Cons: Still working out some bugs when uploading addons. Review: It is the only program I have been able to use with my Windows 10 that operates well 95% of the time. There is a few smoothness issues with the flight programs but overall is good. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, April 17, 2017 Very good - I would buy this product again by Jimmy from Jacksonville FL USA Review: Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, March 21, 2017 Good for proficiency by andrew from Bolinas CA USA Pros: Set up properly a great tool for real pilots. I prefer 2-D not 3-D for a no frills scan Cons: In the Steam edition the 2-D always has a hole in the panel ( with view outside! ) where the attitude indicator belongs.

Review: I've been a user of MFSim for years for instrument practice. With yoke and rudder pedals it's a must have in my book to stay sharp for a minimal expense and if used semi regularly I'm 100% certain it keeps ones scan alive for IFR. Fly published procedures and then when it's time for the real thing you'll notice the difference, I can't imagine keeping up without it unless one flies and files IFR all the time Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, March 15, 2017 Kool features, but many don't work and graphics is outdated by John from Phoenix AZ USA Pros: It works so, so, fun but needs work, lots of it.

Cons: Not recommended as a home training device in place of a sim at a training school or facility, for small GA craft. That was Flight Sim Professional. Review: Good sim, however, with auto update 'on', some things now work that did not before, while other things have totally gone away that I liked, such as directional control of the push back feature. A lot of add-on aircraft and scenery cost lots of $$$, 70% of these products were free in Fltsim 2004/6.

I should be allowed to add upto 10 free aircraft and add updates to 15 of my favorite cities and arpts free before a charge. Because like most, I want 30-40 different aircraft (not liveries), actual different types/categories and class of aircraft. The FMS on all the aircraft, specifically the jets and turbo twins, does not functi N or work, so it ruins the 'As real as it gets' Was this Review Helpful to you? Friday, March 10, 2017 I already bought it, very good flight experience by KEITH from El Paso TX USA Pros: gps, terrain, varity of airports Cons: I encounted an full on icing stal.there is no referance to icing in the learning center. Review: Great for flying basics, no feel of high 'g' turns but great for navigating and extreme weather conditions. You can visit tropical islands and snow bound mountain retreats.

Saturday, February 25, 2017 Works on Windows 10 when my boxed version didn't! By D Thomas from Lawrenceburg IN USA Pros: Runs on Windows 10! Cons: (none) Review: I was hugely disappointed when my boxed FSX Gold Edition + Acceleration would not run on Windows 10, for whatever reason.

This Steam version runs on 10 more smoothly than my boxed set did on former Windows 7. Was this Review Helpful to you? Friday, February 24, 2017 by Mike from Phoenix AZ USA Pros: It has many features and options.

Great potential. Cons: Could not find Customer Service number for rudder/nose wheel control issues. Review: It has many features and options. Great potential. However, significant trouble using numeric keys and keyboard keys to control rudder/nose wheel for taxi and flying.

Could not find Steam phone number. Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, February 21, 2017 microsoft flight sim x steam edition by Bluebelles from Scappoose OR USA Pros: robbed of site listings Cons: poor quality cities, towns, buildings, roads. Original was better Review: I was more than happy with the original. For some strange reason Steam has removed certain locations and sells them as upgrades however after using I have found that all this upgrade does is replace the site in the menu. It mifs me that I have now had to buy this product 3 times because Microsoft refuses to allow transfer to another computer.

I don't know why but bridges and ramps are in place but highways and roads are just a path looks real amateurish. The original was like being there. Was this Review Helpful to you? Thursday, January 26, 2017 An OK game for starters by CJ from Grand Haven MI USA Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Inexpensive Review: I expected more than I got.This game is OK, but not as good as previous versions.

I dislike the movements in the cockpit when accelerating and stopping. Many gauges are difficult to read and many switches are inoperable.

Was this Review Helpful to you? Thursday, January 26, 2017 Great Product for staying sharp by Paul from Spring TX USA Pros: Great cost per training hour; Saves time in the plane Cons: Too many key strokes to remember. Review: This product is great if you can't make it to the airport or weather is too bad to go up. Bought the Yoke and pedals and works great once you figure out and set the sensitivity settings to your liking. This is really great for practice time and saves time in the plane. I do wish they'd add more aircraft to choose from.

Was this Review Helpful to you? Friday, December 02, 2016 Everything is way said it would be by Anthony from Warminster PA USA Pros: Numerous aircraft to fly, the entire world to fly around,good cockpit recreations. Cons: Scenery could have been more realistic Review: I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to fly. Realistic experience with unlimited number of experiences available.

Was this Review Helpful to you? Sunday, November 13, 2016 All default aircraft by Keith from Saint Louis MO USA Pros: Easy to get up and going or flying, very easy to set the aircraft up Cons: The overall aircraft themselves I'm not enough challenge for me I like to really get into the aircraft and set it up working with the FMC and programming it I like high-end flight simulators are add-ons Review: It's a pretty good flight Sims if you don't want to do too much to get up and flying very easy Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, October 19, 2016 Worked well enough that I bought two. By A Customer from Cary IL USA Pros: Cheap and easy to use. Don't need mega computer to run Cons: Lack of upgrades Review: Don't expect a lot of extras, but for basics this is hands down a bargain at $20 bucks. You can fly it for awhile and not feel bad about walking away because you won't have a fortune invested.

The download went seamless, just make sure you have fast internet. This is the second time I bought this product, I fly with my son who lives across the country. Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, October 19, 2016 Good bang for the buck by A Customer from Cary IL USA Pros: works fine on my old laptop with 2gig of RAM Cons: Lack of any additional airplanes to download.

Review: Great system for a beginner or just to play around. Enough variation of planes to have fun. This is not for an avid flight sim flyer. Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, October 04, 2016 A Windows 10 good choice by Randall from Chicago IL USA Pros: Great graphics, cockpits and choice of locations and airports. Cons: No LSA's or homebuilt planes, very few single engine props Review: Very good graphics, realism and speed. Amazingly large database of locations and airports.

Cockpits and controls are well rendered and 'life-like'. The Lessons are concise and easy to follow. A welcome upgrade to the good old Flight Sim 2004 The sole 'negative' so far would be the very small number of general aviation single engine prop planes and no home built types or LSA's. I'm not interested in flying commercial airliners Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, September 20, 2016 by Ron from Phoenix AZ USA Review: Graphics are fair control could be better some planes have no avionics at all.

From outside view the plane jumps back and forth as if the simulator were skipping. Definitely worth the money good training. Was this Review Helpful to you? Saturday, September 10, 2016 by from Review: Not intuitive nor with many good instructions included. Thank goodness for youtube to get you going. Definitely need to invest in a as keyboard and mouse are really awkward.

Great base though for IFR training imho. Can't beat the price. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, May 23, 2016 Important function(s) not available by A Customer from Palm Bay FL USA Review: It's okay but you can't record your flights for review and critique.

To me, that's an important function that's missing from the steam edition. I guess it gives new meaning to 'you get what you pay for.' Was this Review Helpful to you?

Monday, March 14, 2016 Not what I expected by Edward from Belen NM USA Pros: Price Cons: See my review Review: The only reason I made this purchase is because like many of us who switched to Windows 10 out FS 2004? No longer worked in the new operating system.

I found the flight modeling on the commercial jet aircraft to be not realistic - i.e., idle thrust creates a much higher thrust level so high in fact that you cannot slow down on approach, of at idle your plane flies 'forever'. Also there is no cd disk in the box you receive - just an internet code for downloading. I will try to purchase Prepar 3D and add ons from PMDG however I am not confidient there will be no issues. I found the older FS versions that worked with Windows 7 much better.

Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, February 24, 2016 Not the 'Personal Touch' of FS 2002 by Thomas from Milwaukie OR USA Pros: Nice aircraft Cons: Not as personal Review: I miss the tutorials that were available with the older versions of Flight Simulator. It seemed like the instructor was there with you. Now you are told what 'the mission' is and left alone to succeed or fail. This is more of a trial and error structure. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Wednesday, February 17, 2016 A lot of bang for the buck by ReformedFlunky from Morganton NC USA Pros: A lot of fun factor in it, enough to entertain for a long while. Cons: Can't think of any. Review: I bought this program for $20 so I wasn't expecting too much, just the basics in flying and simple functions. Yet to my surprise, it came quite well equipped with many missions and an assorted amount of aircraft.

I love pleasant surprises and playing this game is certainly pleasant. Was this Review Helpful to you? Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Easy download and install by Dave from Elizabethtown PA USA Pros: Great experience at reasonable price Cons: None that I've experienced Review: I had the disc edition, but the #2 disc cracked. Needless to say my heartless 'friends' at Microsoft couldn't help. I downloaded Steam global addition and now am flying once again. Was this Review Helpful to you?

Thursday, January 28, 2016 Terrific Learning Aid by JSsmallcal from Pittsburgh PA USA Pros: Attractive visuals on a 2.GHz CPU with 4 GB memory Cons: Manual not included Review: I had experience with MS Flight Simulator decades ago.There is no comparison to the current offering. In between I had many hours of instruction in a Cessna 172. I paired the software with a joystick and rudder pedals from CH Products and the simulation is extremely consistent with real life performance.

This combination will speed my re-entry into private aviation. Was this Review Helpful to you?

I cannot get any aircraft to 'capture' the glideslope. I can usually get the localizer but no glideslope. The ATC instructions are confusing, to a layman, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but it's frustrating. I've spent hours reading the instructions but still can't get it. Or a software issue? I need better instructions for using Garmin flight planner/approach computer.

Sunday, January 30, 2011 not very good overall by RazzyMan from USA Pros: Huge amount of variation and downloadable customisation Cons: Rubbish graphics away from the aircraft. Terain is not near to accurate for most places. Frame rates are rubbish even on a very highspec machine on windows 7 Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Gold Edition I use this on a high spec quad core machine and high brow graphics card and tons of ram. The sim works well enough in most scenarios but the graphics away from the aircraft are very poor! Worst thing is the red bull missions since the frame rates drop to very slow 10 to 14 fps and even with lowest setting applied, the flying is so jerky the missions are impossible to fly. Overall very dissapointing. Il2 1964 is better which was a surprise to me!

Hopefully the Microsoft Flight sim coming out in the nearish future apparently will be programmed to run correcltly and use the ram etc efficiently enough to make the game high brow graphics with good frame rates all around. Please get it right this time. Was this Review Helpful to you? Saturday, January 29, 2011 Lousy product by A Customer from Daytona Beach Pros: Not many Cons: Poor interface with Saitek Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Gold Edition The product is disappointing at best. Don't believe the 1.0GHz requirements.

Really, should be a min of 2.5 GHz if you wnt any sort of decent resolution. Looks more like a kids toy that is difficult to use. The Saitek yoke and rudder pedals simply SUCK!

Friday, February 19, 2010 by A Customer from Wagoner OK USA Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition - a part of the Gold Edition Comparing this to other Microsoft flight simulators it 'stinks'. The art work is more like poster art. Not natural or photographic. This is more like a child's game than an adult flight simulator.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 Colorful and somewhat realistic by Daryl from Mount Pleasant IA USA Pros: Easy to use, many choices for flight. Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition - a part of the Gold Edition I use it in a middle school classroom and the kids really like it.

They are very quiet because they are busy at work and like the hand/eye coordination needed to fly. The kids like to fly the small planes, the kite and the helacopter the most. This program is used in an explore/exposure mode for the kids. Was this Review Helpful to you? Thursday, June 25, 2009 by A Customer from Barbados, West Indies Review: I would buy this product again.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Perfect training aid by Pete from Oregon Pros: Great practice- especially IFR.

Cons: Needs good, fast PC with good video card. Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition - a part of the Gold Edition Be aware! This simulator requires a fast processor with a good video card. But you don't need a full blown 'gamers' PC.

A good unit can be bought for under $800 (and you need a good PC at home anyway, right?). Once you are set up, it is a great training aid. I have read all of the negative comments already posted here. All of the complaints can be resolved with a little research and practice. There are a lot of view options available to make the experience close to real. I bought an inexpensive (under $25) joystick with rudder control (wrist action rudder).

I moved the pot for the rudder control to a homemade foot pedal for a very inexpensive control system. If you don't like the way the keys are set up for the other controls (radios, for instance), just move them where it would be more intuitive for you. It's amazing to me that I can fly in the (virtual) Grand Canyon and converse with another pilot (who happens to be from Germany)in a plane close by while we are both looking at the same scenery. IN REAL TIME!!! That's fantastic when you think about it (while in multi-player mode)!!

This 57 year old, computer illiterate is totally blown away by what technology has brought into our homes to make our lives more enjoyable and provide an education at low cost. Anyone under 30 doesn't know how amazing this technology is. Thanks to all the FREEWARE folks for that! If it wasn't for them we would be paying 10 times as much for less product.

Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition - a part of the Gold Edition Pretty stable, with very little problem to operate. Wish it had a operating manual instead of a HELP you have to access via the program. Makes it awkward when flying to 'pause', then access a stupid help menu. Don't like the virtual cockpit function.hard to fly, particulary when doing an approach and you keep hitting different view keys by accident.

Was this Review Helpful to you? Wednesday, March 21, 2007 Very detailed Sim - great addition for a student pilot.

By A Customer from Heidelberg Germany Pros: Detailed airports, rivers and highways for navigation. Cons: I think the tutorials could be better.

Learning the multitudes of buttons is very tedious. Review: Note: This review was originally written for Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition - a part of the Gold Edition This is a great sim. It has really helped me with my flight lessons. My instructor was suprised by how quickly I was going thru the lessons. Has a bunch of aircraft and missions. Would like to see more missions though such as different RED BULL Race courses.

Learning all the buttons is not intuitive and the instructions seem lacking here. I am using pedals and a yoke for added realism. Have a fast computer or you will have to turn the detail down.

This unofficial strategy guide to Flight Simulator X video game will help in learning all the basic elements of this very complex and challenging simulator. The first pages of the guide contain a list of the popular terminology used by the pilots themselves and by the ATC crew. They also describe the most important things about navigating the plane, including descriptions of the most important devices and indicators in the plane's cockpit. The remaining chapters of this strategy guide contain examples of two flights and they describe all the procedures and other things a pilot must do to complete these missions (pre-flight checks, starting the plane, flying towards destination, landing and parking the plane). Hopefully this will allow the players to become experienced enough to try completing more challenging flights. Flight Simulator X is one of the most complex simulators available on the market and it was published by Microsoft. The game puts a lot of effort into providing as much realism as possible and it's also a very big product, because it offers a chance to explore the entire globe and to take control over lots of different planes.
