fs2004 July 19, 2010
i got fs2004 for my birthday.i like fs2004 because it makes you feel like your really flying..unlike fs98.this simulator is very realistic.it has a variety of aircraft like the Boeing 747,Cessna 172,and old aircraft like the Wright flier,Amelia Earhart's Vega,and the dc-3. the atc is very realistic compared to fs98. during ifr's and vfr's you can change your altitude and can cancel your flight plan unlike fs2002.the flying lessons are fun and easy to understand.
 Flight simulator 2004 ..Fun and educative April 14, 2010

Flight simulator 2004 its great .. So much fun and educative, this FS 2004 runs great on my vaio laptop with the logitech attack 3 joystick that I also bought for it, which I highly reccomend it for this purposes.. I've been using FS since 12 or 13 years ago.. I remember my brother teaching me some very helpful basics lessons about navigation and all that stuff since he is a private pilot.. This 2004 Fs has lots of improvements from the 98 FS ..its more of what I expected ..I which they had included the airbus 340 but its ok ..B777 and 747 are very challening.. You will have a lot of fun and a lot of learning from this software.. 5 stars for FS 2004, and great service from amazon too..
Awesome! March 25, 2010

I own FlightSimX an FlightSim 2004, and I beleive 2004 is a much better version than FlightSimX! But That's only because I need to upgrade my computer or get a faster one to run FlightSimX (my bad). The sim studdered like crazy when running FlightSimX. But having said that, FlightSim 2004 is a really stable platform. I maxed out every setting and the frame rate wasn't affected one bit. The only time It did studder is when I installed add-ons like Las Vegas. I had to dial down the settings. Other than that, it's an awesome sim to fly. Just wish sites like [...] had as many add-ons for 2004 as they do for X!

I previously owned this game and played it for 4 years before it froze up a year ago and would not play anymore. I recently received a Civil Air Patrol game as a gift and in order to run that game I had to purchase the FS2004 again. My problem with FS2004 is that the game does not line you up with the airport runway when you are trying to land. The headings are off so I have to pause the game and check on the position of the plane in relation to the glide path to line the plane up with the runway. Also, at about 3PM in the northeast, when it is still daylight, if I fly out of northeast airports it is already dark on the game and I have a night flight. That happens even if I correct the time on the game before I fly. I think there should be more correct time of day in relation to the time on the game. If it is 4PM and the sun is out, then it should be daylight on the game, and not dark. Also, there should be a button on the game where the diagram of the entire airport shows up so you can see the runways and their numbers. If I contact a small airport to land and the game voice tells me to land at runway #36, how do I know where runway 36 is unless I fly over the airport and try to find the number myself?
Also, when I get clearance from the tower to land and I am about 300 ft. from the runway, suddenly the tower tells me to go around because there is another plane on the runway. I ignore the command and land anyway. Too late tower!! Why does the game put another plane on the runway when I had clearance to land? If I am ready to take off the tower tell me to hold short because of an incoming plane. It does not put me on the runway. Otherwise I am satisfied with the game.
