"A Very Average Flight Simulation", This game can be fun to play. Making movies is fun, and trying the various adventures can be amusing as well. However, there really aren't enough adventures to keep you interested if you aren't interested in taking a three hour-flight from New York to Paris (in a Concorde, of course). Personally, I grew tired of the game after I ran out of the adventures. I tried the lessons, and it's fun to try to land at an airport in a storm, at night...but after you beat those things, there's really no reason to try to do them again.

You can also try to earn the various liscences that real-world pilots can. For instance, you can try to earn an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) Certificate by flying a 737 around, performing various maneuvers. It is fairly fun, and will keep your interest for a while. Once you get the hang of flying the planes though, the tests become easy, and present little challenge. Until you master them, however, they will keep you busy.

The game also gives you the GPS coordinates for most of the famous landmarks, so you don't have to fly around looking for them yourself. I used that tactic on several occasions, just jumping to the area I wanted.

As with any flying game, landing is a real challenge. In general, it will take you a little while to master the art of landing, but that's only day time approaches. Night time landings are a whole different story. Just finding the runway is often a challenge, although radar helps a lot. Still, until you learn to use radar to the best of your ability, you'll pretty much rely on your sight to tell you where things are.

I think that what I was expecting from this game was something akin to a storytelling game, in which you took the role of a young pilot's live, and completed various tests until you finally get the "Ok" to fly, then flying to various places (as a real-world pilot would) for money, until you retired, and bought more airplanes. Of course, that isn't the way the game is, and it is one of the reasons why, after you master the game, you have no reason to re-play it. You can pretty much fly anywhere you want at the beginning of the game, and so there's no reason to even attempt some of the various license tests, unless you're really desperate for something new to try.

Therefore, the gameplay is very average. I think that if this game had more "adventures", and/or had more things to do in multi-player, it would have recieved a five in this area. As it stands, however, it needs a lot more re-play value before it is considered an "excellent" flight sim.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Pro is a very average game. It's controls are very good, it's graphics are awesome (but the price you pay for that is a lot of slowdown), and the re-play value is minimal. You can also play it on Microsoft's Zone .... but I didn't even try that, simply because of the fact that, if I'm having this much slowdown in the single player game, the multi-player game will probably not even work for me. Not only that, I really don't see how flying commercial aircraft would be really fun with other people. What would you do, race someone from New York to Paris? I think that the real hard-core flight simmers might like the the idea of racing your buddy like that, but for me, it really doesn't have that much potential. However, the game, played in single player, is fairly fun. I enjoyed flying around New York City, seeing the Statue of Liberty, and the various other sites. As far as I know, Microsoft hasn't released a patch to delete the World Trade Towers from the game, so they're still there.

The manual is very well designed, and will tell you how to fly your plane with little fuss. Lessons are included in the game as well. However, I found it hard to find some of them...as in, you have to navigate through several of the in-game menus before you actually find anything. However, you really need to read the manual before you go flying, unless you turn the realism settings on low.

There are also several of what this game calls "adventures". Basically, what they are, are pre-developed flights with a certian objective. For instance, in one "adventure" your prop plane runs out of fuel out in the middle of the ocean. You get permission to land on an air-craft carrier that just happens to be patrolling the area. You then have to land your plane, with no engine power, on the deck. Very innovative. In another "adventure" you have to fly under the Russians radar in Red Square to try to land your plane. Supposedly, if you don't fly under the radar, they will target you, and shoot you down. However, I have never had that happen to me, no matter where I flew my plane.

You can also create your own movies. However, I found this fairly confusing, and really didn't get into it much. It has potential though. Imagine flying over Paris at night in a Concorde...then watching what your plane did. Since you have a cockpit view, you really can't see the outside of your plane...so with a movie, you would get to do that. Movies also have the potential to be cool if you are interested in airplane aerobatics.

In case it needs to be said, I would HIGHLY recommend playing this game with a joystick. I can't remember if it actually says that a joystick is required on the back of the game's box, but regardless, If you want this game, you really should buy a joystick. I can't imagine playing this game with a key-board and mouse.

Overall, I would recommend this game to hard-core flight simmers who want to absolute most realistic thing they can get their hands on, and don't mind some slowdown. To people that want to fly, but want something to do while they're up there, I would steer them away from this game, and insted direct them toward a combat flight simulation.

"FS2000 Professional Edition", Suitable for PC with slower CPU like PII. It doesn't require a very good video card, 4MB RAM can run very smooth, of course more RAM means better, suggest 8-32MB.

"Awesome... AND, on a PII 300mHz machine!", Everyone knows the vast improvement of FS2000 Pro over 98, so by all means get it.

NOW, you CAN get good results with a slower machine! I have a P2 300mHz on a 66mHz buss (That's IT!), and it cruises. Here's how: 32mb AGP NVidia card (not even running at 2x or 4x!) with the latest driviers from NVidia.com. You need to get a minimum of 32mb, or forget it. The card was less than 50 bucks! THEN, go to Options --> Display, and click on Enable Hardware Acceleration. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. I run Win2K Pro (runs faster than 98 in my world), DirectX 8.1, and 192mb Ram. I do have the Scenery Complexity cranked all the way up. BUT, TURN OFF the ground shadows, and you'll have a great flight. If you have a faster processor or buss (or both), it'll all be that much better. But the graphics card is the big one. They're cheap right now, so get 32mb minimum. I have a VAIO I use with a 600mHz P3 but only 8mb video ram, and FS2000 runs on that like a truck with square wheels, so don't bank on the processor speed.

Happy Flying!

"You need a good graphics accelerator.", I keep reading about people with fairly fast systems (800 mhz) and up running this game and hating the frame rates. I'm also reading that these same people are using 8MB or 16MB graphics accelerators... The truth is, if you have a such a system, flight simulator WILL work reasonably well, IF you get rid of the slow graphics accelerator. This is because 8 MB graphics cards are a joke to this game, and they make the main processor work much harder, slowing things down. An 8MB card is like running a race car on snow tires; the two don't work well together to produce speed. So don't get a new computer, get a 32MB or better yet, a 64MB graphics accelerator for your system. (And if you can afford it, I'd also suggest you get some RAM.) You'll see that you DON'T need a brand new Pentium IV 1.7 GHz or anything that fast that to effectively run the game. One last thing: I suggest running the display at 1024 X 768 at 16 bit. Fiddle around with the display and scenery settings until you get a "decent" frame rate. Good luck!

"PIII 1000& still a slide show!!!", I have a PIII 1000 MHz cpu,512 MB SDRAM,GeForce 1 32 MB Graphics card & Still this sim is a slide show.Which machine do I have to buy because this sim can run perfectly(average 30 FPS)?!!!. Cenk

"good, but could be better", I was both happy and disappointed with this version of Microsoft's Flight Simulation. I was happy with the fact that this version of flight simulator has about five times more airports and navaids than Flight Simulator 98 had. Also, the GPS included with the simulator is a great tool for the novice pilot who has no idea how to get from one point to the other. Another feature I liked was the realism of the game. You can adjust the realism settings of your simulator and even download real world weather. The cockpits of the different aircraft are also amazing with realitic panels and close attention to detail. I also think the printed manual that comes with the game is excellent, even if it is a little thick. There are also several things about the game that disappointed me. First is the scenery graphics. I was suprised that this Flight simultor did not use the same scenery graphics as Combat Flight simulator, which were excellent. The scenery graphics in this simulator are not that much improved over those in Microsoft's Flight Simulator 98. Second, I thought the playablity of the simulator lacked something to be desired. Even on fast computers, I experienced hesitations in the game when I was turning and landing the plane. Overall, the playability of the simulation is not as smooth as flight Simulator 98. Finally, I had trouble getting the simulation to work on a couple of computers. On one computer, I had to tweak with the CD-ROM settings before the ROM would recognise the CD. On another computer, I frequently got errors and freeze-ups. Overall, Flight Simulator 2000 is not bad, but I was expecting a much better simulation.

"Pretty much good", Now i know that i'm harsh on people's games and always give them less than three stars but hey, that's what i have to do. I have to tell the truth, and well, flight simulator 2000 deserves good grades. In the past couple of years, microsoft produced excellant games such as flight sim 98 and well i am very interested in flying huge commercial aircrafts. Here's my chance to fly a plane and not die IF i crash! Flight sim wether 98 or 2000 gives you the excitment of a real time flight. Now the flight sim on proffesional edition gives you more planes to ride. I've read a message from a 10 year old gamer saying that turning the plane left or right would turn the plane upside down! Well, he has a point, but on 2000 flight sim, you can freeze horizontal or vertical movement. All you have to do is to read the manuals book. That's why it's there! Now, i live in kuwait and so i have alot of knowledge of my country's airport! When i checked it out on flight sim, the buildings were in real shape and in real location. For an advice, i'd say flight sim 2001 has to become even more realistic! Before you get excited and order the game, let me warn you, although the game is fantastic, the game may run slowly if you have an old system version but if you have a new system version, then just worry about crashing your plane! good luck! try not to crash on my house!

"Not worthy of the Microsoft name.", As with most of us ,I have used Microsoft software for years. Some of which I liked and some I didn't. This flight simulator is about the worst product I have seen. Definately the worst I have seen from Microsoft. If Microsoft continues to ship "garbage" such as this, there will be no need for the Justice Department to break them up as there will be no Microsoft to break up.

"Not bad...", This is a really hard to fly simulator. If you want to turn left or right, it turns the plane upside down and you crash. Also, a Pentium III or later is required for best control (I have a Pentium III at 866mHZ, 128MB RAM, and a 32MB video card, and it still takes time to load views from the tower, etc.). Also, this is a real memory hogger. It just took up 520 MB of my memory (1420 MB is needed for a Complete installation).

I would definitely recommend a flight yoke or joystick. It makes every plane easier to fly. If you don't know how to fly, you have to read the Pilot's Handbook (over 200 pages long) and take lessons (really takes up a lot of your time). In my opinion, the Cessna 182S is easiest to fly, since it takes off and flies by itself without me doing anything including turning on Autopilot.

Overall, this is a good simulator (better than the old ones) and that's why I rate it 3 stars.

"My othe plane is a Corsair!", This is the best of the genre. each time I boot this up, I learn something new. FS 2000 is very immersive, and I can actually recognize ground features in my area! The variety of craft is excellent, though Im yet to get that Concorde off the tarmac without augering in. The downside is that it is very resource intensive.
