Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: very informative instructions on flying the aircraft.

Weakness: controlling the aircraft with the keypad--very difficult. need joystick to enjoy the flying experience!!

Highly recommended!! Awesome!! the graphics are great!! Looks like you are really flying!! You can fly from or to anywhere you want, you choose!!! Check out different views and scenery!!! But I would recommend purchasing a cool joystick and "off you go into the wild blue yonder"!!

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: Lessons were great and easy to understand. I love all the different aircraft.

Weakness: None that I have found.

This is the first flight simulator I have used and I admit to being a little edgy about flying but found the lessons easy to read. The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 A Century of Flight has fulfilled a dream of flying for me. I love all the different aircraft and the preset weather conditions. I now spend many fun hours flying.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: Well organized, easy to use, realistic, expandable

Weakness: Not easy to file in the air

I was very surprised---in my younger days I had several thousand hours of flight experience in the military. Other than not being able to get sensations of forces---the program presents flying experiences as good as any simulator I used in real life---well worth the money---very enjoyable.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: Undoubtedly THE Best Flight Simulator "out there" !!!

Weakness: The 747-400 aircraft which was introduced in the 2002 version dropped in this one.

I have been using Microsoft Flight Simulators (among other brands) for a LONG time now, and the Microsoft ones have always been ahead of the other brands. The 2002 version took a great leap in terms of looks and graphics, and this 2004 version takes the product even farther, continuing the tradition. I would highly recommend it for anybody who has a passion for the great "art" of Flying!!!

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: Great graphics

Weakness: None

A very realistic flight simulator, with superb graphics. As a licensed pilot, I found FS 2004 to be as close as you can get to actually flying! The many choices of aircraft is a great feature as well.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: Scenery is much improved over the previous versions. Also flight instructions are better.

Weakness: None

It seems that the instructions are improved and more detailed. The addition of the newer version of a GPS system is a real plus. It takes more time to learn all the differnt things that can be done but it would seem to be a more realistic set up. I have enjoyed flying the various aircraft.

By member: springee - Jan 21, 2004

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: This version has more planes and more weather to fly through. Plus seems even more real then previous versions.

Weakness: none

I have had all the flight simulators since they first came out. This one is the best yet. I love playing it. It just keeps getting better and better! I like the extra planes and the realistic graphics. It's fun flying through different weather patterns...wind, rain, etc.

By member: tshafer - May 4, 2005

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: Awesome graphics and realism. By far the best flight simulator.

Weakness: Requires "somewhat" large operating system for optimum performance. but smaller systems will work ok.

If you want the widest choices in aircraft and actual airports, maps, with the most realistic weather and conditions, than this is a must have!

By member: creneafly1on - Jan 12, 2004

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century of Flight

Strengths: More planes and better graphics.

Weakness: none

I think this is the best one yet! I like the extra planes and also the graphics are better. Very life-like, especially the weather and instrument conditions.

By member: thdrought - Nov 16, 2005

Great Product

Strengths: Good scenery, realistic, a good training aid

Weakness: Crashes my PC a lot

I really enjoy using Microsoft Flight Simulator. Wanting to ventue into becoming a pilot, using this product along with my flight books, I am able to get comfortable with the controls, instruments and procedures on the ground. The only problem I have with the game is that it crashes a lot. I searched Microsoft Support, and their recommendation is to start my PC in a "Safe Mode" environment.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight

MSFS 2004 "A Century of Flight" Is not only entertaining but informative as well. You can learn about many historical flights and actually view small 45-second video clips of both real and rendered video. In addition there is also information about these historical flights right at your fingertips. If that is not enough, jump in the cockpit and experience for yourself what it was like to fly one...
