Great Sim! FS 2004 is the first flight simulator I've ever used, and what a great introduction to the genre! I am not a pilot (though I do have aspirations), and the ground school and flying lessons included were more than enough information to get me off the ground. They're informative, easy, and fun! They do take some patience, though. The amount of realism is unbelievable. While I may not be qualified to compare the "feel" of the simulated airplane to the real thing (see above), I can say that looking out the window at the scenery is incredibly satisfying. The ground textures are somewhat lacking, but the weather effects are incredible, and the modeling of major landmarks is VERY detailed. Fly over the Las Vegas strip, or buzz the Eiffel Tower, and you'll know what I'm talking about. I bought this game shortly after it was released, and since then I've logged countless hours of enjoyable flight. I highly recommend this title.
