   MSFS2K is one fantastic civilian flight simulator.

   As a student Pilot at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, in Daytona Beach Florida, I am very familiar with how aircraft perform. Microsoft Flight Sim 2000 (i have Professional [mmmm Mooney/Kingair]) is very close to the real thing. The downloadable real-world weather data makes it possible to go fly “right now” in curerent conditions. The aircraft perform how they should, plus you can try things you wouldn’t dream of in real life. “Gee Mike, are you doing aerobatics in the concorde again? They have an extra 300 for that you know!”

   Graphic/terrain Detail is superb. I can find and recognize airports & major roads (IFR = I follow roads) from just about anywhere and there are more 3D buildings to look at than ever. The weather looks fantastic (check out a thunderstorm in a 777 or a Lear sometime) You need a real fast gaming system to maintain playability though.

   With the amount of end-user support for flight sim 98, you can be sure thet there will be hundreds of new aircraft to download, along with other new goodies.

   Multiplayer is tons of fun, as several students and i fly together regularly. We even have a dispach student play as an “observer” in the tower view to act as our ATC, just like in real life.

   Good for its time, but now it is dated…
   FS2000 was an INCREDIBLE program when it came out around 2000 (go figure…) but for the year 2006-2007, I would HIGHLY suggest FSX, if you computer can handel it.

   I was very disappointed because the game is not compatible with many video cards so check for compatibility before you buy and MUST be played with the CD in the drive!Also listed minimum game requirements are misleading you need at least a 500MHZ system with at least 128Mb of ram for just reasonable framerates(10 to 20)!

   Not a review – just a heads-up
   I got this game a few years back as a steal, thinking that my P4 wouldn’t satisfactorily run “FS 2002″, or that the differences between the two were minor enough to obviate the…

   An exciting, learning experience
   I have long wanted to get into the left hand seat of an airplane, and MS FS does an excellent job of that.

   Flight Simulator 2000 adds a new level of realism to an already stupendous game! There’s just nothing like taking off in a Concorde at sunset in computer gaming – it’s a truly unique experience. Panel detail is greatly improved from previous FS versions, and one of the coolest features is the online weather updating – you can fly through a thunderstorm that also exists in real-life. One word of caution, however; make sure you have a 3D accelerator and at least a Pentium II, or you won’t experience the effects fully. (It will still be fun with older machines, but you won’t get zippy 30 fps framerates and beautiful effects). A great gift for any airplane enthusiast!

   Where is the Mississippi River?
   I give Flight Simulator 2000 one star because it works. It only crashes my system after I exit the game and try to play something else.

    This is the best game! Besides the 20,000 different airports you can go to, it is a major sightseeing fun factor.

    Private Pilot Certification
    one thing I really enjoyed about this program is finally being able to have our efforts as an armchair pilot noticed.

    Microsoft Flight Sim 2K Pro edition
    What pushes the 2K Pro. past the middle star in the 5 star rating is the additional air craft. There may be more detailed scenery but the details are no better than the vanilla…
