Much better than FSX!!
I have been playing this game for several years now (since it was originally released), and I have enjoyed every minute of it!! Unfortunately, the game CD was damaged, so instead of replacing it, I went out and bought FSX.
I found, to my dismay, that FSX won't work on my computer. I have a fairly good (though not great by today's standards) computer: XP-Professional with SP2, Intel Centrino Duo CPU @ 1.73GHz, 1GB of RAM, and 100GB hard drive that is only about 1/3 full. With these specs, FSX doesn't work very well. However, FX2004 works absolutley great!!
So I'm simply going to buy another FS2004, and hold on to FSX until I get a substantially better computer. If your computer specs are anything close to what mine are, I recommend you do the same.
Make no mistake: FS2004 ROCKS!!!!!!

Good enough
Bought this product as I like all flight sims. It is good. I look forward to MS coming out with another MS Flight Simulator with aircrafts like the Baron 58 and ATR-42, and a few other prop aircrafts.Something totally different, aircraft wise.
This package lives up to expectations and the improvements over the previous MS Flight Sims is huge. Really enjoyed flying the Baron 58 aircraft as I used to own one previously.

Great Game-But Graphics Aren't Too Great
I got this game in December of 2006 and it is great. The only problem is the graphics aren't too great, such as there aren't any roads. Also, there are not any airport vehicles or jetways. I'm thinking of getting FSX. Most of the bad reviews for FSX are based on the size it takes up-which is 14 GB. I do suggest this product, just if you don't know anything about flying, the "Flying Lessons" do take a long time to accomplish.

FS2004 Is The Greatest!
I've been flying FS2004 for about 2 years now, and I just love it. I started flying sims when FS98 came out. It was ok, but I knew Microsoft could do better. The scenery was cheesy (especially the mountains), and the weather was anything but realistic. FS2000 was much better, but buggy. FS2004 has gotten most of the bugs out that hurt 2000 (I didn't buy FS2002). I love the weather, especially when downloading real-weather. And, the tons of add-on (freeware and payware) do make this sim "As Real As It Gets". I haven't tried FSX yet, mainly because I just don't have the computer power to run it properly. It's been getting some bad comments. Just remember that FS2004 also got bad press when it first came out. Now, almost everyone loves it. We just have to wait for the computers to catch up with the software.

Good Sim
I like combat sims but use this one for a nice change of pace. So far this has allot of the same features as previous versions of flight simulator. I would like to figure out how to change the default resolution to fit my monitor better.
