Tin Wings
FSX was a Christmas gift. I am not a gamer.
I had no expectations on how it would install or run. I have a DELL 2200 Inspiron I'm not sure what it has inside but the simulator works pretty good. It does take a long time - 3-4 minutes or longer to start. The graphics can be jumpy, and it is near impossible to use with a touchpad. I'm going to buy a joystick and I think it will be fine. If I had read the reviews here, I would not have bought FSX. And after reading them I may try the FS2004.

2 years before its time
This product is a hog. Unbelivable that Microsoft would release a product like this. Seems like it's designed to make you upgrade to a new computer and Vista. Even if you meet the "minimum requirements", the program takes an incredible amount of time to load and you can't use settings that take advantage of the graphics potential. I had a fairly new XP system, but had to get a new high speed hard disk drive and DVD drive to try to use this hog, and still was dissatisfied. My son was intrigued at first, but dropped it quick to go back to his PlayStation. Read the other reviews...I recommend you avoid this and use older versions like they say. This product is a ripoff.

Will not install
DVD # 1 seems to be installing smoothly, but then will not read DVD #2. Have tried several times, including after re-booting the pc. My pc is a Dell 3.4 GHz, with 2GB of RAM and a 256MB video card.
This is going back.

very bad
This is the 4th edition of Flight Sim I've owned, and this one is by far the worst. After hours of messing with it I was able to get it loaded, but it runs very slow and is over all terrible. You'd think microsoft would have made significant improvments but they failed on this one. Makes me not want to even buy microsoft products anymore. Do not waste your money or take your chances on this game.

It's from Microsoft all right
Wont install and unlike Dave I'm not so inclined to reinstall XP and backup/restore 300gigs of files just to play it. My computer is new and top of the line. Disappointed and definitely returning it
