Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I first saw FS back in the early(ish) days around 1988. I just had to have it, and FS2000 was no exception. I ordered my copy sight unseen, and then thought I'd made a bad mistake when I saw some people's comments about processor speed etc.
I'm running a P3 at 450MHz, with a 16Mb graphics card and 128MB of RAM. I'd have to rate the performance as "above acceptable" with all the bells and whistles. I can turn off some of the fluffy stuff and get good frame rates (in the 40fps region).
The graphics are simply incredible. Turn the aircraft around on a sunny day and admire the glare of the sun. Great flight models on all the aircraft (no surprise there). I just love the Concorde and the 777 - it's almost worth getting for those two alone.
A number of new features crept in between FS98 and this version. The flight planner is much more useful (since you can pick waypoints from a map - great if the geography of Iowa isn't high in your mind). I love the GPS addition also.
I miss cockpit communications (unless I just haven't found it yet). It would be nice to Request to Land/Takeoff at a minimum.
On the whole - if you've got a respectable machine, buy it to show off the graphics to your friends, and if you're a pilot, turn down the graphics quality and you'll have a great experience. Trust me.
