Due to the size of the program it's always been a problem to run it on my home computers. Using the Steam edition is the best experience I've ever had as it runs very smoothly without hanging up or slowing down. The graphics l. 9ok great and it loads up quickly. Cons: Pending. Review: I assumed there are a lot of audio instructions which I cannot hear. I have been flying Real Flight 7. ![]() If I had to fly instrument flight regulation, I will not be successful with heavy audio based instructions. So I gave it low rating.

It mifs me that I have now had to buy this product 3 times because Microsoft refuses to allow transfer to another computer. I don't know why but bridges and ramps are in place but highways and roads are just a path looks real amateurish \. I dislike the movements in the cockpit when accelerating and stopping. Many gauges are difficult to read and many switches are inoperable. Bought the Yoke and pedals and works great once you figure out and set the sensitivity settings to your liking. This is really great for practice time and saves time in the plane. I do wish they'd add more aircraft to choose from. Cons: Scenery could have been more realistic Review: I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to fly. Realistic experience with unlimited number of experiences available. Don't need mega computer to run. ![]() Cons: Lack of upgrades. Review: Don't expect a lot of extras, but for basics this is hands down a bargain at $2.

Customer Reviews For Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition: Write a review: Thursday, June 08, 2017 by A Customer from Juneau WI USA Review: Hard to install. Its FSX what can I say. Most of todays computers can run it well. With some addons from third party devs, FSX shines!!!! I would still recommend having at least a mid. Definitely worth the money good training. Thank goodness for youtube to get you going. Definitely need to invest in a control package as keyboard and mouse are really awkward. Great base though for IFR training imho. Can't beat the price. To me, that's an important function that's missing from the steam edition. I guess it gives new meaning to ? I had to call a professional to download. Expensive, even more than the cost of the program. I'm on it 2 to 3 hour's a day. Was this Review Helpful to you? I found the flight modeling on the commercial jet aircraft to be not realistic - i. Also there is no cd disk in the box you receive - just an internet code for downloading. I will try to purchase Prepar 3. D and add ons from PMDG however I am not confidient there will be no issues. I found the older FS versions that worked with Windows 7 much better. It seemed like the instructor was there with you. Now you are told what . This is more of a trial and error structure.

Needless to say my heartless . I downloaded Steam global addition and now am flying once again . In between I had many hours of instruction in a Cessna 1. I paired the software with a joystick and rudder pedals from CH Products and the simulation is extremely consistent with real life performance. This combination will speed my re- entry into private aviation. Adequate scenery. Cons: Instant replay cannot record all functions of PMDG 7. Review: Runs well on my Dell XPS 8. Bit processor with G Force 2 gyg video card. I am running 2 add on aircraft. Having allot of fun with it! Better graphics and performance than the original box edition. Was this Review Helpful to you? One area that I recall was the shortcoming with the GPS. He has learned a lot about flying and really engages with this game. Graphics could be better but that is from my perspective. Accurate replications of many airports and town maps. Many different aircraft to fly. Can customize N#'s, etc. Realistic sounds and air traffic communications. I know you can download more, but would be nice if they were available with the product. DO NOT like lessons being cancelled when you are having a problem with them . Plane does not seem to respond on thelesson flights. Graphics are great. Lots of options for aircraft and airports. Very fun for u combat pilots. I cannot get any aircraft to . I can usually get the localizer but no glideslope. The ATC instructions are confusing, to a layman, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but it's frustrating. I've spent hours reading the instructions but still can't get it. Or a software issue? I need better instructions for using Garmin flight planner/approach computer. Any message boards to help? He is 1. 2 years and is already a virtual pilot. Loves the software. Was this Review Helpful to you? Call microsoft and get the run around also said they don't support it any more, so why is it being sold. Was this Review Helpful to you? Terain is not near to accurate for most places. The sim works well enough in most scenarios but the graphics away from the aircraft are very poor! Worst thing is the red bull missions since the frame rates drop to very slow 1. Overall very dissapointing. Il. 2 1. 96. 4 is better which was a surprise to me! Hopefully the Microsoft Flight sim coming out in the nearish future apparently will be programmed to run correcltly and use the ram etc efficiently enough to make the game high brow graphics with good frame rates all around. Please get it right this time. Don't believe the 1. GHz requirements. Really, should be a min of 2. GHz if you wnt any sort of decent resolution. Looks more like a kids toy that is difficult to use. The Saitek yoke and rudder pedals simply SUCK! I'm still working at assigning jobs for the buttons and switches. The scenery is accurate and and I loved the 2. Airports to fly to. Aircraft selection is great from. Piper J3 Cub to Boeing 7. I've gotten intense enjoyment out of it! I have maxed the realness and reality settings and it is some clean software! Glad it was available! The art work is more like poster art .. This is more like a child's game than an adult flight simulator. Sorry, I don't like it. Only thing more real is being in the plane. I have problems with Free Flight not loading the default flight I saved and checked the . I love that my son can fly with his best friend while at their respected homes..

Once you are set up, it is a great training aid. I have read all of the negative comments already posted here. All of the complaints can be resolved with a little research and practice. There are a lot of view options available to make the experience close to real. I bought an inexpensive (under $2. I moved the pot for the rudder control to a homemade foot pedal for a very inexpensive control system. If you don't like the way the keys are set up for the other controls (radios, for instance), just move them where it would be more intuitive for you. It's amazing to me that I can fly in the (virtual) Grand Canyon and converse with another pilot (who happens to be from Germany)in a plane close by while we are both looking at the same scenery.
