Flight Simulator X is the culmination of nearly 25 years of the landmark Flight Simulator franchise and its most significant addition to date.

The 10th addition to the highly successful Flight Simulator franchise, Flight Simulator X will immerse players in a beautifully rich and realistic world, offering a completely new and innovative gaming experience with dozens of new aircraft to choose from, including the AirCreation 582SL Ultralight and Maule M7-260C Orion with wheels and skis. Gamers of all ages, types and skill levels will experience firsthand what it is like to be an aviator traveling the globe either alone or online with others.

Features:

Immersive world - Flight Simulator X offers players a rich and innovative gaming experience with new technological advancements, incredible graphics and added realism including weather, time of day and seasons. Pilots can watch moving cars and detailed buildings in cities below; traffic on highways; indigenous houses, farmland and livestock; and wildlife in its natural habitats.
Mission-based gameplay - With the addition of new mission-based gameplay, players will have a specific purpose as their world comes alive for the first time with automobile traffic, moving boats and ships, and animal life. With more than 50 new missions to choose from, aviators can build their skill levels and engage in even more stimulating gameplay than before. Players can choose to compete in the Red Bull Air Race or bring relief materiel to the Congo, keeping track of their progress on each mission.
New aircraft - Flight Simulator X will enable pilots to fly the aircraft of their dreams, from the DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver floatplane and Grumman G-21A Goose to the AirCreation 582SL Ultralight and Maule M7-260C Orion with wheels and skis. Players will be amazed at the details - such as shaded rivets, reflective paint, and glint from glass and chrome - as they view the world from 100 feet to 1 million feet.
Connected world - Through increased online gameplay capabilities, Flight Simulator X offers players a connected world where they can choose whom they want to be, from air-traffic controller to pilot or co-pilot, as they interact with other aviators from around the globe by chatting in real time via headset and keyboard.
Interactive airports - More than 24,000 airports feature AI-controlled jetways, fuel trucks and moving baggage carts, allowing players to explore their hometown or venture to a favorite far-off city.

wow what a flight simulator one of the best i have ever played. so is it worth the money well only if you got a pc with really god hardware specs. But id you havent got a good computer it will just seam like a really old boring flight sim so it not worth the money but the grafics are amazing if you got a vista pc with all the hardware spec. and onlne you can now be a tower controller using a headset or join other people's planes so an all round good flight sim 8/10

excellent game, deffinatly worth the money, and is cheapest at game then enywhere else.

the detail and choice of what to do is mind blowing, the graphics are superb but i recomend you download the service package 1 for performace increases. with over 50+ missions you never get board, superb for everyone, even if ur 12 or 54 this game suits everyone, beware tho cuz the minimum requirements are the minimum for the game so u dont get good graphics. i reccomend that you have a duo core processer to get the most out of this game. i reccomened this to everyone

Played on the demo and thats realy good. Thinking of buying the game. By the way game is the cheapest to buy flight simulator X Deluxe. all the other shops are £39.99
But yes its a great game, would recomend it is anyone.

Great game! Downloaded trial, planning on buying soon. Demo works well on new Dell Inspiron 6400 systems at highest graphics, but medium scenary. Still get 50-60 fps. Recommend at least a, Dual core Intel, 224 mb graphics card, 2 GB ram, Vista. (I am running a 1.9 GHz Intel Pentium Dual, 224 MB Intel Chipset, 2GB 667 MHz RAM. Will work best on Nvidia graphics cards me thinks).

Really Good Game for the money however like some reviews i have seen have said that it just runs slow.

So heres they truth it might go slow on there computers but if you want to get the game there are websites where you can find out wether it will run on your computer think it isnt just your processor that runs the game even if you have a really fast processor but a overall old video card or one with not enough ram then you might find the game struggling but i have had this game for a while now and i havnt had one problem with it. ive even installed it onto my external harddrive to stop it lagging up my computer and you can download the microsoft flught simulator x service pack 2 which helps with performance tweaks

Game on the other hand has had the lowest price game i have looked everywhere and not found it any cheaper so great value from game

And an excellent game

Submitted by Nathaniel Knight

This is an amazing game to play, i have to run on low settings otherwise its slow but graphics are excellent!
*WARNING!* Dont be fooled by system requirements as this is only just playable if you want screenshot quality then you need a very good pc. I run mostly on low settings and these are my specs:
3.33ghz Intel Celeron D
512mb RAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 128mb graphics card
