Anyone play any of the Microsoft Flight Simulators? I just picked up FS2004 and finally found my old joystick(MS Sidewinder).

I love flying, but can't afford real lessons or anything, so this is a great alternative for me.

I used to have it on my computer back in the early/mid 90's. I used to get the expansion packs Hawaii, Japan ect. I love plugging in waypoints and then flying to them until you reached your destination. It's as real as it gets. I used to always fly from LAX to Hawaii. Great flying sim game. Peace!!!

Always wanted to get into the MS's Flight Sim series but never really had the CPU to handle the newest version at the time. I can run X fine now, maybe I'll scoop it up.

Now you get every airport in the entire world free out of the box. Plus there are thousands of plane and scenery add ons.

I almost got X. 2004 is basically the same thing. A few technical improvements and a red bull air race mode and mission mode.

I need to learn how to properly fly, I usually just wing it(bwahaha)

I remember playing one of the Combat Flight Simulator games as a kid. It was alot of fun.

I love FSX. So much fun, and I like to try to get a 1-2 hour flight in daily. Luckily we just got a new computer with a huge HDD (1TB) And 4 GB of RAM, so it runs pretty smooth.

I found Flight Simulator X Gold Edition when I was at the mall yesterday and I couldn't resist. Don't have a joystick or even a gamepad and I realize playing with the mouse isn't truly playing so I may have to invest in one. Already took a flight around London, great seeing all the famous spots.
