comments
- Excellent simulation platform.
- Advanced controls.
- Multi-player capabilities (LAN/Server based with the Steam Edition)
- Tutorials from a real world pilot.
- Real-world weather simulation.
- Extremely limited content; you'll need to buy add-ons for this which can make the game worth over £1000 by the time you're done.
Flight Simulator X offers a wide range of scenarios, destinations and aircraft to fly – with very accurate flying principles. An example of this is the use of ILS, VOR/DME and GPS navigation systems in IFR flights. The graphics for something released in 2006 are not half bad – but the software does not utilize RAM very well at all so even with a good system, can still be very demanding to run; but the audio and atmospherics of the game make up for this with brilliant weather captured from real world weather stations – and endless opportunities with the multi-player option. However, the content of the game is quite limited and you will be bored of it after a month or so, so that is where the community comes in. FSX has one of the best communities out there, that offer breathtaking new add-ons that push the realism and graphical capabilities to the max. Products such as the PMDG 737 NGX are the icing on the cake for this game, and it would be nothing without these enhancements.
Conclusion: Overall, if you’re going to buy this game, it’s like buying an empty house. Yeah sure it has power, a roof over your head and running water – but you have to fill out the home with the wonderful furniture that is FSX add-ons and expansion packs.
