Pros:
|
The Best and maybe the last of the SIMS from Microsoft
|
|
Cons:
|
Microsoft's need to change and make the engine incompatible with it's predecessors. Needs serious hardware to get the most from it
|
|
Quite an expensive SIM compared to others, and now possibly the last from Microsoft. And why Microsoft has to go and change the core, making it generally incompatible with previous products. I mean this from a programmers perspective. On it's initial launch and for quite a while thereafter, it had very slow support for the community to program, design and create both pay-ware and freeware add-ons, because of these changes. This has now changed and it is a SIM of note today. Unfortunately it suffers the same scenery problems as it's predecessor Flight Simulator 2004. As an example my country is unrecognizable in the most critical and important of natural landmarks. Thankfully some resourceful locals have corrected this and offer these add-ons for free. This is also true of others around the world offering GREAT add-ons. Also very important to note, the flight model is inaccurate and the flaws can be found very quickly. This is especially noticeable when doing classic and world recognized stunts in a decent stunt aircraft model. I have found I cannot execute a number of these maneuvers correctly, and this is annoying. Even with the addition of the commercial Acceleration add-on, this is not fixed. But having said all of that above, this still remains a great SIM to own, from beginner to serious SIMMER, and as usual an incredible selection of free-ware, pay-ware and customization available, as well as utilities. Barring the above mentioned flaws, many will come to enjoy having this SIM in their collection

Pros:
|
FSX is full of planes and tones of great addons.
|
|
Cons:
|
There os no fmc in the default planes, the atc could be better, and more realistic.
|
|
It is a great game there are tones of addons that make the flying experience realistic. The game takes a lot of computer usage to run it on reasonable speeds. I would recommend that you have a powerful pc to get the max out of the game.

Pros:
|
The amont of add ons possible
|
|
Cons:
|
lack of std sceneries. We need to download a lot
|
|
I see FSX as a "beta" version. If you go to my thread "curious fsx" you will find a lot of fun with the bugs I researched on Internet. Otherwise, I use Fs since FS98. And FSX, in spite of the mistakes done, is a good FS. I recomend both to experts than to novices in special, because the Learning Center helps a lot.
