Well-refined leader of the genre
Flight simulation for your PC just doesn't get any better than this. Microsoft has been at this for a long time, and they make it better with every release.A few things seasoned flight simmers will know that new users will certainly WANT to know are:The system requirements to really make this software work well are dauntingly advanced. You'll need something approaching a top-level gaming machine, with a huge video card, to get the full benefit of the entire visual, audible, advanced controls experience. Got a laptop you think is pretty smokin'? Forget it.Microsoft follows every release of this product with massive service packs you must download and install, and each one takes a huge chunk out of your hard drive. Be prepared with LOTS of disk space. This particular release (meaning, the "Gold Edition") includes service packs one and two, so you won't need to download them.An internet connection is required to register the...

First time for Flight Simulator [Played Three Days Straight]
Fun once you've downloaded the three disks. There are over 5,000 Airports, 30 planes plus three if you buy The Gold Version, and Loads of Missions to fly. My Favorite Feature is Free Play. You can take off from your Hometown Airport or any other and vist landmarks like The Egyption Pyramids, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Niagra Falls. You can download any plane you want online like UFO's, Futureristic Fliying Cars, and my favorite, a Thunder Bird version F-16. I love this game. Make sure you buy a controler like A Saitek X52 joystick and throttle. This game is unplay able witout one.

Dumbed down to dumb
As a Pilot, I bought this version because it included the G-1000 glass cockpit. The G-1000 simulator from Garmin is $119, FSX was only $34.95.So, overall, I got what I wanted. I was very disappointed that MS decided to dumb down the flight physics even more than in FS9. Lot's of silly things too: For example, the left turning tendency is pronounced in a single engine propellor aircraft. This is caused by Torque, P-Factor, Gyroscopic precession and slipstream. Why do the 2 and 4 engine Commercial Jets in FSX also require heavy right rudder on take-off? They are immune to these forces. (They don't have props!) Stalls are so subtle and gentle as to be pointless, FSX wings never drop and full recovery is possible without relieving back pressure on the stick. FSX Planes will not spin, even when forced into cross-controlled flight. It's impossible to get the spin started and spin recovery; one of the most important basic flight skills to master, is impossible to properly...

Most fun I've had on my PC in as long as I can remember
I got my copy of this edition a week ago. The last copy of FS I owned was the 2000 version so I was about ready for an upgrade! I dropped the first DVD in and installed it; it took a good half an hour to get through all three DVD's. Then I fired it up. I was immediately prompted for what kind of user was I - novice, experienced FS user or an actual Pilot. I picked novice as I'd not played a game like this one in at least four years and needed all the help I could get. It then talked me though some basics and let me control a plane already in the air at one point and that was cool - very easy intro; I was looking at the plane from behind so no confusing instruments or what-have-you. Felt like an accomplishment!After this it suggested I go through the tutorials, and told me where to find them, and even though I was itching to just take off from a small airport very close to my home in a Cessna or something and just get flying, maybe try to find my house - I resisted the urge...

One of the best flight sims on the market
Flight Simulator X is the newest edition and graphically the best of the flight simulators on the market. Many of the graphics has been improved since flight simulator 2004 like the ground textures. It really looks like the real world. You can even pinpoint many recognizable highways and roads from your own city. You can even see moving cars, moving gates at airports, and even moving baggage carts. The airports look much more realistic as they have real markings and even the airport tiles at the gates. Also mountain ranges look much better. Many of the mountains are sculpted to their acutal sizes and makes it very realistic. The graphics have more depth than in 2004 version and when the new Windows Vista 10 comes out, the graphics will look even more realistic than it is currently. There are also more planes in this game. Included are the usual Boeing and Cessnas, but there are also new jets like the airbus a321, and even a new glider, which is towed by another airplane.

From a pilot
I am a general aviation pilot, flying single engine fixed wing Cessna type aircraft (4 seater). Flight Simulator X gives the feeling of actually piloting a plane. The plane responds to the controls much like "the real thing".Like other reviewers, I must agree that you must have a great computer. I have a dual processor Pentium D 940 running 3.2 Ghz, 4 gb RAM, 512 mb NVIDIA graphic card. On my system, with maxed out graphics and scenery, it runs very well, with only an occasional slight bump in frame-rates. I am somewhat disappointed with the scenery, which is good in major cities, but still basic in the country-side. The terrain is good everywhere, but the structures lack detail in other than the cities. The detail on airport runways and taxiways is terrific! Aircraft list is extensive. I recommend it.

I'm an AiraHaulic
I have been flight simming for almost 9 years. I have learned to fly all of the great aircraft from Cessna 152's t Boeing 767-300ER's but after doing all that the question remains; Where do I fly? With this great program added to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 or Flight Simulator X you won't have to answer that question as Air Hauler will show you where the money is. Pick a contract and deliver on time and the money will begin to roll in as you build your company from fledgeling to empire. But if you damage the cargo or deliver late your reputation will fall and so will the profits. Easy to use with many features being added on a regular basis I now start Flight Sim up and go right to the airport to begin transporting all kinds of stuff. Best of all is the support forum where answers to all your questions will be handled swiftly; Many times by the man who created the program. You will never again be at a loss for where to fly. I guarantee it!!!

A needed boost for FSX
While there are plenty of "virtual airlines" out there that allow a flightsimmer to give some structure to his hobby, they require online play and (some) have strict time commitments. Air Hauler brings the structure to your PC...and some purpose to your flying! In between flights, you are responsible for running and growing your operation...you hire pilots, buy planes, build bases, and manage the budget while trying to build your company's reputation. As your company grows, your income grows, your fleet grows, etc. You can choose to fly any of the jobs that are offered on your FSX, and you can also hire AI pilots to do jobs while you are busy or away from the computer. I have not experienced any major bugs, and the Air Hauler forum is loaded with info to help with minor glitches.All in all, I find Air Hauler to be a worthy addition to my flightsim library!

The next step in flight sims...
I have been playing this game for nearly a month now and I highly recommend it. Air Hauler has renewed my interest in FSX by giving me a reason to fly. Because of this game, I have flown aircraft that I normally would not have and to airfields that I never would have gone. This has really expanded the whole FSX experience.This game allows you to choose a base of operations to fly from, then choose from jobs flying around that area. As you progress, you can buy or lease new and better aircraft, and hire on AI (CPU controlled) pilots to fly jobs for you. You can set the AI pilots on assignments while you are away from the computer; (while you are at work or school, or just sleeping!) You can build an empire and not even fly a job yourself. The game also features several costs that you need to deal with; such as fuel prices, base rental, landing fees, and AI payroll. Air Hauler also grades your landings; so if you or your pilots have a hard landing (or worse) you can be faced...

"BEWARE" before you buy the "STANDARD" Version of FSX
Let me start this review by saying that FSX is really a great product with much growth potential for future development. I have been using Flight Sim from the early days of the Commodore 64. I have purchased every version since it was created. Every version starts a bit rough but between updated patches and some tweaking it performs beautifully.Each version is usually a year or so ahead of existing hardware, which basically means that you will not be able to achieve the maximum performance with your one-year-old computer even if you think you got a great system. If you search the flight sim forums you will read how even those with gaming machines complain about not enough frame rates or hi resolution scenery or stutters during flying.

From a "Not-Hardcore-Gamer" View
Let me get something of my chest first. I have noticed a lot of bad feedback on reviewers who give higher ratings to products that are developed by Microsoft. So just to make it clear - I am not reviewing Microsoft, I'm reviewing the simulator.So.. how fun is this game? Well it's your system that can actually answer this question. This game is amazing from my point of view. I have used everything, from FS98 to latest X-Plane.. and nothing is as good as this.The Good:- Stunning graphics. This is the most beautiful game I have ever played. From the water effects to shadows from the plane.. every effect and particle is breathtaking.- Gameplay. It is an amazing gameplay, indeed. You can now fly in any seat you like, control literally any view of the airplane, most of the cockpit controls work and function the way they are supposed to.

An Excellent Addition to the Series
Microsoft Flight Simulator X is the tenth editon to the Flight Simulator franchise, and it certainly delivers. Like previous installments, FSX puts you in the cockpit as a pilot for any number of aircraft, including Boeing 747s and the LearJet 45. New this year, however, is an Airbus A321 and an AirCreation Trike Ultralight (think of a waterski with wings and wheels attached). Flight Simulator 2004 had many commemorative aircraft for the one hundredth anniversary of flight, but these are gone for FSX. I wasn't really bothered by the removal, although some will be disappointed that you can't recreate the Wright Brothers' Kittyhawk flight anymore. Graphics-wise, Flight Simulator X is a great improvement over Flight Simulator 2004. You may now see animals on the ground and traffic on major highways, depending on the age and quality of your graphics card. Make sure you have a DVD-ROM drive, because FSX is a gigantic game and takes up two DVDs. In comparison, FS2004 took up...

Product Description

The 767 may live in the shadow of the larger 747, but the sturdy and efficient 767 files on many of the same routes worldwide. This wide body aircraft sits between the narrow body 757 and the Jumbo 747, and is used for both short and long haul duties. The experts at CLS (Commercial Level Simulations) have worked their magic to develop superb models of the 767 in the -200 and -300 passenger variants, featured here in a set of 24 liveries from around the world. The 767-200/300 series is part of the very popular and user-friendly F-Lite series. These top quality aircraft are extremely high in detail but less demanding to fly than today's most complex procedural simulators. F-Lite aircraft are a significant step up from the default Flight Simulator versions in terms of modelling and cockpit systems, but won't require weeks of study before you can get airborne!

Not realistic enough
If what you're looking for is eye candy, this might be the product for you. However, I wouldn't recommend it to the hard core fans of realism, the EHSI, FMC and other systems are quite basic and don't live up to simulate the real thing. Also, I prefer by far the Pegasus style EADI which is missing here. Given these limitations the best I can give is a 3. I prefer Flight1's version by far!

Great Feel. "Phantom Key presses" were easy to fix for me ....
To start with, I wish I had purchased this setup much earlier. It feels so good and delivers such rock solid performance that I cannot imagine flying the civilian aircraft in FSX without it. If you want the C-172 to become as compelling as the P51 in your control, then this is the setup you'll want.But I vacillated on this purchase for some time before buying it due to all the reviews reporting phantom key presses. I didn't want to order something I'd likely have to return or exchange. Although I love flying with my CH Fighterstick , Pro Throttle and Rudders when flying warplanes or helicopters, I always felt like I was missing out on the joy of civilian flight simulation when using a stick instead of a yoke. So I finally mustered up the courage to order the Saitek Yoke in spite of the many poor reviews while holding my breath on the "pkp" issue.By the time I got mine, I had thoroughly familiarized myself with the scope of the phantom key press problem and...

Phantom Key Stroke Problem Solved?
Well I just did some research on this yoke and discovered that Sietek has resolved the phantom keystroke issue. New replacement units are shipping to all US distributers. If you happen to have a defective unit, per a post on Sietek's forum, owners are to call 310-972-9930 for return/replacement instructions.

Sietec refused to post a current serial number of the defective lot but a person on the forums said that he just got his and is working flawlessly with a serial number of SZ005111624. This person with a "good" unit purchased his thru Newegg in CA.Well I am going to place my order now and I will post an update when I get it up and running.UPDATE: I recieved the yoke and pedals three days ago and after spending an hour or so configuring the unit I fired it up.
