Summary: Very Disappointed with MS FS 2000
Review: No enginge sound with Win95. Graphics are very pixelated, slow, with poor resolution similar to an old Commodore 64. I am using a new AbitBE6II/PII350Mhz/128Mram100mhz/8meg3dvideo card/7200RMP HD/50XCD. I will try to return it to Amazon.

Summary: Private Pilot Certification
Review: one thing I really enjoyed about this program is finally being able to have our efforts as an armchair pilot noticed. With this program, you can take a private pilot checkride, and upon passing, be presented with a printable award. You can then go on to get an insturment rating, commercial license, and air transport license. The planes are equipped with gps and moving map display, which really helps navigating. The weather effects are much better with this program, you can actually see the rain, and the wind shear is very realistic. You will need a fairly quick computer to run the program, in order to get a decent frame rate. I use a 400 mhz machine and get about 27 frm/sec, which looks OK. With the rebate from Microsoft, you really cant go wrong if you enjoy flying.

Summary: It's Great Now!
Review: The best part about buying FS2000 is that it was a great excuse for buying a better computer! With a 500Mhz PIII, 128MB of ram and a 16MB nvidia card, this game is now absolutely incredible! With this level of system, I can use weather, precip and high quality images all at once and still get frame rates from 18-25! If you've got a system like this, you'll love the details, the performance and the options. At night, it even has headlights moving on the highways near the airport! Bottom line- get a system that greatly exceeds the stated minimums to fully enjoy all the features.

Summary: Don't even TRY it without a 3D graphics accelerator!
Review: The graphics performance of this game is very slow and pixelated without a 3D graphics accelerator. I don't recommend playing the game without one.

Summary: The System Requirements are Very Misleading
Review: The packaging states minimum requirements P166 32MB RAM, however the game is unplayable on my system which is a P200 64MB RAM. The graphics remind me of games I played on my old half meg Amiga and the speed is slower than a snail feeling under the weather. Unless you have a fast computer (and I mean fast) DO NOT buy this game. Microsoft is cheating you seriously by stating such low requirements. DO NOT BUY.

Summary: not bad!
Review: this game is a very cool game. despite what some people say, fs2k runs pretty good on my AMD K6/2 333 with 32mb of RAM and 8mb of generic video RAM. however, dont expect to get an extremely powerful game here (and im talking about most people who dont have enough computer crap to go along). i can get some very playable decent framerates. detail is also very vivid, however, switching views and whatnot makes the computer shot to hell within your next 2 minutes. you can press only 1 command at a time to be safe but when you take the aircraft off it is smooth sailing most of the way. tip: you need patience...because of load times. but anyway, you should have a fun time with this most decent game.

Summary: Flight Simulator 2000
Review: This game is great game. It have more realistic sound and graphic of the airplane than Flight Simlator 98. I have Flight Simulator 98 trust me on this. The worst part of this game, Flight Simulator 2000 is that it will take a lot of time to load if you have less than 500 Mhz. If you wanted faster you should have higher than 500 Mhz.

Summary: Fun and real
Review: This game is the top of the line for a realistic flight sim experience. It actually has the whole world mapped out on it and the 20,000 airports are just amazing. It has its hangups however, complicating the scenario too much (e.g. weather)will cause it to run slow and its almost impossible to set the trim to fly straight and level consistently. Overall, its a lot of fun and you'll be discovering new things for days.

Summary: The endless possiblities
Review: This is not a game, It's the next closest thing to real flying. Make sure you have a fast PC and MS Force Feedback joystick is a must. Check out the great website where you can download everything to make your own virtual flying world.
