Review: Although always being one step ahead of its predecessors, Microsoft Flight Sim98 proves a step ahead yet again -- but it's still just as boring as all of the previous ones. Sure, it has neat, more detailed planes, and a HUGE list of airports to fly out and into; but there's still nothing, scenery-wise, to decipher Montana from, say, Arizona. And if you don't have a super nice PC it won't look or run that good. If you choose to actually try to fly a real, live flight from one airport to the next, good luck. Maybe it'd work better if you were an actual bona fide pilot. Fun for a few hours but after that it's just plain (Sorry. I know it's cheesy) boeing. Save your money.

Review: as a private pilot, this is the best, or better than fs 2000 in many ways.
the ifr approches are as real as it gets.
having done real ifr approches in a cessna 172, i recomend it highly.

Summary: Horrible.
Review: Don't waste your money. The game is made so it is horribly complicated and only the most dedicated player (after a long wait)can figure out how to guide the plane. My Father got me this for Easter, now it's Dec. 24 (Merry christmas!) and I still havn't figured it out. Of course, after the first two or three weeks I stopped trying (to set the record straight). As of the guide-book (which we so carefully read, well, actually my Dad, because I never wanted the game in the first place)the instructions were far to complicated. MY instructions are not to buy this game.

Review: Excellent program. Good coverage of the world's best known places. Flying over the Statue of Liberty, between the Twin Tower of New York, under the Golden Gate Bridge in California, crashing into the Sears Tower in Illinois, landing near the Pyramids of Giza, flying past Big Ben in London or bumping into the White House in Washington D.C. (Sorry, Mr. Prez. The kid was driving with that last one.) With many more sites around the world, you can fly in what ever manner you want from one place to another with no cares of other aircraft hitting you. (Just don't hit the White House. Wonder what the Queen would say if I rolled my plane onto the lawn of the palace?)

Review: Flight Simulator 98 provides lots of scenery and many airports for taking off. It also gives you cool air vehicles that you can ride. It is fun to fly a plane, but in this game I can't seem to either find a runway or even land my plane without crashing. If you wanted to actually land in another airport, you would have to sit in front of the computer for hours or lots of minutes piloting the plane, which after a little while gets a bit boring. If you are a big flyer and you have the patience to sit in the cockpit and control a plane for a really long time, you should get this game.

Review: Frustrated with trying to run Microsoft's power hungry monster Flightsim 2000 on my PII, 450mhz system , I thought I'd give '98 a try. Frame rate was explosive but it's anemic virtual world left me flat. Flightsim '98 is only a couple years old but in todays high end visual universe, it looks and feels nothing short of drab and dated. So long old friend, the time has come to move on to the budget software bin, your time in the sun has sadly passed.

Summary: Flight Simulator 98. Just ok
Review: I got this game years and years ago. I do think that the handling is real but it needs about 4 more aircraft.Another complaint is the graphics, it totally stinks and is like a 96 sim. Also the cockpit is unreal too. I also don't like the radio thing, it's too complicated.

Review: I guess this is an ok game if you just like to fly around over boxy, grainy settings. The graphics are not good but this is an old game so what can you expect??? I bought it because it was so cheap. There is no limit to where you can go in the world on this game though, fly anywhere!! I recomend a newer version, it is worth the money to buy Flight Simulator 2000 instead of this 98 version.

Summary: The BEST Flight
Review: I just finished a flight that was so exciting, it took me 10 minutes to decide if I should quit playing . I love my MFS and I hate to stop playing. My wife hates for me to sit at the computer for hours on end and fly. This game is so realistic that I study my flights to help with my pilot training.
