Yeh man

2004 was crap. This one looks great the graphics have total improved along with the game play.

It is optimised for windows Vista. So you will need that plus tones of ram and a top of the rage graphics card and processor if you want that quality..........


but *censored*! its As real as it gets

Ya. Vista seems ok to me, but I won't jump on it anytime soon. 2004 sucked. No good planes. All of them were lucky to hit 100 MPH lol

Yeh well Vista looks good to me too.

I'll wait to see what the sort of list price of it is.

Probably wont be able to afford it with my new car and everything.

I will still get Flight Sim X but it will be pretty crappy on my computer no doubt.

Looks real good. As mentioned the graphics have greatly improved from the last time I played a Microsoft Flight Simulator (2000). Looks like the terrain has a lot more depth and a lot more choices as far as what type of vehicles to fly.

The cost of Vista will be nothing compared to the cost of the hardware upgrades required to run it!  :o

Yeh i see what you mean.

You will need tones of RAM and a good Graphics card.

It will probabaly take 5-10 gigs of stroage too.

Big suprise  ::)  I won't buy it for a few years probably. Allow 1-2 years to get out the bugs.

I detest vista, I heard (from unreliable resources) that it had a seperate harddrive that records everything you do and sends it to microsoft if you have a problem so they can "fix it in the future".  Doesn't that sound fishy to anyone else?
