flight simulator X review

Flight simulator X is probably the most realistic flight simulator with mountain of aircraft from small one enjoined planes to a 747. FSX is packed with a wide variety missions that will keep you coming back.
FSX is also customisable by downloading planes and scenery all you have to do is put the folder in the aircraft folder and your away. FSX also includes free flight which I particularly like, you can just fly around which is not done so often in simulators now, as well as that there is multiplayer which should be just standard, I haven’t had a chance to see multiplayer in action but I can tell you that you are going to get your money’s worth in single player content.
Unfortunately there are some issues one being the frame rate, its fine in the cockpit but try to look at the outside of the plane if there is a lot going on is almost impossible. Also if you don’t own a compatible joystick it will be hard to get into the game as every instrument and leaver can be operated and having to remember so many keyboard commands can get confusing for the less experienced pilot. However there is a wide range of tutorials to get you up to speed.
My final verdict for Flight simulator X is a 9/10 if you have a joystick you will love it but I can’t recommend it to someone who doesn’t have a joystick.
