Game Review - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight is one of the most realistic flight simulator games you can purchase. Test your skills flying the Wright Flyer or a Boeing 747 and everything in between. It features realistic weather, 3d terrain, interactive air traffic control and the latest graphics.

You may have to take flying lessons to master the default planes, but if you’re bored with those you can get add-on planes from various websites, like www.simviation.com, www.avsim.com, and www.flightsim.com, and www.justflight.com.

The basic way to install these is to unzip them, and put the last folder before you get to panel sound .air file ECT. in the C:/programs/Microsoft games/flight simulator 9/aircraft folder.

For scenery download the file, unzip, and then go into flight sim, go to scenery library, hit add scenery and select the folder. Then restart flight simulator and you’re ready to go.

Know of any more good add-on sites for Flight Simulator? Let us know by posting a comment.
