5 Stars Excellent Game of Flight Enthuiasts
I’ve been a fan since FS 98 and the game just keeps getting better and better. No disappointments in this one.

1 Star stay with xplane if you have it dont waist your money you would have to spend more
to experienced pilots who want to upgrade to a new flight simulator. Dont use this. There is not much planes unlike other fs games i have used. To people who have xplane stick with it. And also This game requires lots of upgrading to your pc. I have a custom so im fine. But stick with xplane.

5 Stars MS Flight Simulator X Deluxe DVD
Great service; super product. I wish I had a more detailed handbook which would help me with “slips” etc..

I have not purchased this game yet. I want to know if it will work on my system. I have a dual core, quad 6.6 processor, 4GB RAM, and a 8800 GT video card. I will not make the purchase until somebody can tell me if this machine I built will allow it to run without hickups.

5 Stars Superb graphics!!
My system: It ain’t the latest-greatest “Duo” or “Quad” super fast hell on wheels box. In fact it’s a Dell Optiplex GX270, 3.0Ghz Hyperthreaded P4. RAM is 2GB, video is ATI Radeon 9550 (Dual capable) w 256Mb DDR. Sound is Creative Audigy4, MS Sidewinder Precision Pro flight stick (USB driven)

I just received my copy of FSX-Deluxe + Accelerator Pack. They installed flawlessly in under 30 minutes, total. Just got through “test flying” it. Stunning! I just selected “free flight”, Cessna 172, and I selected my local small air field, which should be located just to the east of Nashville, TN. Cornelia Fort air park. Got flying, quickly located Berry International just where it should be. Went looking for Nashville’s skyline - hmmm, kind of generic looking. Oh well. I’m not picky about that type of detail anyway. That said, the graphics and dynamic graphic details were none the less stunning. Everything from the city traffic to other aircraft in flight was displayed quite well. I encountered no reduction in frame rates nor did I encounter any “stuttering” of the display. All played smoothly. I checked the simulator settings and they are all at 3/4 full. I intend on playing with those settings to see what my box can do. I haven’t “played” FS since FS98. I have CFS3 which plays well on my system except when there is a lot of other things going on, then it may stumble a bit, but not enough to make it unplayable. It doesn’t have near the graphic detail of FSX, and yet FSX beats it hands down in function. I am impressed. I definitely recommend FSX. Just be sure to either download the Service Pack when you’ve completed the install OR get the Acceleration Pack. You do not need to download the service pack if you have the Acceleration Pack. Activation went without a hitch - no problem at all!

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good yoke and throttle quadrant
Good product, worth the money. Had a small ‘dead zone’ in the middle of the yoke when it first arrived in the mail, but that seems to have pretty much disappeared now. The advanced programming of the buttons does not appear to be too simple, but basic setup in FSX is pretty straight forward. Would definitely buy again.

5 Stars Helps secure the illusion
If you really want your flight sim to be realistic, here is a great place to start.

4 Stars phantom button pressing resolved!!!
this yoke is great, its a touch insensitive but will serve the avid flight sim operator greatly… i just got mine and logged over fifteen hours of flight time and no phantom buttons here!!! they must’ve worked hard to resolve it after so many bad reviews. good product for the money buy it!!!

5 Stars YES..!
This is a great product. I also purchased the extra throttle and the peddles. I love it all..!!! I didn’t have any issues with it at all. I installed them with my MS XP then reinstalled with Vista 64 and with both OS’s not a problem.. I have tried to program them yet but I am still happy.

4 Stars The best on the market!!!
Very realistic, lots of features. Almost no installation required. It could be perfected if the aircraft would move back to the center after you make a turn. Must be able to adjust the yoke’s mixture & rpm for the flaps, spoilers, landing gears. Overall a good product.
