    Flt Sim 2004

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 13, 2003 | 25 out of 27 found this Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight review helpful

    Pros: Real World Weather

    Cons: Resource-hungry program

    First of all, I also have Flt Sim 2002 (and love it). My computer is currently running a Pentium 3 system at 1 gig. with 512 megs of RAM on a platform of Windows XP Pro. My 2002 Sim runs just great on it and since I didn't see any greater syste...m requirements indicated on the packaging or ads for the "2004", I expected similar performance to "2002". To make a long story short, I was in for a shock... jerky and somewhat unreliable performance at even the lowest graphics quality settings! The "real world" weather is a great experience, but I didn't particularly like how other flying aircraft were now nothing but some text floating around in the sky to define the aircraft.Tech support at Microsoft was very courteous and tried to be helpful, but after several written exchanges between them and myself, it was apparent that my current computer wasn't up to the task of running this program even half way right. For now, until I get my new super computer, I give up... I'll just stick with my Flt Sim 2002.It looks to me like if your hardware isn't the latest and the greatest, you might be in for a disappointment. Let's see what happens when I get my new hardware.

    awesome but nuthin still touches reality!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 25, 2006

    Pros: ATC, Real World-Weather, enhanced clouds etc.,

    Cons: Hungry on resources

    Well i ve brought this coupla days back.Running a 1.8Ghz P4,1 Gig DDR with NVidia 256Mb RAM Grpahics card...mmm..dunno what the model is.aint really well-versed in this pc stuff. Neway first things first the graphics were amazing compared to FS2002 n...o more flat clouds and the airport environment was enhanced too. The ai traffic with the box was as usual with unknown flights which never existed like american pacific and liveries i never even heard of. 2 Days later i downloaded projectAI and UT2004. I was running both the AI programs minus FS9 Traffic. Framerate at Heathrow?4FPS ..well the airports were filled close to reality but the approaches at 4FPS??Comon...well i think Microsoft really spruced it up...but there was still no luck.I dun have anyother software running on my pc except for the basic stuff...still kudos to Microsoft for the good job but i guess we need a 10GB RAM and A 512MB Graphics card to run this smoothly. Finally i think it is a good buy but still nothing comes to reality! Read more Less
