Flight Simulator X


Sweet planes, bumpy ride

Flight Simulator X looks to have touched down six-to-twelve months too early for much of its target audience but, as its score reflects, it's an extraordinarily well-crafted piece of software and one of the most significant releases in flight simming history. Until we're all running dual-core CPUs with half-gig DX10 video cards, however, it's also quite the little prop-tease.   

You'll love
  • Mission-based gameplay
  • Exquisite graphics
  • Ramped up online options
You'll hate
  • Slideshow-stuttery on mid-range PC
  • Occasional graphic "blurries"
  • Slow load times
