    Scenery is nice but features and realism for flight training not anywhere as good as xplane. If you are just flying around looking at scenery then it is fine. I bought this in addition to xplane but won't be using it until improvements are made.

    Junk, do NOT Purchase. The prior software was excellent, now the new version is junk. I downloaded the program over night. I have a 1 gig/sec internet connection. The next morning I tried to start the program, I got a message needs to update, so I let the computer download the update and now the program does not start. The idiots who designed the software ruined an excellent program. My computer has an I7 processor, 32 gig or RAM and a graphics card.

    This installation required over two hours and lots of patience, The tech was with us throughout which was very reassuring. Had we tried to install the software on our own, we most likely would have though something was wrong, Excellent Service!!!

    It should have come with rotorcraft or helicopters. It should have an icon on desktop. You shouldnt have to dig through other programs to access your games. It should not be online only

    Horrible download experience, game will not play

    Took 4 days to download over a 300 Mbps internet connection, finally had to go download it on another computer at work (we have a 10 Gbps pipe there). Once the files were transferred to my PC (this was Microsoft's suggestion) the game did launch but now no matter what flight I select the game sticks when loading the blue bar fills up but the game never starts. This is the worst purchase I have ever made and I wish there was a "Hell No!" button below to recommend it. I have the specs to run the game (it chose high-end settings for me) but it doesn't matter. You're in for days of hell with terrible music playing if/when it ever does actually download and then there is a less than 50% chance it might actually run when you're done. I've got a case in with Micro-shaft and believe me, they could not care less they have their money and to them it's done. Will never buy again.

    No refunds - check compatibility of PC

    Make sure your PC meets minimum requirements for operating system, RAM, processor and graphics card. An i7 Intel processor, combined with 16GB of RAM and Intel Graphics card (2 years old) was found to be incompatible with the game. Other new games work fine, this simulator is a real hog. Compatibility, according to Microsoft starts at the RX570-level for AMD Ryzen 3 and up. For Intel processors, compatible GPU’s begin at GForce GTX 770 or better. Make sure you’re running Windows 10 64-bit OS.

    Love it. It’s not bad to navigate. Controls of the aircraft can be very busy if having to move around the aircraft. It sometimes has over lapping menus.

    Buyer Beware of Computer Requirements

    Buyer Beware: Make sure your computer has a graphics card that can run this program. I have an HP All-In-One that meets all the Microsoft recommendations for the processor, RAM memory, and the Windows OS. However, it is equipped with an Intel Graphics 530 internal graphics card and it in insufficient to run the program. A Radeon RX 590 or Nvidia GTX 970 video card is required. Best Buy does not give a refund for a digital download produce, so I’m out $119.99.

    I am not sure why there are negative reviews for this because my experience is nothing but great. No issues with installation, no issues with the game software. Just perfect!

    Nothing like the previous MS Flight simulator. Took out a lot of airports, planes, and other locations. Turned the game into a pay to play game having to buy airports and other items that used to be part of the game and not some add-on Would I recommend this game? NO!

    Love it! Very realistic and extremely detailed. Takes a lot of memory and computing power to run. It will take a few hours to get it downloaded, updated, and up and running.
