About this product

Product Information

Microsoft Flight Simulator X is the tenth installment of the popular Microsoft Flight Simulator series of video games. It was released on October 10th, 2006 with both a standard version and a deluxe edition. Each version of the flight simulator had a base of 18 aircraft and 28 detailed cities, along with 24,000 real-world airports to use. The deluxe edition ups the number of planes to 24 and the number of detailed cities to 38. It is capable of running on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. It offers a realistic simulation experience and features 24 planes and 38 cities. In addition to free play, this is the first game to offer missions that serve as objectives and tutorials. Players can also save their games where they left off and proceed from whichever airport they last landed at.This deluxe edition offers a wealth of features you won't find anywhere else. The planes and places within the game are highly detailed with an emphasis on a realistic flight. Each plane is carefully modeled, with physics, acceleration, and handling as close as possible to the real machines. Graphical fidelity has been improved. The system takes advantage of the increased power and rendering capability of DirectX 10 and more modern hardware systems. The result is more realistic graphics. In terms of visual acuity, the software is limited only by the system on which it is running.Flight Simulator X, also known as FSX, is designed to work with most modern flight simulation accessories. These include flight sticks, joysticks, flight control assemblies, and even full cockpit approximation setups. All plane controls are fully mappable and can be changed to accommodate right- or left-handed persons. Visual feedback on the screen includes all gauges and indicators to enable the player to understand their plane. This includes navigational aids such as GPS, radio navigation, and simulated air traffic control chatter. Players can also exit the aircraft on the ground and check the plane, performing authentic pre-flight checks.This deluxe FSX edition offers players a sandbox to experiment outside of the missions. There are no restrictions on aircraft choice or objectives. Players can fly anywhere within the city of their choosing. They can then return to the landing strip any time before their fuel runs out. Fuel, the wind, and weather conditions can be adjusted. These have influences on the behavior and handling of the plane. The selection of planes is intended to offer pilots the maximum number of types to choose from. Choices include commercial airliners, small private commuter crafts, and professional stunt planes. All of the planes are officially licensed and produced with the assistance of their manufacturers.This FSX edition is a simulator that offers gamers a chance to fly from home. Straightforward and intuitive, this edition of the game was designed by Microsoft to be approachable while providing advanced simulator options. FSX also has a unique multiplayer mode where a player can serve as air traffic controller.

  • FSX for pilot training

    I am taking flying lessons and wondered if FSX would hlep. It does on a few things and not others. Its a game thats almost a training siumulator. I installed a model for the plane I train in, Piper Tomahawk. FSX does help me with familarization with the gauges and controls; the rudder pedal action is pretty good practice for steering on the taxi takeoff. Turns and landing flares are not much like the real airplane controls ....or maybe I just need to work on adjusting the pitch and aileron sensitivity. I think the problem with judging landing flares is the lack of realistic distance perception. Overall, I guess its worth the investment. I bought a yoke and rudder pedals from CH products and they work ok.

  • Perfect simulator for the flying enthusiast!

    Awesome thing to do while you are having some free time working from home. Arrived perfectly sealed and installation was a breeze. This is my second copy of FSX Deluxe Edition. Also included in the DVD case is a nice little manual for those of you who are just about starting. I am an experienced FSX user and I was flying in no time!

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition

    Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition Bundle with expansion packs is a really great Flight Simulator. Much has been added since the 2004 edition. I enjoy flying out of my home airport in Gallatin, TN., as shown in attached photos.

  • Needs work

    Any game will never completely satisfy our expectations, however, most can keep us interested enough to keep playing. FSX is one of those games, and while it needs work,especially in texturing, I would recommend it to a friend.

  • Some trouble

    After installing I had to phone Microsoft to complete the activation as it wouldn't do so using the Key. Otherwise, the product works well and is good for me as it helps complete my desire to keep flying at my age.
