Overview

The flight simulator it said will be working on multiple platforms. I tried W10 and XP. W10 ... It is working however from the begining you will have a feeling that not all functions works. And it is true. Struggle to find how to start the game and throughout the game some features not accessible. However once installed on XP which I bought on eBay refurbished just for gaming, works well. Only changes are views through the windows. Missing the view from position as your head and yourself would be seating on the pilot seat. You get very narrow picture on screen. So you constantly manipulating with controls to get view on something which in normal flight you would have. So once you took off you would not be concentrated on only dashboard separately or on windows but you should get both. In simulator it seems like you not given that flexibility. Although in W10 this option seems better. XP gives you feeling like you short sited. Controls are a discovery. Probably as in all games. I do not paly much so may be is normal. But many functions you have to find before take off. Confusing that it depend on the plane you select. But I think the whole simulator is a game and for some probably that is the most interesting part. My expectations as I have gliding experience were more concentrated on flight rather than looking for buttons functions to discover. Again something with tutorials not right. Not user friendly at all. No arrows pointing to the right functions if you struggle. And explanations where the exercise start and how to return not really there. So all in all - it is a game. Do not regret buying.Read full review...

Better than the original discs

I have used FS X for some years but had to purchase another set of discs because the originals i had became faulty and would not install the game properly when necessary, using windows 10,previously when it was working there was always some control fault that could spoil the running of the game but this time up to now it has been trouble free.

Some time ago I had downloaded the Steam version as a way of using the game but this had a few control problems which Steam could not address, this is why i bought another set of discs.

Great game

Loaded it onto Windows 10 and it worked perfectly after a small change to the registry to get the acceleration expansion to work and put in the product key.

Loading and playing FSX on a MS10 PC

I have got Microsoft Flight Simulator x Deluxe Edition and yes I had a problem after loading the program in that there was no Play Icon on the desktop! BUT got it working great. I located the Files and looked for this missing Icon in blue with fsx on it.
CLICK on this and it PLAYS!!!
I tried copying this to the desktop BUT it failed tom play when not in the files!!!
The way it DOES play is to place this FSX icon from the files onto the taskbar!!!!
That's all there was to it. Click this icon FROM THE TASKBAR (Looks like a white airline plane in a blue icon and the FSX flight sim just loads up and plays a dream.
To find the FSX files (And the play Icon) Search for it from the start button bottom left of screen .....Left side of the Taskbar ....for those not into computers

Hard to believe it could be bettered

Having bought a more powerful computer, I thought I'd revisit aircraft simulation, having tried it in the early 80's, on an Amiga and then early versions of Flight Sim 2000.
Boy what a difference!<br>
Great simulator, especially with a good joy stick.

Lots of add-on available, both free and fee. Flight is as easy or as realistic as you like.

Well worth the cash.

Excellent

Great Sim, needs good PC to get the best out of it.

This is an excellent flight simulator. Needs a powerful PC and graphics card to run it reasonably! Can be used by beginner and expert alike. A step forward from FS 2004. Many addons on the market to enhance the whole experience (at a price). Great way to learn about flight and planes. Good value for the whole package.Read full review...

Superb product with excellent features

Superb product simulation is excellent and shows how hard it is to fly an aircraft. You need the accessaries to use it properly i.e Yoke, peddals and throttle controls but qwell worth buying them
