"Flight of my LIFE!"
This game has to be THE most realistic game I have ever played to date. If you are a fan of all the other Microsoft Flight Simulators, this is a must have to your collection!
I don't have the most amazing computer, I was pleasantly surprised that my PC can handle a game of this quality.
"Compulsory for any aviation buff with a PC"
Love it. It's not a combat simulator so don't expect it to be. However, it is an amazing virtual world in which you can fly. I love the way it is real geographical terrain. I took off from Wellington in the F18 at dawn and flew North. I could see the Hut Valley as I climbed, Mt Taranaki in the distance, and landed at Taupo airport after getting a good look at Ruapehu.
The actual textures aren't accurate, they are just generated, but there is also a wealth of third party upgrades you can add to make this simulator exactly what you want it to be.
Great price too.
"Must have for flight sim fans"
Flight Simulator X is definitely the best of the flight sim series so far. New to this version is the ability to take on missions and receive rewards for completing them.
Tons of add-on content (freeware and payware) out on the net as well; aircraft, scenery, mission, etc.
Be warned though, performance will not be perfect, our computer has 1gb of graphics and the framerates still get choppy around big airports and citys (although I do have the graphics set quite high).
But overall, a great game and a great experience!

Description
Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition is the culmination of nearly 25 years of the hugely popular Microsoft series and maybe the most significant addition to the range of definitive flight-sim experiences. The tenth in the series - hence the 'X', Roman numeral fans - this addition supposedly offers a completely new and innovative gaming experience. Flying's flying to us, but there you go. Who are we to argue with the mighty Microsoft? There are dozens of new aircraft to choose from, including the AirCreation 582SL Ultralight and Maule M7-260C Orion with wheels and skis.
Flight Simulator X: Acceleration Exp Pack is the action-filled expansion pack for Microsoft’s amazingly successful and award-winning Flight Simulator X video game. With the Acceleration Expansion Pack, gamers of all ages, types and skill levels can race against friends in amazing, highly detailed locations around the world, test their skills and heroism in many new missions, fly three exciting new aircraft, and share rewards, photos and videos with friends and the broader flight community.
Features:
- New Missions. 20 new missions, in Law Enforcement and Rescue, Astronautics, Racing, and Backcountry, will give pilots more chances to soar. Head to the Rockies to fight forest fires or fly relief supplies to the Congo. With the world beneath you, anywhere is possible.
- Dynamic Living World. Watch as the world under you comes to life, from the gates and fuel trucks at your local airport to the hustle and bustle of cities. Experience the challenges of landing at your local airport as day turns to night and as the seasons change.
- Multiplayer Racing. Race against friends online in challenges such as Red Bull Aerobatics, Sailplane, Cross Country, and Reno High Speed.

I bought this flight simulation with the veiw of learning more about the characteristics of flight.
This I have certainly done.
But not only does it teach the principles of fixed wing flight, it also teaches the principles of rototary flight.
I should warn people that this is not a shoot em up type but is a pure flight simulator and was exactly what I was after.
