  Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 information and review
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, a Century of Flight, is by far the most realistic in the series to date.
Flight Simulator 2004 will acquire the latest weather data from the National Weather Service and feed it into your computer for real time and weather conditions and update the weather every 15 minutes as you fly.
My Flight Simulator practice enabled me to control the aircraft adequately, but we had to rely on Harold's skill and experience to land the plane over the treetops to the tricky sand and grass strip at Costin.

  Flight simulator Summary
Flight simulators are extensively used by the aviation industry and the military for pilot training, disaster simulation and aircraft development.
By 1969 airline simulators were developed where hydraulic actuators controlled each axis of motion, and simulators began to be built with six degrees of freedom (roll, pitch, yaw for angular motion and surge, heave and sway for longitudinal, vertical and lateral translation).
Flight simulators are also extensively used for research in various aerospace subjects, particularly in flight dynamics and man-machine interaction.

 Microsoft Flight Simulator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the best-known and most comprehensive home flight simulator series, Microsoft Flight Simulator was an early product in the Microsoft portfolio - different from its other software which was largely business-oriented - and is its longest-running franchise, predating Windows by three years.
A large community exists for the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise, partly stemming from the open nature of the simulator structure which allows for numerous modifications to be made.
Flight Simulator X was officially unveiled at the 2006 International CES as a gaming showcase for Microsoft Windows Vista.

With Flight Simulator X, Microsoft is making a lot of improvements in an effort to bring both old and new fans into the mix.
Flight Simulator X will feature approximately 24 real-life aircraft, including an Ultralite for those gamers who don't want to deal with dozens of dials and knobs.
There's no denying that Flight Simulator X is going to be one of the best looking games the PC has ever seen, but it's nice to see that Microsoft has done more than just slap a fresh coat of paint onto the series.

 First Flight
When their test flights did not produce as much lift as they had expected, they went back to first principles and carried out a series of scientific experiments, starting with the bicycle balance and moving on to their famous wind tunnel experiments.
They were the first to understand how the lift from the aerofoil changes in flight, and the first to design their propellers as a form of aerofoil.
Their canard design was safer in a stall but a web-based version of Frederick Hooven's flight simulation demonstrates how difficult it must have been to control.

Microsoft Flight Simulator has long been the undisputed champion of the civil aviation sim scene, and the last four years' worth of halfhearted upgrades led some to think that the flyboys in Redmond had given up even trying.
These two simulators are too hard for a person that just wants to fly and have fun instead of searching through the manual and trying to start the plane for takeoff.
Flight Simulator 98 is one of the most real flight sim on the market.

 Digg - Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Gorgeous screenshots)
However, Microsoft Flight Simulator does have fairly good ATC communication, so it might help you by giving you the upper hand while talking on the radios (something I see a lot of new pilots struggle with for a very long time--especially when an airport gets busy).
Not only will using a flight simulator save you a ton of time on your Instrument Rating (if you plan on ever getting it), but it will also save you a lot of money which could be put towards whatever else you plan on pursuing aviation wise--or just to keep some cash in your pocket.
With flight simulators, serving a true practical purpose and as a proxy for a much more costly real experience, I think replacing hardware every couple years is a small price to bear.
