Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight by Microsoft
Flight Simulator 2002, Professional Edition includes a wide variety of aircraft for you to fly--from a new Cessna 172S single-engine trainer and a Caravan floatplane to the Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet.
Unless you love simulations and enjoy PC titles that are as realistic as possible, you'll certaintly find FS 2002 the antithesis of fun, interesting, or exciting: It's very tedious, takes a long time to learn all the commands and fly and land correctly and even the actual flying can seem very, very slow moving.

 MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X
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.

 Microsoft Flight Simulator X (PC) Reviews. PC Games Reviews by CNET.
Microsoft's Flight Simulator X provides a mind-boggling level of depth and breadth--if you don't mind some less than stellar frame rates.
But Flight Simulator X also adds significant features tailored to the player who would be bored to tears by simply flying from Akron to San Francisco in real time, most notably a series of goal-oriented missions (and an editor that will surely result in a huge number of add-on scenarios).
There's a lot of discussion about the sim's performance in the flight sim discussion forums, yielding a variety of config-file tweaks to boost the performance, but be forewarned that it will take some serious high-end hardware to run Flight Simulator X at high frame rates.

 Digg - Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Gorgeous screenshots)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
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.

 Microsoft Flight Simulator X PC Video Game Review by AceGamez
Thirty years into the evolution of the Flight Simulator, all fans of Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight will appreciate all the areas where the King of Simulators was still far from perfect.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X addresses all these issues in a way that, provided your machine can 'take the heat,' will simply take your breath away.
The flight dynamics and realism within the simulation of flight itself has not changed much within FSX, but it was already very good anyway.
