I used to own a Microsoft Flight Simulator a few years ago. This is is a later version. I enjoyed the game then and I enjoy it even more now. This game is so realistic. I believe it is more fun than actually flying a plane. You can make mistakes and crash and get up and walk away. You can try things a real pilot cannot. The scenery is authentic. The airport at Kodiak, Alaska is exactly as I remember it. I flew out of there east to "Seal Island", a smallish Rock island inhabited by Sea Lions, off Cape Chiniak. I never expected to see it on a map.

I originally bought FSX and liked it very much. Later on I found out the FSX Deluxe has 1 or 2 planes more that was not in FSX. So I bought FSX Deluxe and gave my friend Mike FSX. I play FSX Deluxe frequently. One of the planes that is not in FSX is the Grumman Goose. The Grumman Goose is an amphibian plane. You can raise/lower the pontoons and raise/lower the landing gear. You can take off in water or on land and land in water or on land. You can open/close the boarding hatch. P.Corti.

This was an upgrade for me from a previous version and Microsoft has done another great job on their flight simulator. I am also using the Saitek PRO Flight Yoke System which makes a great addition to the simulator. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this flight simulator to anyone interested in a realistic flight experience.
