A stunner
I have never used a flight simulator before so I did not know what to expect. It took about 15mins to load and I took a free flight and loved every second of it. As some reviews state you do need quite a powerful computer to do the game justice but it is worth the investment. It will take time to learn all the controls and features (even though I have a joystick) but then again who wants a game that can be finished in 5mins.

The Real Reason Why Planes Were Made
This game is amazing! I was stunned when I bought this, the snow lanscapes are truly stunning! Every time you go on it you want to explore the world! One minute i was flying over the pyramids over Egypt the next minute i was travelling to the alps! Seriously if you are a trainer pilot or a person who loves viewing the landscapes in the air, then this game is certainly for you! (make sure you have the required hard drive space (15GB) otherwise your experience my not be so good) honestly this game is amazing, 5/5.

Great
Sure this game is great, if you have the right PC. But overall MFS X is more or less boring! After all, you only fly from A to B, and the only action you can hope for is to deliberately crash into another airplane to at least experience something besides the excellent cockpit view.

The IL Sturmovik series are far bether if one seeks intense flying experience and action. And with the upcoming Maddox Storm of War: Battle of Britain soon to be released, the MFS X is already on its way out.

Fun if your PC can handle it but reinstalling impossible
I did manage to play this game for about a week, and it was fun, it plays well on a top spec Mesh computer. However I had a system crash and tried to reinstall the game but got an error message right at the end of installation; have tried all the fixes I can find but no good. I have gone back to good old FS2002, perhaps there will be a FS2008?
