I downloaded and tried tonight. The time on the demo expires too quickly. You can restart the game each time but is a pain. I am not sure this is all that great. A little boring and the graphics sometimes load in front of you during play. You don't have the ability to free look around the cockpit as in first person mode. You can only switch views by hitting certain keys on the keyboard. Straight ahead, left, right, down at the instrument panel, etc.

You can look around the cockpit, but you need to be in 'virtual cockpit' mode.

I don't think its that much better then FS2004.

This is what I want to hear more of: comparisons to FS2004 by you guys who have it.

Any more of you out there?

To enjoy a flight sim, you have to either have or want your private pilot license.
