my last microsoft flight simulator was 98, and it was so terrible i never touched it after the first time.
good riddance to bad rubbish. you want to fly, get falcon 4.0 allied force or go d/l DCS: A-10C Warthog

sure microsoft flight X is good to practice if you're learning how to fly or want an idea of how to fly if the flight crew on your airliner gets taken out by terrorists or a bird strike, but good god if you already know how to fly any plane it's so boring and worthless. all i see is a bunch of hijacked aircraft taken over by terrorists i want to shoot down with a fully loaded down F-16/F-18.
after you learn how to fly and get bored grab a fighter simulator and learn how to select ordinance, dodge enemy AA and air defenses fly map of the earth as you use mountains for cover and cities as shields while evading enemy fighters and knocking out their radar installations and runways and taking down as many enemy ground and air units as possible before landing while your cockpit is screaming "bingo bingo" at you for 10 minutes and you're only half way home and looking for the nearest refueling tanker while some enemy rookie is dogging your tail and you are down to your last rounds on the 20mm cannon you're packin'.
i like how DCS adds in other aircraft and incorporates other stand alone games such as the A1-0 warthog & KA-50 land shark russian attack helicopter counterpart of the apache AH-64 and lockon with the F-15,Su27,Su25&T,Mig29A,Su33 as if they were addon/expansion packs meant to be combined. something i think Janes should work on with all of their simulators which in this day and age is achievable and should have been done awhile ago while they were developing F-18.
i was sad to see microprose go bankrupt by bobby koticks heading of activision in developing Falcon 4.0 much the same way mitt romney at the head of bain capital bankrupted kaybee toy store chains after leveraging and pocketing the profits from what assets kaybee had left.
i think we are at the point where a game like gunmetal but in the world of macross/robotech should be developed with all the units from it. i sincerely hope lucas arts gets it's hands on it and develops it in the same way as x-wing vs. tie fighter, nobody else i can think of at the moment i would trust to make it.
