🛫 Elevate Your Gaming Experience!
Product description "Flight Simulator 2002 builds on more than 20 years of expertise to create a flying experience that meets your high standards. Designed by pilots for pilots and serious aviation enthusiasts, Flight Simulator delivers a new level of realism, detail depth and interactive excitement." .com Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, Professional Edition is the latest version of Microsoft's highly realistic aviation simulation--the top-selling PC flight simulation ever produced. FS 2002 Pro introduces many exciting features, including interactive air traffic control (ATC) and auto-generated scenery, plus challenging new aircraft and stunning visual enhancements that truly make Flight Simulator 2002, Professional Edition "as real as it gets."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. You can splash down in a lake, hover in the Bell 206B JetRanger III helicopter, or practice aerobatics in the Extra 300S. FS 2002 Pro includes 16 aircraft, four more than in the standard edition.Features exclusive to the professional edition include tools for creating your own planes and buildings, and a multiplayer "instructor's seat" capability. The most dramatic new features common to both editions are the interactive air traffic control system, crowded skies, and auto-generated scenery.The interactive air traffic control feature adds a new dimension to Flight Simulator. Now you can ask for takeoff clearance, get vectors for an instrument approach, and hear other traffic as you fly. In fact, the "other traffic" is itself a new feature: a new artificial intelligence system generates air traffic around and between airports.It'll be hard to pay attention to the air traffic, however, as the scenery in FS 2002 Pro is so attractive. As you fly above cities, towns, farmland, and dramatic landscapes, Flight Simulator adds buildings and vegetation appropriate to the terrain below. Office buildings, factories, homes, farmhouses, and trees smoothly blend in on the horizon and fill the entire area with detail that adds unprecedented depth and reality to the game.Other features include more than 21,000 airports, multiplayer capability, improved weather effects, a moving map and GPS system, in-depth flight analysis, and more.

...but I ain't got wings.
FS 2002 is a serious simulator. That said, this simulator is a real achievement from the folks at Microsoft (like 'em or not). I have gone through most of the training lessons, and I can tell you that they are thorough. I have two friends, who are real pilots (I'm not), that are amazed by the knowledge I've gained without leaving the confines of my study or risking a real-life bad-weather landing. So impressed that they each ran out and purchased a copy.The simulator includes numerous detailed aircraft, thousands of airports, amazing graphics (definitely need a good accelerator and lots of RAM for this), detailed downtowns (I live near Denver and it's spot-on), real-time weather conditions, customizable weather conditions (for practicing your instrument landings), and a ton of lessons that will let you talk-the-talk with real pilots. I've played this one for hours, and I really haven't scratched the surface. If you're even a little interested in flying, buy this game.

But I felt like I am playing the P
I still haven't learned how to land, I tried to get into it again. But I felt like I am playing the P.C. Gamer demo all over, one flight plan, not much landing going on, you take off from like a single airport. Yet it filled the entire P.C. Gamer demo disc that issue. There was no other demo's with that issue. So I thought I would learn how to land. I haven't yet.

This is 2002 Flight Sim
I mistook the disc for the 2022 Version. Quite disappointed but decided to just keep it without going through the hassle of getting my money back.Fired it up in my computer with all the upgrades to run Flight Sim 2023 and it loaded fast.Hooked up my joystick and selected The Corsair F4U plane.Then the bugs started crawling out.Everything worked OK on takeoff but all of a sudden, all control was lost, and the plane crashed.Re-started program and could not change aircraft.Disappointed, I just unloaded the program and put it away.All I can say is buy this at your own risk as it is not returnable.I don't recommend it.

Visually great, not well tuned
The features, flight model, planes, scene database, and configuration/settings interface is quite good. It's fun to fly.It doesn't seem like the software is particularly well tuned for performance (frame rate is critical for flight simulation). The frame rates are quite low even with good hardware. I was using a 2 Ghz AMD machine, Win 2K, and a GeForce Ti 4200. At the time this was a very good CPU, good OS (for games), and a fairly good gfx card.

Easy to use game
Easy to use game, great graphics and many airports to take off from and land. You can play it by using your keyboard and mouse. To get full experience, I highly recommend spending a few bucks on a joystick.
