this be a very fun and highly detailed game . it be the best flight simulator there be I think . if you know how sofisticated Windows 7 be , just think of something as sofisticated as Windows xp as a video game and it will let you know how many detail be in this game . you can go from easy , medium , and hard difficulty . hard be basically a real rendition of fly a real plane . Easy be pretty much cake in the mission until you get halfway . I just put it on medium and thing like wind and descent rate be make I crash like crazy , and I have be play this game for a couple year now . the funny thing be , I really enjoy fly jet because they be the funnest and easiest thing to fly I think . well next to the Ultralight anyway . another funny thing be that the Helicopters be extremely hard to fly . I still can not get past the helicopter mission even on easy . it always fly out of control and then crash whenever I try to turn it . maybe it be just I but they be extremely hard to fly . the good thing about this game be free flight . you can fly from one destination to another destination airport . it be pretty fun because you have to stop in town to refuel and stuff , but I still have not figure that out . I enjoy just fly around and then crash into a lake or something . it be cool to see the different scene . I once fly from like Washington to Alaska and you can tell the different state because Alaska have a lot of tree and snow and stuff . overall , this game be really fun and enjoyable to everyone I think over the age of something like 10 . forget all those black op game and stuff like that just poison the mind , pick this game up , you will not regret it . I have the deluxe version , but if I be you I would pick up the gold edition with the Acceleration pack . I think it have a few more mission which be great and a couple more airplane . I wish they would just create a flight Simulator XI already because this game be get pretty date with the graphic . I be sure they can create way better graphic and maybe different mission . but for now , this game be fantastic !
