any other flight sims other than FSX?

[jomni]

i agree with the above recommendations of fs 9(fs2004). its so very superior to fs10 in so very many ways. for that matter, so is fs8. fs10 can often look better if you have a very expensive system and very expensive addons. thats its only advantage and it aint worth it. if youre interested in actual flying, then till youve been using fs9 awhile u might not even fully realize what a malfunctioning clusterfoul fs10 is. so if youre not yet to the point of knee-jerk, reality-denying, embarrased defensiveness over all the time and money wasted on fs10, do yourself a favor and get fs9.

(okay, all u fs10 diehards, dont take yourselves too seriously - i have only sympathy for innocent dupes )

I'm insulted! (joke) FSX is my main sim. Though I have FS2004 installed in a secondary laptop.

Fs 2004.

I agree on FS 2004. I think it is as good as FSX and in some ways better suited to a lower end system. I especially like the history of flight section it has. Hours of interesting reading and fun facts. I just got a new laptop and installed FSX on it and it runs surprisingly well considering it has an integrated Intel HD graphics chip. So I am going to install FS9 as well and have the option to fly either one.

I tried FlightGear and found it to be a good sim, but I am just too used to MS flight sims that I didn't want to face the learning curve on a different one.

I tried the demo of X-plane and it was very good a few years back, but I like the graphics on the MS FS's. I may need to check it out again and see if it is any better now that I have a machine that will actually handle the simulation part of a flight sim and not run all stuttery with the sliders pushed up on high.

I would say FSX or FS9. Or even MS Flight when it comes out. MS always makes good flight sims from having used them. If you are wanting to try something new, X-Plane is something to consider. If you are wanting to get a better sim for some reason, wait for MS flight.

can anyone recommend any other good flight simulators...?

thanks

No one has mentioned Rise Of Flight here? The graphics are as good as FS9.

I'm also still using FS2004.

@snadge: Do you want to discover other sims, or is there something you miss in FSX ?

was just seeing what else there is... my dad loves FSX
