The missions come as an urgent update from Air Traffic Control and can be fun or serious. However, to make it more interesting, Simulator X also features 50 different missions to stop you falling asleep at the controls. Whichever you choose, you can take control of anything from ultra-lights to Cessnas, commercial airliners and even helicopters. The first involves a simple bit of target practice whilst the others involve getting to grips with the basic controls and mastering landings. Once the five minute installation is complete, youРІР‚в„ўre presented with three choices – dropping flour on targets, introductory test flight or Caribbean landing. Compared to X-Plane, itРІР‚в„ўs certainly got far more graphical detail, presentation and playability and gets very close to the real thing.įirstly, be warned that this is a big download – 636.2MB to be exact. Simulator X is MicrosoftРІР‚в„ўs much improved follow-up to Flight Simulator 2004. ItРІР‚в„ўs not often that Microsoft gets it exactly right but this is one product which has received almost unanimous praise from developers and game players.
