I have been using MS Flight Simulator 2002 for years and thought that it was about time to upgrade and see what 2010 X would bring to enhance the experience.
So it brings, less aircraft, less reality, less options, less cockpit views.
Needless to say I was VERY dissapointed. I am back to using and enjoying 2002 now.
What a complete waste of money.

The new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition gives the user exacting control over many types of aircraft. I used to be a real pilot but because of medical problems I can never fly again because the pressure changes of altitude will kill me. The new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition, in the high speed drive of my newest computer with an Athlon II X2 235e 2.7GHz Processor and 6GB Ram has given me back the ability to fly the aircraft I used to plus many others I always wanted to try. Coupled with The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X which I purchased through Amazon.com when I bought The new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition allows me to get back in the air with such reality that sometimes I forget I am sitting at a computer in my office. I also have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 but as well as various other Microsoft Flight Simulator programs but The new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition goes far beyond what they offer as far as regular flying and the aspect of planning cross country flights and filing flight plans.
If you are looking for realistic flight, The new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition is what you are looking for.

I'm using MS Flight Sim with a CH Yoke to practice cockpit procedures as I work through my pilot instrument rating. I'm only using the 172 in the Sim. I set it up to keep practicing in zero visibility, 5000 ft at GQE VOR NW of M01, the airport I normally fly out of.
The simulation of cross winds, VOR operation, compass acceleration - deceleration and turning errors, operation of the cockpit controls is faithful to what I see in the real airplane. I believe its saving me 100s of dollars to practice cognitive and interpretation skills before going out and spending big bucks flying them in a real airplane, when I'm much busier. It's been great for basic maneuvers, flying VOR radial intercepts, and holds.
I can't log the time, but it is better than sitting in an empty room using an imaginary airplane. The ability to review the ground track and altitude control afterwards is really helpful too. Of course it doesn't feel exactly like an airplane, it's my desk, and it drives me nuts the GPS always operates track up, but I just fly it, it's great. I operate dual screen, it's easy to set up a side window if I want, but I don't use for VFR at all. The scenery is off.
