Flight Simulator X for Pilots!

I'm really excited to set up Flight Simulator X for the PC because from the demo (click here for free trial) it is a huge improvement over Flight Simulator of years ago. It's not a fair comparison to compare older versions of the software to the newest and greatest, but it's only thing that I could compare to since my last visit with the game. My previous experience looked like this:


Which is now changed to this:


First Impressions of Flight Simulator X: Realism. Compared to the earlier FS2000 version, the ground looks more realistic relative to the height of which the plane is flying. There's even an Air Traffic Control report within the game which completely caught me by surprise since I was expecting a game to just take me in a plane and fly around. I've also found that there's a book written for pilots in training who'd like to use this software to help them earn their pilots license. NEAT!

Lots more to add, but, I've yet to do a full review and synopsis since I've a computer that I want to upgrade first and am waiting patiently for it to arrive. Details to come.
