Anybody tried it yet? The ads look interesting and it looks like it’s priced reasonably well.

I love my flt sim 98. How does it compare?

I may have to do an upgrade to my machine(I only have 256 of RAM). I understand, but that can be managed.

Is it worth the trouble?

Are the graphics that much better?

I am not a big gamer and don’t spend a LOT of time playing. But the ads have piqued my interest.

The graphics are amazing. However, even a cutting edge system will have trouble running everything at full settings.

If you like Flight Simulators, you will like this.
