I have been playing this for 9 years and enjoyed every minute of 3442 hours. I am a FSX addict. It has NEVER failed me. It has been a life saver in my retirement. Reloaded after getting a new PC with Windows 11.

7/10 This game is kinda slow, old and boring, but my Dad used to play it all the time when I was a teenager, and even into adulthood. I played it with him again a few months before he died. I think about him when I play it.

shout out and respect to those who are still playing FSX because their hardware isn't powerful enough to play the newer Microsoft flight simulator games your unspoken and unappreciated heros o7
