Those of us that delight in Microsoft’s original Combat Flight Simulator require this product for certain enhancements. I bought this product to obtain additional Scenery Areas and Aircraft to add to CFS. I am also an avid user of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, but if you have some older model computers lying around that you want to delegate to a simulator role, than this late 90’s vintage software will work with the older processors, video cards and smaller hard drives. There still are plenty of add ons available on the internet to enhance the experience. Delight in your flights!

I bought Flight Simulator ‘98 for my father. When this product first came out, I bought it for my father who was a private pilot for over 40 years. He loved it very much and really liked the detail it contained, right down to the towers of the Limerick, PA power plant. We have lived in the shadow of that plant since it was erected and it has been part of my father’s flight patterns taking off and landing at both Limerick and Pottstown airports.
Apparently, one day the disc cracked and he was no longer able to use this particular version of Flight Simulator. He has several others, but for some reason these do not include the power plant and some other features of our area.
I turned to Amazon because in the past I have been able to get some hard-to-find CD’s, DVD, tapes, etc. and thought I would give it a try. Amazon was able to provide me with what I wanted and my dad is now able to “glide” with the proper scenery.
Thanks

I have had this program for eight years. I also have a friend with an airplane who takes me with him from time to time. I find this program enhances my meager skills enough that if he suddenly blacked out, I could get us back to the airport and safely landed.
I do not have a pilot’s license and have never taken flying lessons, other than what my friend has shown me.
Newer programs have more aircraft, more airports, and more scenery; but this program still does all of the basics you need for flying a real plane, and does them well. This program has more features than I will ever use. Using it will also make you a better, cooler airline passenger. You will know more about what the pilot is doing and how the plane is responding.
I do not have a joy stick, but use the number buttons on the right end of my keyboard for controls.
