I owned the old Flight Simulator, it was the 2000 version I think. It was pretty good, and I remember I had to buy a Joystick in order to play it. My friend had a new version, and it looked pretty good (both graphics and gameplay). I'm not a big fan of those games though, they seem to get boring after a while. But if you're into flying planes, and want a realistic experience, then this is for you. If you're looking to shoot down other planes, look elsewhere
