First of all the requirements for the computer: The game is over 5 years old, and with a purchased today, normal computer the game runs quite smoothly. I play the simulator on a laptop purchased in 2008, without i7 processors or other frills, with high graphics settings. And the graphics are really great. Incredibly easily confused with reality. The planes look just like in the real world and the Fly are properties of aircraft to aircraft differently and realistic. If the air traffic in the air to set up (many planes flying around, landing and taking off / stand at the airports), you can really empathize with the life flight. Realistically, it is thus to add a number to the radio, roll, takeoff and landing permission to request or maybe just to know the weather. Also very suitable to simply explore the world. With appropriate graphics settings you can fly in the United States with a Cessna through the Grand Canyon, or with a stunt plane through the skyscrapers of New York. How realistic is it to be there, can be adjusted: Infinitely kerosene? Thermals? The landing may be as hard to be tolleriert? Can always be adapted to the situation. The Gold Edition includes more missions than the Standard Edition and it is in my opinion worth it. Ever landed on a moving bus? Unlike the old simulators this has significantly improved. From a simple "xxx- TO -xxx" flight, much has developed. Above all, the weather is very well done. The clouds look like clouds, and not like white balls, and the fog looks like fog, not like spilled flour. Great attention to detail even in the countryside, where the waves clap on the beaches on the shore and cars on the highways driving (adjustable). It should still be said (many, including myself, knew that before buying not): you really can start anywhere in the world by plane, from the smallest airports in mountains to the Kennedy Intl. in New York. A little problem there might be at the beginning: The fly itself. This is not as easy as you might imagine and is due less to the many switches and buttons in the cockpit. In addition, there are well-structured flight hours of a real pilot who teaches a flying like a real, severe flight instructor. What perhaps should note for flying a joystick is very important (I recommend using a joystick with at least 3 axes + additional throttle, if you want to use is not one of the axes, they need to fly, using the arrow keys..) , Use arrow keys, it is impossible to control an airplane. I would not call it easy FSX Simulation that depends on how you use it. Depending on it can be used as a fun game where you actually even has crash landed in the sea. For Price: 47 euros like many seem expensive, but it really is time to a product, which might be called simulation. And as the Professional Edition alone ~ 38 euros costs and Acceleration alone ~ 20 euros, I find the Gold Edition a fair offer. The currently MMN. Best flight simulator.
