FSX is a great flight simulator that can run on most devices. For a casual, it's a great sim with missions and tutorials, which are just not there in MSFS or 2024. To genuinely have fun, FSX is amazing, but at least in my experience, the limitation of the sim makes it hard for prolonged periods. I like to have flights that can go on for hours, it's frustrating to run out of vas or just crash when at the finish line. Or the game keeps on crashing after 30 minutes, which I have to solve by getting a UIAutomationCore.dll from the Windows folder. It's worse when uninstalling, as I have to repeat the steps. If you are looking for a full fidelity experience and don't already own addons for this game, I would not recommend it. Investing in an older sim is just not worth it, as most of these old addons will never reduce in price other than during sales. If you are looking for a realistic experience, it's better to put your money elsewhere or a modern sim. The game is old and great for what it is, but it's not worth spending money on.

Great flight simulator. The scenery is very nice, and it runs good on most pcs depending in the graphics settings, It also has great tutorials for new players, and has great single player missions. Also the multiplayer in fsx is very good. You can also share an aircraft and sit in the passenger seat, this is really good if you want to teach friends how to use planes. A really good feature is the fact that you can use your mouse as a joystick, I wish newer microsoft flight simulators had this, this is very helpful if you have limited space on your desk, and in my opinion the mouse actually works better than a joystick. You can easily custamize the speed of the movement movement in windows settings. Overall this is a very nice simulator, and I recommend it if you just want to sit back and relax with a flight simulator.

HOW TO FIX THIS GAME NOT LAUNCHING: Go to the game files for this game (FSX). Find the FSX.EXE file and try running that. Also try making FSX.EXE an administrator if you're having issues. I'm not entirely certain how I made it work but I know for sure it was through FSX.EXE in the game files so try checking fsx.exe if you're having issues launching this game Not too bad of a game

I want to play this game, but I can't. It just complains that I don't have enough disk space, when I have well over 100GB free on both my local and network drives. Waste of money for me!

This is literally the only flight simulator that can run on my old day laptop that ran extremely smooth except the game freezing xd after digging some that are found to be complicated and buggy, but this??! it amazing despite it age it still hold remarkably well during this era, I find it really fun experimenting and learning how flying works it not as janky or complex as the other I tried, hopefully microsoft flight simulator X get the best attention of this! worth the budget I bought from! this is the first time I have ever tried this flight simulator so far this deserve a recommendation as the graphics are highly accessible to any people hardware for the most realistic flight simulator.

Classic flight simulator with lots of available add-ons both free and paid. Low barrier to entry in terms of cost and computer hardware.

Still one of the best ways to feel like a real pilot without ever leaving your couch. The graphics hold up surprisingly well, and the flight physics give you that satisfying mix of challenge and realism. Some controls can be clunky, and it’s definitely a game you learn over time, but once you get the hang of it, soaring over landscapes is pure zen. Perfect for aviation junkies and anyone who wants to kill a few hours pretending to be in the cockpit.

Used to play FSX a ton back in the day and it's always nice to come back to it. It's not as fancy as the newer ones graphically, but it takes nothing away from the fun of this game. Highly suggest it, specially to those who aren't completely sure about plane sims.

Great game I have played this game for a long time and it has a lot of software that make it a highly modifiable game. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is into Flight sims.

The best for some cheap but meaningful IFR training! Still use it today after more than 10 years to maintain some proficiency in casual IFR.

Though definitely dated by this point, in graphics, simulation, scenery, and just about everything else, the sim still holds up rather well. Especially with the nostalgic charm it still has (for me). As far as I'm concerned though, it's still perfectly usable today, especially if you're on older/weaker/slower hardware. Many airports will be outdated, sure, but you can still find VERY good freeware (better than X-Plane and modern MSFS is some cases, I'd say), and even good payware that's still hanging around, a lot of which is at a discounted price. Even with the outdated airports, I believe (still have to test myself) you can still use Navigraph to have upgraded nav data so that way you can use SimBrief efficiently. I wouldn't dare do VATSIM on FSX unless you really know what you're doing. The default ATC is enjoyable, at least in my experience, but it certainly isn't fully realistic. EDIT: Navigraph does NOT update the base nav data. Only addons. You can find up-to-date nav data elsewhere (I found mine at aero.sors.fr). Again do keep in mind that airports will still be outdated in terms of layout and ILS frequencies.

Robust FS that runs on less powerful machines (via Steam). I got myself a simple Logitech flight stick, and the whole thing costs maybe $100US. Great deal.
