There are actual cars on the roads(to a point where the technology allows it) and there is also wild life, though sometimes it feels like it's only placed on specific places to enhance missions. there are lakes, coastlines, big cities and famous landmarks like Eiffel tower and the Parthenon.
final verdict on the interface: you will need at least a decent HOTAS joystick and a second monitor in order, at least partially, alleviate frustration TECHNICAL- It mostly feels great to fly in the world of flight simulator X.
a hat switch on the joystick is a convenient feature, but still you would have to let the controls and grab the mouse in order to use the clickable instruments. you will constantly need to turn and zoom the camera to the instruments you need to see and use, forcing you to let the controls of the aircraft. the reason for this is that one monitor cannot fit all the instruments inside it. The in-game interface on the other hand, is a bit of a chore without a head tracking device, even if you are using a HOTAS joystick. INTERFACE- the interface in the menus is good and it does it's job. However many aircraft are legacy, ported from the previous entry FS2004 and often not all buttons are clickable. Clickable cockpits are a convinience as memorizing each and every keyboard combination might be time consuming and annoying. fortunately, the save feature allows as many saves as you want and whenever you want, sparing you the frustration.
Missions will gradually get very challenging, and the more advanced missions will require large amounts of effort and lots of trial and error to pull off. tutorial missions do a fairly good job on teaching you the basics and some more advanced flight techniques. GAMEPLAY-The sim itself now is fairly easy to learn. For the type of game FSX is, this is not really a flaw. MISSIONS-as you would expect, flight simulator X doesn't have a story with missions being an exception, which have a self contained plot each, which most of the time are nothing special. MISSIONS-as you would expect, flight simulator As a flight simulator fan i came to love FSX, but this did not blinded me towards its flaws. … ExpandĪs a flight simulator fan i came to love FSX, but this did not blinded me towards its flaws. But I like FSX much and the 10 pounds were well worth it, but fs9 is better. FS9 is still the best simulator in my opinion, and the addons for that game are much better. And the RAM it takes makes no sense, while FS9 runs very smoothly and takes only 3-5GB and uses less than 500MB's of RAM, I am very much making videos with FSX, and i'm very unhappy about that i have to play in 20% when recording so it will be smooth when i'll speed it up. What i don't like about the game is for an example the requirements, 15GB of space and grows to 40GB when you get a few addons. I bought this game when it was released and back then I didn't know a single bean about aviation even though I am very interested, but through the years this has developed my knowledge.
