Flight Simulator 2004

The beginnings of Microsoft Flight Simulator series was quite humble and began as a set of articles on computer graphics, written by Bruce Artwick about Flight Simulation using 3D graphic. Subsequently, when the idea was commercialized, improved versions followed and thereafter evolved into a long running series of computer flight games. Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 is the culmination of 20 years of developing and perfecting computer Flight Simulation.

This simulator is a milestone in the flight game franchise and allows aviation enthusiasts to go back in history and experience the controls of historic aircrafts, such as the world’s first successful powered airplane, the ‘Wright Flyer’, Charles Lindbergh’s Ryan NYP ‘Spirit of St. Louis’ and the Douglas DC-3. The other appealing features of Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 include the new interactive multimedia with a collection of historical data about aircrafts that created aviation history and the pilots who flew them. Insightful information explains the details of the progress of Microsoft’s Flight Simulators and the 24 aircrafts included in the software.

Otherwise labeled as ‘A Century of Flight’, Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 acquaints the user with the latest and modernized version of a dynamic weather system, improved automatically generated scenery (Autogen) and comprehensive visual effects, sophisticated Air Traffic Control functions and 3D interactive cockpits. Among the modern aircrafts available in the Flight Sim, the Beechcraft Baron and the Robinson R22 helicopter are also included.

Keeping the increasing popularity of Flight Simulators among users, Microsoft flight 2004 has included some add-ons to expand your experience and stimulate you to play longer. Once you become a member of the site these add-ons come as freeware. The add-on packages consist of additional aircraft, scenery expansions and repaints. You can preview the add-on and install with the guide provided in the Flight Sim. For more information you can visit the forums.
