The most impressive civilian sim ever. [Feb 2002, p.97]
90
The combination of vastly improved graphics and working air traffic control have added a depth to Flight Simulator 2002 that it's been lacking in its last couple of incarnations and has certainly rekindled my interest in the title.

It's unquestionably FS 2002's surprisingly glorious and massively modified visual presentation that makes this the finest civilian flight simulation ever to appear.

This is the game that introduced me to flight simulation in the first place. It's where I learned to taxi, takeoff, and land, and the realism of this game stands up well to other flight simulators, even today. Although I've since migrated to FSX, I still come back to play this one every so often simply because of the realism factor, and of course, nostalgia. It has also aged relatively well compared to other games from the time, and if that's not good enough there's still a great selection of addons to choose from that add new aircraft, airports, and scenery, among other things. If you can't afford to purchase Flight Simulator X, I'd say use this version.

Delivers everything that a dedicated flight-simmer could ask for. This game will be a very hard act to follow for a long time to come. [Jan 2002, p.58]

It's hard to think of anything that you might want to do in civilian flight that you can't do here...an incredible piece of software.

Is it compelling enough for Flight Simulator 2000 owners? Your mileage may vary, but for the graphical enhancements alone, I'd have to say yes.

SummaryIncludes a wide variety of aircraft for you to fly-from a new Cessna 172S single-engine trainer and a Caravan floatplane to the Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet. You can splash down in a lake, hover in the Bell 206B JetRanger III helicopter, or practice aerobatics in the Extra 300S. [Microsoft]
