Microsoft's Flight Simulator 98 will get you off the ground and let you take yourself to places you've only read about. The latest version of FS 98 feels and looks like the previous version, but everything is executed better. Graphics and topography are improved as are sounds and motion. FS 98 is using 3D technology and can accept a Force Feedback joystick for added realism.
Microsoft has really put an emphasis on flight education and it is evident in the on-line lessons and flight school as well as the extensive aviation library. An instructor will talk you through all of the lesson step by step with a demonstration. Microsoft has revamped its FS world by adding some much needed photo realism to its landscape. You can actually fly quite low and still get a feel of real scenery and topography. While still not up to the level of recent flight games like DID's EF 2000, the view is much improved.
Landmarks are more easily recognized in many more areas than the previous versions. Lighting and shadows are better rendered using 3D technology. A 3D graphics card is really a plus for this simulator. I ran this on a Pentium 100 with 32 MB and a 2D card, then ran it on a 233 with 32 MB and a 3D card and the difference was drastic. The virtual cockpit will not run without the card, and it is worth having this view available as it is extremely realistic. The perspective approaches the real thing in the Cessna.
This is very important if you are going to use this for learning as you do get your cues from what you see inside as well as outside. It is important to note that the revision of software I was given did not have virtual views for the 737-400 or the Extra 300. Microsoft has clearly made an effort to cover more territory in this latest release. You get the whole world when you buy the software instead of having to purchase add-on scenery later. There are supposed to be more than 300 airports to take off from in this version, while I didn't count them I'd be inclined to believe them. They have got almost all of the major international airports from Kansai to Dorval, and have added significant navigation landmarks like churches, Olympic stadiums and even radio towers. The ground has more texture as does the water with detailed ripples that help give some depth of field.
There is new dynamic scenery added; F-18 fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier. Pay attention because they do move quickly! One item to note: you can land your Cessna in the blue shore of the San Francisco bay though I don't think this was Microsoft's intention. The aircraft flight models have been well executed with the exception of the Bell 206 helicopter.
The Cessna is right on with its stall speeds, takeoff and landing speeds. The 737 performs in a manner you would expect from a craft of that size; slower roll rates and tons more of inertia to keep in mind when you are trying to bring it in for that 'on schedule' landing.
It is a docile machine and will give the big plane feel. The virtual cockpit of the Learjet 45 really puts you into the pilot's seat. A lot of work has gone into the detail. Zooming your view in or out will give the look of moving the seat forward or back until you are comfortable. This was one of the only views that would slow the simulation down. Even a 233 Pentium couldn't keep up with the full view of the virtual cockpit and moving scenery.
