Pros: Not a bad price, easy for beginers, graphics card not needed for low graphics playing.
Cons: You need a joy stick , you need a graphics card for Great graphics.
The Bottom Line: I would recomend this to all my friend. It is the best simulation I have ever used. If you do buy it, buy the deluxe version.

Pros: Most realistic general aviation and commercial aviation simulator to date.
Cons: Requires a modern computer to run.
The Bottom Line: Get FS10 if you have a fast computer. Get FS9 if your system is slow or older than 6 months. Be prepared to upgrade your hardware either way.

Pros: Really cool specialized missions and G force effects
Cons: It can bring fast computers to their knees but just moving the sliders up.
The Bottom Line: Save you're money as it is a total resource hog that will have even a fast gaming computer screaming for mercy.

Pros: Accurate topography included, very pretty airplanes.
Cons: Needs a super powerful computer to operate satisfactorily.
The Bottom Line: Wait about three to five years to allow technology to catch up and prices to drop, and get what is today a top of the line rig.
