Okay, you guys can call me a "Fucking Kid" and all the other nonsense that you wish. Look at this though, it IS a piece of SHIT compared to the stuff we have nowadays. Not saying that it was bad back then, though.
@theofficialstig I agree, It was a real as it got back then. People that are saying that the graphics are bad are just idiotic. When these kids are older and they have ungrateful youths talking about how bad Gears of War 3 looks, they will try to explain to them that that was the extent of gaming tech back then and that it was very popular, but they will just joke them and say Xbox 360 sucks because they have holographic HD/3D Virtual-Reality contact lenses that interface with their brains .
@minnyman454 yeah now it has :) but you know.. before it was like..real. Maybe in next 15 years we will be laughing at FSX. It´s amazing how it changes in years ..
I remember fs98 having flat pixelated scenery with 2 buildings placed every mile.And i thought that was awesome.I used to do very short flights,not knowing where the hell i am going,hoping i will spot an airport somewhere and land with no flaps and thrust reverses or anything like that.I always ended up crashing.Haha...Now for like 2 years straight,never crashed while attempting to land,ever.
OMGGGAAAAA it includes DIRECT 3D GRAPHICS!!!! AND ITS AS REAL AS IT GETS!! until the next game comes out... then the next... then the next..... then the next.........
I bet id kill the computer running this game at unlimited FPS, but i remember the most you could get outta the game when it game out was like, 10 FPS XD
It's more like a game then a sim. That is the first fail. The second one is that the fact it's more like a game has brought a bunch of little kids who think awesome is putting music on a junk full ILS landing wtf come on..
FSX is also a resource HOG. FS9 has many things on its side
1. More mature community
2. More realistic physics (More like A SIM NOT a F**** game)
3. Better add-on base
4. With scenery addons it can compete with FSX without low FPS
@Fsxroflcopter i agree. it is alot more like a game. i had fs since fs96 i think. and ive been playing alot. fsx looks great but it lacks some realism which means whenever i have to use fsx i need a good addon that has more realism. i dont use fs2004 much anmore
Just imagine in another 6 or so years from now we'll be thinking, "What the hell were we thinking? Thank FSX is amazing!?" But for now, FSX is amazing lol.
by making a version like FSX with better textures so it woud look as if you had the addons we use now. Also, they could make the game be GPU hungry, not CPU. Cause it's really hard to run on max settings and getting good fps.
@pilotlim LOL It says "As real as it gets!" on the CD cover and I just burst out laughing. Seems so dumb to say that when even FSX is unrealistic in its own ways.
yea i cant wait for 10 years with the new TOP END GAMING SYSTEMS....FS2014 OR SOMETHING....i wanna see REAL LIFE things in FS..i mean its getting there from 98-2002 big difference with 04 and x but i wanna see crazy real shyt....like birds.....actual ppl bording....flight attendets...food..movies...without 3rd party software...even though 2004 is plain but grapics r decent...still very very very fun to fly and land...i love ILS approaches....i been playing for over 6 years...im good now weeeee
but your right. not only virtual cockpits but a real co-pilot sitting next to you. a full cabin with in-built fsPassengers or something. oh, and real crash effects. and better groud texture. better landing smoke when your wheels touch the ground. REAL airlines at the gates. and a option to be flight attendant or something. after all its FLIGHTsimulator not PILOTsimulator. and way better airports and last but not least WAY better autogen
Yes we can laugh now about the poor quality of the graphics back then. But just wait 10 more years and you'll be laughing at FSX too. Once google earth and microsoft (and maybe the team of X-Plane) join forces you won't know what hits ya!
Thumbs up if in 2012 and still have this!
