Advantages: YOU FLY!

Disadvantages: multiplayer sucks

I recently bought this amazing game, about two weeks ago. being a student pilot myself i see this game very realistic, and the graphics are amazing. If your into flying and into planes then this game is just for you.
You can fly with any joystick you want (i use my ps3 six axis controller), trust me it is much easier to land a plane like that. but of course there are some down sides about this game.
1) multiplayer sucks. the lobby is always full, Gamespy should put more servers. and even if you do get in, you wont have much fun as the servers are very laggy.
2) You need a really good computer with really high spec to get graphics that will satisfy you. on my computer i got it on medium graphics so it wont lag and i have the following specs.
Inter core 2 duo.
Geforce graphics card 8800gt
Windows xp.
2gb ram.
i have heard that this game works much better on a vista so i will try soon.

overall the game is amazing. much better than x plane 9 as it is more user friendly. i will give it 9/10.

Summary: Great game, just needs multiplayer fixing.
