Details: Amazon.com Microsoft continues its 17-year tradition of flight simulators with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Professional Edition, an expanded version of the standard Flight Simulator 2000, with enough extras to justify the slightly higher price. Though the last few editions have disappointed long-time aviation enthusiasts, Microsoft looks to reinvent the series by including cutting-edge graphics (supporting 3-D accelerators), enhanced sound, and a wealth of flyable planes and new features. Flight Simulator 2000 Professional features all the new planes and cities of the standard edition with two additional aircraft–the Mooney Bravo and Raytheon King Air 350–and six additional detailed cities–Boston, Washington D.C., Seattle, Berlin, Tokyo, and Rome. Along with the new planes and cities, FS 2000 Professional Edition also includes two additional high-resolution, extra-large IFR-flight instrument panels. Perhaps the most creative additions, however, are the flight dynamics and instrument-panel editor that allow gifted designers to create their own flight conditions and plane interiors. Best of all, Flight Simulator 2000 Professional Edition’s flight model feels just right, and each plane performs according to specifications. FS 2000 Professional Edition is fully compatible with Flight Simulator 98’s aircraft, scenery, and adventures. Along with all the enhancements, the game includes a hefty 300-plus-page manual to provide tips and strategies for both novices and aviation veterans. –Doug Radcliffe Pros: Realistic flight modeling Detailed, easy-to-use manual Brilliant terrain, plane, and instrument-panel graphics Con: High system requirements
