Pros: I got to fly in my hometown!!(Squamish Canada) really neat, and sorta realistic
Cons: Very demanding of my system, and some stuff WON'T work

I'm running a two year old p4 2.4g with 512ram and a 9250 radeon 128m vid card.

I have everything set on low and it's still very laggy an my computer... aaah well... time to upgrade....

But It said it could run on 1.0G system LOL...good luck!

As for Recommended/Not Recommended....
Yes the sim seems really good...
-If microsoft said minimum 3.0ghz and 2gig ram, + a kicking video card, then I wouldn't have been disappointed..

But NO... It won't run on any of my friends systems...
So I won't recommend it...
microsoft should be more realistic about system requirements

-I gave it a 3/5 stars cause I think it may help me with my pilots licence....
