DESCRIPTION

Building upon success developed through half-a-dozen releases over the past 20 years, Microsoft returns to the skies with a new degree of realism and customization potential in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002. The series has become the default standard for PC flight sims, with many third-party developers creating add-ons and mods that bring new planes and scenarios to the basic structure of past versions of the Microsoft game. This title is designed to live up to that heritage.

This 2002 Professional Edition improves upon its predecessors by adding several features designed to provide a richer, more realistic experience. It also offers more planes and extras than the standard edition of the simulator. Pilots who brave the busy airports will interact with an air traffic control tower to guide them safely through the crowded skies. The program can generate appropriate scenery "on the fly," adding buildings and vegetation suitable to the areas the player travels above. New planes, visual effects, and activities also enhance play in this edition. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
