Over the years, Microsoft has gained a reputation of being a pretty reliable software provider (not counting the Vista mess)…but the release of Flight Simulator 10 (FSX) has brought much animosity to the Flight Sim. community.

Here are the facts: FSX was release in October of 2006. Since then there have been two Service Packs released and an “Expansion Pack”. Sadly, many of the major issues have yet to be resolved within the game. Many BETA testers have gone online and stated they knew of all the errors and reported those errors to the Microsoft Games Team…apparently their comments and concerns fell on VERY deaf ears…

I have spent over $100.00 dollars on just FSX ($70 dollars for FSX Deluxe, $30 dollars for the Acceleration Expansion Pack) and I feel I have been ripped off. I trust that when I buy a game, especially one of this caliber, would function in a manner that would be playable! I can’t tell you how many times FSX just quits on me. Oh did I mention the countless terrain errors, propeller errors, the A321 flying dynamics (are there any dynamics to that “aircraft”?!)…oh yeah, the Accleration Expansion Pack made new problems. Oh joy!

So in the end, I am left out-to-dry; I have lost my $100.00 dollars to Microsoft. Microsoft should be embarrassed by their poor job with this game. You know there is a SERIOUS problems when the preceding game (FS2004) is better and more reliable than the “NEW” one (FSX)…sad, but not surprising anymore…
