Hi
I used to mess around a lot with fs2000 and then on to fs2002.
Since then having moved house and broadband for big downloads I've
been thinking of getting back into flightsimming.
Should I load my old copy of fs2002 onto my new pc? Or buy 2004? Or
hang around and wait until fs2006 (if there's any news of an impending
release)???
Cheers

If I were you I'd get (instant) satisfaction and buy myself fs2k4.
It's always fun to learn the new stuff, right now it is reasonably priced
($25 at amazon.com) and there is no word on fs2k6 yet.

Of course it can depend on the computer you have. fs2k4 needs a bit more
power than fs2k2, but you can adjust the eye candy slides. I run it with an
amd 2800 and 1Gig with medium sliders on 20 fps.

Happy flying

Gerard

yep.. install FS2002.. and pick up FS2004 for $20-odd bucks at the
techie store and install that too. Then see which you run the most!!

2004. Why use an inferior product when 2004 is like $25 now? And most
new addons are 2004 specific.
