anyone have some thoughts on the differences between the two?

i had a panasonic w2 laptop. 768MB RAM, 40GB HD (20 free), VGA video
with 64MG shared memory.

i think 2002 would be better as its system requirements are lower.

thanks

X-Plane and MSFS 2004 both have their positives and negatives. MSFS
2004 has better scenery. You can pretty much plan and execute a
x-country in MSFS and then do it for real the next day and see pretty
much the same landmarks. X-Plane's scenery is sparse, but has a
slightly better flight model. I have both loaded on my computer and
enjoy them both equally, but for the different reasons noted above.
