MS flight simulator: 2002 or 2004?

There is also the possibility tha the OP didn't know there are any
serious alternatives to the MS product - in which case the other sim
suggestions might well be appropriate.

Am I missing something?

I looked and looked at the OP's message, and nowhere in it can I find
him asking whether he should buy MSFS or X-Plane... It's fine that
some of you prefer X-Plane (or other sims) over MSFS, but I just don't
see that it is relevant to this thread.

Just delurking for a moment...

I myself wasn't aware of either program and have been an
MSFS user since....uhmmm...well, a looong time.

Since X-plane is $$$ I won't be getting it anytime soon.
No $$$$ to spare.

FlightGear is free, and I've been toying with it for several
days and still can't get it to work right. And what I've
seen working so far isn't all that appealing. I really do
like the idea of it being an open source program. I have
several such programs and they work great.

BTW, I currently use FS2002pro.

Now if only I could get in a real plane.....
