Reception
David Florance for Compute! said "shortcomings are easily outweighed by the sheer delight this program brings."
Jason Durbin for PC World said of v. 2.13 "for the timid types who wouldn't be caught living or dead at 10,000 feet, Microsoft Flight Simulator is an excellent way to enjoy the thrill of flight vicariously."
