General Comments
The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 - A Century of Flight PC game is very good. In fact, it is so good that I don't like to call it a game. To me, it's a simulator and not a game although, it cannot really be compared with real simulators used by real pilots).
If you have no idea on how an aircraft works, it's no problem! You don't have to be a pilot to use Flight Simulator 2004. This simulator offers many "flying" lessons, which defiantly get you on the right flight path!
FS2004 can be modified to the extreme. There are so many additional extras (add-ons) made for it; all of which are not developed by Microsoft. You can add more aircraft. You can make the scenery look more realistic, and you can even join huge multiplayer networks (i.e. VATSIM) and talk to real people at the control towers. Using the VATSIM network also enables you to see other real people flying around you!
What you do on FS2004 is entirely up to you. You can just simply mess about and fly wherever you like. You can perform stunts. Or, you can do a realistic flight in a jet! FS2004 is quite realistic when it comes to aircraft systems. OK, some of the main features in commercial aircraft are non-existent in the default FS2004 aircraft (such as the flight management console), and although this can be considered as a downside, this can easily be solved by downloading more realistic aircraft from the internet (such as the PMDG 737NG).
Please note that Flight Simulator 2004 is designed for entertainment purposes only. If you wish to become a real pilot, I suggest contacting one of your local flight schools and take real flying lessons.
Using Flight Simulator 2004 will increase your aviation knowledge to some degree, but it isn't the same as the real thing. Although, for a home computer, it is "as real as it gets".
