I love it when folks refer to the program as; "FS 2004" (A Century of Flight), like it says on the box, rather than the "texted" description; "FS9"....
...!
I have all the boxed versions since FS '98.
I mostly use my FSX version now, but every now and again I fire up my FS 2004 version, (together with my FS Navigator and LAGO FSSE and FSE Scenery Enhancers), for a spot of nostalgia from the distant past!
The only thing that I really miss in FS 2004, is the FSX moving traffic!
FS 2004 still holds its own amongst the Flight Sims...with loads of add-ons!....
