Hi!
I have FS2002.
Is it worth getting the profesional version? I wondered if it was even more real than the normal one, and if it was more difficult. Could any of u guys tell me wether I'd be wasting my money if I go and buy it? The're selling for about

Answer question 1 There is not a whole lot of difference between pro and non pro one difference is the amount of defaul air craft. To my knowledge there is no difference in scenery views.
Answer question two Fstraffic is not a bad little program it will put a lot of traffic in the area you will more than likely have to set your traffic slider to at least 75% to see most of it, If you do not have a fast system this could result in low frame rates.
You might also want to check out projectai as they have a ton of different ai files. 8)

If you've got FS2002 Standard, and you're looking to upgrade, I'd skip Pro and go for FS9.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved every minute I logged in 2k2 Pro, but at this point, the only sims I have installed are FS9 and CFS2.

Pro is great, but there isn't THAT much more than standard.

Ummmm. excuse my shocking ignorance, but I've never seen FS9. I have heard of it a lot on here, but I've no idea who made it or what it is or anything. :-[ :-[ :-[. I couldn't bring myself to ask before! Is it in PC World and other computer shops?

Ben FS9 is the more popular name for Flight Simulator 2004, as this is the ninth version of FS they have released ;)

Hi Ben,

Don't feel bad-  I've been using MS flight simulations for several years and have seen FS9 referred to in lots of forums and I didn't know either.  Like you I was afraid to ask a "dumb" question.  Thank you for asking it.  I'm sure there were lots of us out there in the same boat.
