Personally, I don't play it anymore (outdated), but I want to see if anyone still does

Before I formatted the last timeI actually had it installed just to see performance rise  :P 100+ FPS with sliders maxed..go figure...

after format only put fs9 back on...don't think I even have cfs3 on my pc anymore...

I have it for alot of the planes I miss from it. I use CFS2 and FS9 mainly though

My hard drives are large enough to have all of them, Flight Unlimited II, Pro Pilot 2, FS '98/2000/2002/2004, on there ready to play... ...!

It's fun comparing them all now and again... ...!

.....and Gunship... ...!

FS2000 all the way!  8)

My comp is too old to handle Fs2002 (Never tried it mind)
But hopefully getting a brand spacking new comp in the summer, and then it will be Fs2004 all the way.

I play it because I like the high FPS and mouse as yoke feature.

I've been playing it alot lately.  Also CFS1 and FS2000.  My good computer broke so I'm having to play these to get my "fix" till I get it repaired or get a new one.

These old sims are still fun.  They were once state of the art.

I still fly FS98 most of the time. In my cockpit, that is. Software development is another story, has to work with all versions.
I have created a few planes that really fly by the book, and I did not want to recreate them for later versions.
The big improvement of later versions is of course scenery, and the looks of your plane. Controls, panels, you can do it all with FS98 and do not need a heavy PC for all your wideview screens.
Being inside the pit, I do not care much about the looks of the plane as long as it flies OK.
Scenery - I use Europe1 among others. There is enough to get out there, and I do not fly close enough to church towers to actually enjoy their ornaments. Once I am close enough to the ground to appreciate details, I have my hands full landing the plane.

i play it when i am at Mexico ( i got a pc there, and i am too lazy to instal 2004 ) But i really enjoy it, also, it is the only FS That my pc's are able to handle... What!!?

Yeah, I've still got it. It's like taking a kid fishing.
Teach 'em the basics and then show 'em the REAL FUN. Besides if they really like it, I  ;) give them a copy.

If your PC handles well FS2000, then it is bound to handle FS2002 even better.

i love to play it even tho i have 04. becuase i can put all settings to max!

Yes, I do still play FS 98.  I even have a copy of the _old_, version 4.0, where the _floppy disk_ says "For IBM PC's and compatibles".  I know, I'm ancient.  But for the features I like, its what I can afford.  For example, on the V 4.0, I get "standard" (for the time) flightsim,  plus a crop dusting scenario, a "war game" type scenario, multiplayer capability, and I can design my own planes.  So, if anybody knows where I can do multiplayer stuff with my version 4.0, please let me know.

Nothing is better than a classic. Most of the newer sims and other games may have better graphics (eye candy), but most lack the great game play of a classic. Sooooo.. I still play Flight Simulator '98, Doom, Doom 2, The Incrediable Machines, Empire Deluxe, etc, etc. What can I say, IMO nothing is better than a classic.
