Why did you upgrade from FS2002?

[JBaymore]

Because it's there.

I mainly got it for the sceney,weather, and the ATC. I don't care for the older aircrafts I wish ms would spend the money on making modern fighters and or planes for it rather than old peices of junk that I just delet out of my files.

I bought it for the same reason Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Mt Everest  --

"Because it was there....."

Other - I didnt. FS9 is my first commercial aviation sim. I was a combat sim veteran

Other:
Maybe i'm they only one but FS 2004 is the first of the FS series that i bought and played.
I started out playing the CFS series but found i rather enjoyed the island hopping done on the Zone.
So FS 2004 seemed like a good idea at the time to pick it up.

I bought FS 2004 because "it was there"...!

I've got FS '98, FS 2000, FS 2002, and FS 2004, and in my opinion the most impressive up-grade was from FS 2000 to FS 2002.

FS 2004 incorporated a few changes of marginal interest such as the weather, but I find that the clouds  are real frame rate hoggers, and are inferior in appearance to the more realistic, whispy clouds in FS 2002.
There are also many add-ons to vary the weather and water effects for FS 2002.

I find the ATC quite adequate in FS 2002 and together with FS Navigator works fine for me.... ...!

The default aircraft included in FS 2004 are of little interest as they can be supplied by the various designers out there, (many thanks!).... ...!

So...
For these, and many other reasons, my FS 2004 sits sulking in amongst my pile of games programs, while I have fun with good-old FS 2002, it's excellent frame rates with everything wound up to the max, (autogen, weather, ATC, etc...), and all my many add-ons for it... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul...a very happy bunny, FS 2002 user... ...!

...Who knows what FS 2006 will bring... .... ...?

I think the "because it's there" crowd should be placed under "Peer pressure" meself!

Fs 2002 and professinal edition were jusf a bunch of ****n' c**p

[logjam]

Confucious, he say, man who talk out of rear orifice, only see cr*p  ;D

[Wing Nut]

Because it's FS2004 that's why!  Do you need another reason?  Why do you buy a new car every five years when you could make do with the old one?  

[jordonj]

I actually started with FS2004

Just what I was thinking. You beat me to it... ...!
