Depends on your system specs - with a lower spec pc it might have trouble running FS2004. However if your specs can handle it, then definately go for FS2004!!

Bah, I was hoping no one would say that.  lol  My original reply called for specs, but then I thought if people aren't going to mention them, I'm just assuming from now on that their specs will handle it.  lol

Yes, absolutly get FS2004. The lightling effecs alone are much better. It's just an all around better sim.

Although not absolutly nessary, I would strongly recomend installing the official MS patch.
Among other things, it adds some bridges and makes the sim run a bit smoother.
