@@JETZcorp Many such cases, a lot of new truckers seem to have got into the profession due to an interest in "driving big machines" that comes from aviation and such
Nice to see this video, this game gave me years of fun! I dont miss it though and I happily threw out FS9 and FSX when MSFS landed. I do however acknowledge these old games have features the new one really needs. View hotkeys. Instant replay. Missions. Good flight lessons Rod Machado and the Kings are unbeatable).
@@EWormMusic FS2004 was the first sim for me and it's very solid and performs very well. I still have a bunch of old addons for it but I haven't gotten myself to install them yet though. I do have MSFS and it's amazing especially for VFR flying, just requires a lot of resources from your computer. Might make some videos of it but I'm not sure if my frame rates are good enough for an enjoyable video.
Proud to say that i still play it to this day, all default, only a few scenery and aircraft addons, but the navigation data is all default. When you start flying flight sims in an all default way, it becomes lovely, i love it and enjoy it so much.
Nostalgia 😢 weekends for me was Takeoff from Sidney AP engaged, sleep most of the cruising, wake up for descend and landing in LA. Thousands of hours all around the world.
Nice video! I’m just starting out with FS9, mostly because it’s pretty much the only flight sim my laptop can handle. I am thoroughly impressed, it’s hard to believe this came out in 2003! All of the newer sims include copious amounts of eye candy, but can’t hold candle to some of the features in a 2 decade old flight simulator…
Wow its been many years 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 this was my childhood game I remember playing it with my nerdy cousin he was nice I remember getting confused with the controls
I remember that plane. Not exactly very realistic since it didn't have an FMS or VNAV (or basically the entire overhead panel for that matter), but as a kid I really felt like I was an airline captain.
I used to play Flight Simulator 5.0 (from 1993) a ton, but for whatever reason didn't play later versions until FS2020. It probably has to do with not having a very powerful GPU all those years. Anyway, this 2004 version looks very pretty considering it's 20 years old now!
I miss the American Pacific and the Ford Tri motor which came with it, I did get FSX Steam edition but I downloaded 777, 787, and Airbus A350 so I don't only have 747 for a wide body planes.
As a follow up to my last comment, I recently got into FS2020. Amazing how unrefined and buggy the newer sim feels compared to this one. Maybe it's just the perception of 10+ years in between me playing the two games.
I have an Asus GTX 1070 with all graphics settings at max in the simulator. I doubt you can achieve the same performance with an integrated graphics card.
I remember that as a kid, i was always frustrated everytime i see a McDonnell Douglas taxiing next to me, since this is aircraft was not an option to pick in the sim
Great game. I used to play this 20 years ago but today its all catch 22. Windows 7 can't handle fs2004, 737 can only be played with 04 , newer 747 addon can only be played woth FSX and not on xp edition and.the windows 10 can handle one of my FS games but there's a scratch and they are not sold anywhere. Im soon going to get Fiber connection, New computer Steam and after some 10 000 dollars later I may be able to do some trans atlantic flights again.
