yeah, I owned Flight Sim 2000, which my then computer could just about handle, and had a bit of fun with it but honestly my joystick wasn't up to much and I was only eleven so I wasn't exactly the best pilot and my concentration was all over the place. eventually the disk got so scratched I had to chuck it but I miss it so. Couple years ago, though, I wanted to buy it again but had to settle for '98 which was nothing compared to 2000. Hardly play it anymore, but just got new laptop and am just about to purchase 2002, but I'm edging closer to getting 2004. Which one do you have, do you recomend 2002 or '04? I just don't know if my comp can handle 2004 well enough to be enjoyable (P4M 2Ghz, 512 Ram, 32mb vram). Plus, I need a new joystick (I own a cheap logitech attack 3) and was wondering if you had any reccomendations, I want the original sidewinder but i can't find it anywhere!! Anyway, thanks in advance and, Happy Flying!
