In this video I'm going to install FS2004 or FS9 A Century of Flight on my Windows 10 PC for the first time. It's been a long time since I have last tried FS2004. I'm going to try it using a clean start without any addons, just to experience the nostalgia by reliving the memories of when I started this sim for the very first time about 12 years ago!

MY SPECS:

- Windows 10® Pro 64-Bit
- Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.60 GHz
- 16 GB DDR4 RAM
- Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8G with back plate

Got my private license in 1966 at the age of 19, Commercial certificate at the age of 25 using the VA bill as an Air Force veteran. I still fly every day on my FS2004 Simulator with great frame rates, been around the world 3 times on this sim...keeps me sharp in my old age...will be 72 tomorrow!!! Amazing with each flight how wonderful this simulator is. Thanks for posting AviationPro...John K. Jordan, USAF MSgt, Retired

I am still flying with FS2004 :) not joke...it is really stable, no bugs, much better framerates...

[steveokinevo]

Brings back a lot of fun memories flying FS2004. The online community and website was a great community to be part of.

[fulanitoflyer]

fs2004 with all the addons still looks OK

[TheAcousticCitizen]

I did all the lessons on FS2004. Vfr certificate, Ifr certificate. Taught me a lot of things.

[fernandolucario]

I love fs2004 and I have never stopped using it in all these years.

[LMDProductionsOfficial]

I never used FS2004 BUT I did use FS2000. I had many good memories on that sim. Of course that was back when I knew nothing about aviation.

I miss FS2000...

FS2004 is still my everyday use sim and the best one so far

[rdc]

I still use FS2004, I've build my cockpit around it and it gives me good framerates on two outside displays. And I think framerates are everything, not only the scenery runs better, but much more important, the handling is much better, you feel every tiny input you give on your yoke. And there are other benefits too, I own a couple of scenery's and never have issues with new updates of the sim and then finding out your sceneries no longer work and you have to update them too(often not for free). Sometimes I feel like nowadays people not really want a flight simulator but more of a scenery simulator. And your now showing the standard fs2004, but with the right addons the visual difference between fs2004 and P3d is not that huge I think.

FS 2004 was my favorite edition, the rest have been marginal upgrades, running patches on the same engine., I have since switched to Xplane 11

[dbvetter]

Brings back memories, I remember buying that the day it came out in July 2003.

[Unknown_Ooh]

This was the first ever flight sim i played when I was 9 or 10 years old and I put so many hours in this game. I also remember needing to use so many discs to install it 😂

[flyingdutchman]

Though there's new and more modern/outstanding Sims, FS 2004 is by far (for me that is), ''the simulator''. I still fly it. I bought it when he came out. I'm a flight simmer for more than 20 years and. FS 2004 still gives me a lot of pleasure to fly. Thanks for bring it alive.

[aviationdude]

nostalgia acuired my first flight sim i've now crosed over to the dark side of xplane11

Great Rod Machado. FS 2002 also had very complete and instructive documentation.

[generfeld]

The FS games kept getting better & better. I had 98, 2000, 2002, 2004. Each one got better features, textures, etc. Never had FSX (2006) since my PC could not handle it. FS 2004 and the 4 CD pack, was definitely nostalgia. Had lots of research knowledge/articles you could read also. I loved the virtual cockpit and scenery. Flying the Bell 206 JetRanger was always hard but fun to try and master. It seemed impossible to fully master though, even with only a joystick. In the early FS games, the Bell was nearly impossible to fly. I can't wait to get back into FS when I build a new PC. Great video, brings back memories of 1998-2005

I was introduced to FS2004 in the later months of '04, and just like you I logged hundreds of hours playing this sim. I still love it to this day!

[jayrermars]

I still use FS2004 today. With addons it's amazing. I have ifly 737 and run Ground Environment Pro, REX weather, lots of addon airports mainly from UK 2000 and use CH Yoke with pedals plus run virtual VDU on my mobile phone for a more realistic FMC. The best thing I like is using Track IR in VIRTUAL Cockpit. Just can't beat it.

[naamanpratt]

I still have FS2004 installed on my laptop and is the latest version I've ever owned. 💫
