The only drawback is that it's impossible to read the instruments for the Jet Ranger. In Las Vegas, you can see the names of the hotels. The Forbidden City is cool too. I have no problem with stuttering graphics and you really dont need that great of a PC to run it. Make sure you have a 3d-accelerator.
Graphics are awful without one.
The sound is pretty good. This game is a very good simulation of the real experience, i have flown a cessna 152 and think that the game is as close to the real thing as you can get on a pc, but it still is not like the real thing. If u like to fly crazy shoot thing down and crash alot, get falcon 4. But u can download alot of scenery packs and aircraft that put the originals to shame. I write more when I have trade it whit the stick.
