As Real As It Gets - Experience the excitement of
trains on your PC
Take the realism and excitement of flying to a
new level with Flight Simulator 2002. Building on two decades of expertise, the
Flight Simulator team worked with aviation experts to create exciting new
planes, dramatic effects and detailed landscapes - all so real that you'll swear
you're in the cockpit.
A highly realistic aviation simulation-the best-selling PC flight simulation
ever produced. FS2002 introduces many exciting features, including interactive
air traffic control (ATC) and auto-generated scenery, plus challenging new
aircraft and stunning visual enhancements that truly make Flight Simulator 2002
"As real as it gets."
12 Aircraft
Flight Simulator 2002 includes a wide variety of aircraft for you to fly-from a
new Cessna 172S single-engine trainer and a Caravan floatplane to the Boeing
747-400 jumbo jet. You can splash down in a lake, hover in the Bell 206B
JetRanger III helicopter, or practice aerobatics in the Extra 300S.

Interactive Air Traffic Control (ATC). Ask for takeoff clearance. Get
vectors for an instrument approach. Hear other traffic as you fly. ATC adds a
new dimension to Flight Simulator.
AutoGen Scenery: As you fly above cities, towns, farmland, and dramatic
landscapes, Flight Simulator adds buildings and vegetation appropriate to the
terrain below. Office buildings, factories, homes, farmhouses, and trees
smoothly blend in at the horizon and fill the entire area with detail that adds
unprecedented depth and reality to Flight Simulator.
Crowded Skies: While the auto-generated 3D objects fill in details below,
a new artificial intelligence system generates air traffic around and between
airports. You're no longer alone in the sky.
Floatplane Flying: With the famous Cessna Caravan utility aircraft on
floats, you can take off and land from lakes, rivers, and bays all over the
world.
Enhanced Visual Effects: Stunning visual effects that made Combat
Flight Simulator 2 so exciting are now in FS. You'll see contrails from
high-altitude jets, dramatic lighting effects, and puffs of smoke from tires at
touchdown.
Enhanced Virtual Cockpits. If you have a 3D graphics card, you can fly
many FS2002 aircraft from a new perspective-3D cockpits with working
instruments.
Flight Analysis: Pilots working to improve their skills and
enthusiasts looking for new challenges and bragging rights can check the
precision of their flying. Maps and graphs show how well you maintained course
and altitude.
More than 21,000 airports plus Jeppesen NavData database. Flight
Simulator 2002 includes almost every airport in the world, from major
international terminals to small-town airstrips. The authoritative, worldwide
Jeppesen NavData database includes VORs, NDBs, airways, intersections, and
approach waypoints.
Moving map and basic Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS provides
point-to-point navigation with constant position updates on a moving map, plus
ground speed, course to the next waypoint, and other information.
Graphical Flight Planner. Plot your route from departure to
destination on an interactive map that features automatic or manual routing via
great circle or airways.
Updated and improved weather system. Download current weather reports
provided by Jeppesen, and Flight Simulator 2002 automatically re-creates current
conditions worldwide.
New Lessons and Challenging Flights. The addition of a floatplane and
other aircraft opens many possibilities for engaging activities. Be a bush pilot
in Alaska, fly a 747, or earn an instrument rating in the Cessna Skyhawk. We've
added lessons and flights that help new users get into FS for the first time and
challenge experienced FS pilots.
Exclusive content from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).
Student pilots and seasoned pros can tap into articles from AOPA Flight Training
and AOPA Pilot magazines.
