What makes Flight Simulator X better than the previous version?
Category None
Well I've already mentioned that the graphics are better in FSX, but for most people they won't be able to see them, so what can still make this a worthwhile upgrade, where you may have worse graphics but a better experience than the previous version? As with many things it's people. FSX has a new option for Multiple players, where you can join other people, sit in your plane and watch them fly around you, listen to air traffic control (other people that are in the place acting as ATC), you can even sit in the same plane as someone else and assist them, you can navigate for example whilst they do the flying, or perhaps you'd like to do the radio work whilst they fly, it doesn't really matter, with the multi player capabilities FSX goes to a whole new level of realism for a simulator.
If you're wondering how FSX looks, there are a few videos on Google Video and here's a funny, although cheesy Microsoft Video showing the multiplayer idea
