Description from the packaging.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a highly accurate simulation of flight in a single-engine aircraft. Its working instruments, panoramic out-the-window graphic views and real-time flight conditions will give you the excitement of flying in a real plane.

Adaptable to any interest or ability level, Flight Simulator can be flown in an easy flight mode that is specifically tailored for beginners. After you master the fundamentals of flight, you can move to the reality mode and fly in even more realistic situations.

Flight Simulator gives you full use of the flight instruments and controls. This instrumentation is so accurate that it meets the FAA regulations (part 91.33) for day and night, visual and instrument flight conditions.

And Flight Simulator includes over 20 different airports with varied and highly detailed terrain at each location. You can alter environmental factors like the weather, time of day and season to simulate the same flight conditions a pilot faces.

For a change of pace, you can choose the "British Ace" game mode and transform your flight world into World War I Europe. You'll fly across enemy lines, shoot down enemy fighters, hit bombing targets and try to keep yourself from being shot down.
