The Mustang gets to flex its high-speed muscle and agility in simulations of real air races. The Hornet, of course, comes with several carrier takeoff and landing scenarios to practice and even some fun intercept missions. Acceleration comes with more than 30 new ones to put the new aircraft through their paces.

The new aircraft are a hoot to fly, but the missions are what help FSX bring the adventure of flying to life. All look and fly well in Acceleration, and each comes with some historical background in the informative online reference material. Joining the Hornet is the North American P-51D Mustang and the Augusta-Westland EH-101 helicopter. Microsoft has generally done an excellent job of rendering the basic aircraft included in each release of Flight Simulator, and the planes in this expansion pack uphold that tradition.

Sim fans could always add the F/A-18 to Flight Simulator through third party add-ons, and Flight Simulator has typically come with an aircraft carrier you could practice landing on, but Acceleration puts them both together natively for the first time in the product. NavyвЂ™s multirole fighter is the headlining aircraft in Acceleration. The second is the simulationвЂ™s new expansion pack, titled Acceleration ($30, requires Microsoft Windows XP/Vista and an installed copy of Flight Simulator X, 2Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB hard drive space, 128MB DirectX 9вЂ“compliant video card, DVD-ROM drive, Microsoft, Speaking of Hornets, the U.S.

This patch, available free from Microsoft (at fixes some bugs and improves performance, although FSX is still a hog and needs a lot of computing power to run smoothly. Like the aforementioned aircraft, FSX has seen revisions since its 2006 release. Things like mission awards add excitement and give the virtual pilot incentives to play. The latest revision does more for the intangibles of simulation than previous revisions. The tenth version, Flight Simulator X (FSX), brings the usual incremental enhancements to all the productвЂ™s features, but is most notable for the work put into improving scripted missions. Flight Simulator continues to see improvements to its core features of graphics, flight modeling and world modeling.

The title is approaching 27 years as a successful software product, longer even than Windows, the companyвЂ™s flagship offering. The leading exception is MicrosoftвЂ™s Flight Simulator. Their lives are ephemeral, and only rare exceptions live multiple years. The Chance Vought F4U Corsair, the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark and the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet are but a few examples of designs that suffered teething problems before refinements helped them reach their true potential.ДЇlight simulations lack the longevity of a production aircraft, and therefore are unlikely to see the revisions that can keep them on a path of improvement. Perhaps an evaluation of an airplane is less about the plane than it is about its maturation.

A new expansion pack revs up MicrosoftвЂ™s Flight Simulator.
