After debuting at the number one slot and then spending a few weeks at number 4, Flight Simulator 2004 is back to the top of the list as the best selling PC game for 8/24 - 8/30 according to industry analyst NPD Techworld. The complete top 10:1. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: Century Of Flight2. Tron 2.03. The Sims: Superstar Expansion Pack4. The Sims Deluxe5. Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Expansion Pack6. Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection7. Madden NFL 20048. Diablo 29. Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided10. The Sims: Unleashed Expansion PackFS2004 has handily beaten out even very popular titles such as The Sims, the newly release Tron 2.0, and Star Wars Galazies, which currently claims over 500,000 players.Although there are some who would wish to sanction Microsoft due to real or perceived bugs in FS2004, the thruth is that strong sales results and the resulting user base and profitability for this product are a very, very good things for our hobby!

Wow!That some compititon it has there?:)

Excellent news - though the Tron 2.0 game is really cool...http://saltydogfly2.avsim.net/images/avsim_sig.jpg"Ah, the Luftwaffe - the Washington Generals of the History Channel." - Homer Simpson

Hopefully this will mean that Microsoft considers a patch important enough. The game needs one badly because of the autogen bug. Without a patch, it's just a semi-real time landscape/scenery generator.

Hmmm, I am waiting for a patch that will intergrate the Sims into MSFS, so that you your sim could buy an airline tickets and fly or start a career as an airline pilot. The virtual cabin and cockpits could then have fully simulated people in them. Course the cabins would have to include lavatory's and galleys for obvious reasons.

As i said before I hate the sims:-)

Well if you were number one without a patch why release one..a lot of folks still buy the thing and then get disappointed..Just a thought :-)

But then people wouldn't buy the next version of the product because they were so dissapointed. Of course this doesn't happen if you have monopoly on flightsims...That's what I don't like about MS. First, they put themselves in monopoly position, then when there are no alternatives, they start putting out crap products...:-outta Oh well, guess I should shut up, stop whining and write my own flightsim
