FS2004 made me a professional pilot today. Back on my teenage days, my family computer struggled with FSX and FS9 was the only way out... and boy, I'm so glad of the hours I logged on FS9 from mastering landings with Rod Machado to performing ultra-realistic commercial flights using add-ons such us the all-mighty Level D 767 (still missed to this day), the Ifly 737 NG, FS2Crew...
FS2004 reassured me that my career inclination was professional flying. When I signed up for flight training, I couldn't thank flight simulation and the community enough to help me find my passion. A passion that I wouldn't have found where I lived, where aviation is scarce and limited to the rich.
I'm still a simmer and tried all mainstream flight simulator. I settled with P3D v4 for now, where I fly airplanes I hope to fly one day and practice drills on airplanes I had the honour to fly, but FS2004 has always a big corner in my heart. I'm glad to see that FS2004 has impacted so many people's lives, and that it still going strong.
FS2004, thank you
