Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 in the UK

This is the program you should try if you have a 750 Mhz Pentium III or faster PC. I run it on my 600Mhz Intel P3, with a Hercules Geforce 2 Mx running Windows 98se. I fly around the UK, with freeware, commercial and shareware scenery, most of which you can find at flightsim.com. I know Fs2000 hasn't got a good UK default scenery database, but with a few downloads you'll be amazed at how quickly you can recuperate.

Here are some in-flight screen shots taken at various locations in the UK. If you like the colour of the water ( which I redesigned myself because Microsoft's water just seems too lush for the muddy UK ) you can download the file to change the default water texture to UK water here. If you don't like it, revert to the original water here. Unzip the files and follow the instructions. For comments on my FS2000 gallery below, move the mouse over the picture for a description.
