To train pilots in the safe flying of a plane, including take-off
and landing, and navigation, and to test them under unusual circumstances such as a simulated engine failure.

Flightgear is an open source flight simulator you can download. Likewise, Google Earth provides a free flight simulator with choice of two aircraft: F-16 and SR22. The only good online in-browser flight sim I have seen so far is a google earth-based flight simulator that uses the google earth plugin. See related links below.
There is such a flight simulator game that offers a dogfight between two people or the computer. The game is called Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator. The game has fairly good reviews and is best played with a joystick.
You cannot play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 anywhere online. One, it would be illegal, and two, it needs to be installed on your computer.
You can't - They are two differing plateforms
You can install Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition up to two times, after that the product key won't work.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Deluxe Edition come with two discs. Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration (add-on) comes with one disc. Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition comes with three discs. No disc is needed while playing.
You need two to install it, but you don't need one to play.
They are available both in payware and freeware on many of the FSX forums and flight simulator sites

From Jabbawockeez9Flight simulator is technically not a game but a simulation - although it can be used as a game, its primary use is to simulate actual flight, to make it as real as possible - you can use it very simply by just loading an aircraft ready to take off, push all the controls forward, take off and just have fun but the real beauty of flight simulator is you can make it almost like the real thing - you can add scenery software that looks almost like the real thing down to every road and river, custom aircraft that teams of designers spend years to develop to fly and look ultra realistically - you can do all the preflighting, checklists, etc just like the real thing - and you can add a full array of controls and real gauges, multiple monitors etc for an incredibly true to life flying experience you could also get on the net and fly with others, in virtual worlds with live airtraffic controllers.Microsoft actually makes two flight sims, the normal one called flight simulator which is a simulator for general/civilian aviation - the other is combat flight simulator which is a military simulator that simulates air combat as close to reality as possible - when "played" to simulate real air combat it is a simulator, when used with rules, to accrue points and such it becomes a game"Flight Simulator" is a PC-computer game for playing at home. This game can be purchased for any computer and has great graphics for the more advanced computer. You load the software and fly the aircraft using your mouse and the keyboard. Or you can buy hardware that simulates the control yoke of a commercial airliner or small Cessna OR the pistol grip that simulates the grip on a fighter jet or helicopter. This type of hardware will require more powerful computer to use.Flight Simulator software allows you to practice (a) the basic flying skills and aerobatics and (b) navigation skills. I believe commercial pilots can use an advanced version of Flight Simulator with select lessons to allow them to keep up with their ratings.My favorite is practicing to soar in a glider by catching thermal up-drafts. I would think that this would be good practice if you ever thought about taking Soaring lessons someday.For more info on flight simulators see related links.Hope this answered your question(s)
Unfortunately, the Concorde does not come with Microsoft Flight Simulator X. There are two options however to get one. First option is try finding a freeware Concorde (try googling for it) or you can buy a payware option. there are two payware options out there now. one if from justflight and one other i cant remember, try goolging that also. hoped this helped! :)
