This review is from: Around the World (PC) (CD-ROM)
This is a great idea for an add on and the perfect way to explore some of the best scenery FSX or FS9 has to offer, gives a real sense of purpose to flights rather than wandering around aimlessly as I often do. It's also a nice touch providing a classic aircraft (the Lockheed Electra 10E) in which to do the tour, evoking a sense of the great pioneering flights of the thirties. You can undertake the series of journeys in any order and with any plane in your hanger, but in my opinion to enjoy them at their best do not choose anything too fast.
