The Flight Simulator team commemorates both the centennial and its own 20-year history with the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight. The game allows aviation enthusiasts to experience history at the controls of historic aircraft, such as Charles Lindbergh's Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, the Douglas DC-3, and the world's first successful powered aircraft, the Wright Flyer. New engaging features such as interactive multimedia provide a wealth of historical information on the planes that shaped aviation history and the pilots who flew them. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight also introduces an updated, dynamic weather system, improved Air Traffic Control functions, and 3D interactive cockpits, as well as 15 modern aircraft.
