Based on others posts the benefit of FS2004 over FS2002 is marginal
(but not zero), which I offset against sending a message to MS
(hopefully I am one of many) that I don't want to keep a CD in my
drive just so I can start the game. Yes there are patches (I used one
for FS2000), but they must be found and installed and after a patch
the new patch version (if applicable) must be found and installed.
While I used to be a computer programmer, I now see myself as a pilot
and don't wish to spend my time trying to get around a short coming in
the software that should not have been there in the first place.



If that is your _only_ reason, then that's is silly. Get a no cd
patch or shudder live with a CD in the tray or laying nearby. I
could understand a catalogue of reasons, but a key CD alone? Bah.

FS2002 does not require a disk to play.

Yet FS2000 and FS2004 require the key-disk to play

Which is why I have FS2002 with no plans to go to FS2004.
