FS2004 is alive and well at SCX

 Despite being over 20 years old, FS2004 still works fine on FSHub and contributes many hours to SCX's logbook.
I have been a fan of FS2004/FS9 since it released, and still have it installed on at least 2 of my PC's.  Below are some screenshots from a recent London Heathrow to Kennedy International flight in the 747-400, which included a go-around due to traffic on final approach.  For an old simulation, it still provides a great experience, especially on low-spec PC hardware, so if you are looking at getting into virtual aviation, but are on a very tight budget, FS9 could be your savior ;-)

FS9 was flown by keyboard, and remotely via Chrome Remote Desktop.   The host computer is a very old, very low spec small-form-factor desktop rescued from a skip, with only the on-board graphics, proving you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy the flightsim hobby.

Details of this flight are available as an FSHub PIREP
