"Is limited and a bit buggy, but mostly runs well."
Version: Flight Simulator Screensaver 1.1
Pros
Good 3D screensaver where you see & hear some F-16 fighter jets flying around. You can even take control of them with the keyboard arrow keys. Sound effects can be turned off and other settings adjusted, too. The free version has a nag window.
Cons
Some small bugs, like one camera view makes the airplane invisible, but the flame from the jet engine visible, so you just see a firey dot flying around. The support website seems way outdated, like 3 years or more, and no mention of an update. I've also noticed that when I sleep my laptop with the screensaver running, it wakes up with an OS error message from the screensaver. There are a lot of settings for the screensaver, but very few that I need. For example, it's got sliders to adjust clouds and ground detail, as well as music. I don't need music from my screensaver; it'd just annoy other people, since I've left my computer.
Another quirk is that it offers buildings (really just gray boxes of varying height) but the rest of the landscape is forest and valleys and lakes. So in the middle of a forest, you might see a 70-storey building. No roads, so why is that building there?Summary
They want $25 for the full version, but I'm not convinced that it's worth it. I guess it would be nice to support the author and show appreciation for what's been done, but this thing looks a bit unfinished and there's no indication of another update coming, and the expanded functionality of the full version looks like just a few more aircraft, and none that I care about. Otherwise, this screensaver compares favorably with "Flight Over the Sea 3D" and "Canyon Flight 3D" with the added bonus of being able to take control of the jets (to take control, press F1 in screensaver mode, for direction panel, then F1 to dismiss it and press A to toggle control of the jet. TAB to switch jets) That's pretty fun!

"mediocrity sums it up!"
Version: Flight Simulator Screensaver 1.1

Looks contrived and unreal. I don't like it

I expect to see height in feet above sea level, not alien metres and speed in knots ( = 1.15 miles an hour.)
Summary
Singularly unimpressive.

Version: Flight Simulator Screensaver 1.1
Pros
Clear detailed graphics. Smooth running. Optional view selection. Easy understood help screen on key/command definitions. Good selection of setup options and controls for a time unlimited trail version download.
Runs and looks great on a 22 in widescreen,1.2GHz processer, Radeon 9600 pro/256mb video.
Cons
Pitch of jet sound is flat. It does not vary with ascent/descent.
Screensaver locked up one time while exceeding mach I.
Pitch control sluggish and limited on manual control of jet.
No rudder control available.
The ground graphics could use some moving objects like autos, ships, windmill generators etc.
