What is this?
I received a fantastic simulator a few years ago from my family for my birthday. It has a set up with a realistic yoke and wheel, throttle, and rudder pedals similar to a full size Cessna 152. In addition, it has a control stick that can be used in place of the wheel for combat or aerobatic flight. In cockpit, follow mode, ground view, panoramic,
etc. are all viewing modes. Many, many, types of Real aircraft. Shoot landings with a 747 at Hong Kong, fly an F-16 into combat, etc. etc.
I used it several times and had a ball, as I am no longer able to fly the big ones due to health problems. it was fun, but I'd rather spend the time building and flying R/C.
I have no Idea what it is worth, my wife won't admit what they paid for it! - the box just says MS Flight simulator. If anyone can help me put a value on this great set-up I would like to sell it or trade it for some R/C
planes or engines.
Thanks,

RE: What is this?
If it says 'MS' it must be MicroSoft flight simulator. If it was a few years ago, it was probably the 2000 version. Software would be worth next to nothing, as there have been 2 or 3 newer flight sims released by Microsoft since then. A new yoke and rudder pedals would be worth around $100, used...probably cut that in half. Some specs on the hardware would be helpful.
