Unfortunatly, when it comes to simulators your probably get what you pay for. IEthe beter ones are more expensive. It does little good to learn how to fly a simulated plane that doesn't respond anything like a real model will. FMS is worth every penny you pay for it. It is free and worth nothing other than being a dificult game for the kids.

I tried it before starting with and instructor. Tried it after starting with the instructor but before getting my cettified pilot wings. Last year, I dug it out and updated all the software and tried it again. JUNK Idon't have a single plane in my hanger that handles anythign like any of the planes included with it.

There are a couple other Simulators though that are very good from reports from the field. Ikind of shut off the names as I was more interested in applying the three or four hundred to new planes. Iknow the Heli guys live by the simulator though, so you get what you pay for must apply to this type product.
