Thanks Daz!

I too have tried the FMS simulator and was highly unimpressed with it's ability to simulate the real thing (partly because I was flying with a joystick NOT a RC controller).

I have tried the Realflight that was installed on a PC at our local hobby store and thought it did a good job of simulation. Unfortunately it's difficult to get time to play with it at the store due to it's popularity with the kids! But my overall impression was it's the right tool for the job (of practicing IMAC sequences)!
