Another nice thing about a commercial sim like Realflight is all the options you have to do things like slow time and enlarge planes to double size or so... helps a lot when learning hovering or helicopters... oh ya, helicopters in FMS are SOOOO unrealistic... anyone can fly a heli in that with a minute or two of time... move to another more realistic sim and you'll be crashing right and left! However, I do have to say its cool that someone HAS written a freeware sim that has some value.

Also, the realflight USB controller is great but now that I have a Hitec computer radio I use that and thats nice as well... but the best thing is for times like the winter when its too damn cold outside to fly and being able to fly anytime on the PC.. almost as good. Flying over the internet is kinda cool too. Some here have dismissed its value but I think its kinda cool to see what others are doing and maybe pick something up.

Ok, so I won't tell you about the flying naked... nothing like torque rolling in the buff... hahahhaah
