in my opinion, sims are great. it will really help u get the right stick inputs for the direction the plane is in. i have trained a few guys who had lots of time on the sim and they pick it up quicker than someone who hasn't. i fly on my sim at least 4 to 5 days out of the week in the winter. i wont say which one of the sims is the best because i haven't tried all of them. u won't regret buying one, it is something that u can use for begining and for practising 3d in the future.[8D]
