RE: A good simulator?
It was a good sim IN ITS DAY.
IMHO, The 2 best sims out there today are RealFlight G3 and AeroFly Pro. Both have their strong points and weak points.
I feel the planes in G3 fly much closer to what the actual model does than in AeroFly. On the other hand the graphics are much better in AeroFly than in G3.
As I said, both are good and both have positive and negative aspects to them.
