I just bought this sim and am packing it back up to send back tommorrow. It does not have an idle up, so you can not learn to do any type of upside down stuff. It does have really cool graphics, but as far as flying it is not too close. It was kinda hard to get settled down enough to fly, and I can fly my helis pretty good. Don't get me wrong you will be able to learn some of the basics like hovering and forward flight, just don't expect too much more.
