I have been using Xplane on a Mac with RCJoy connection to my radio with great views and action from the flight sim. I like it better than G2 on a PC as it actually can mimic the atmospheric conditions that are downloaded from the web at real time. I use the external view rather than the tower view as the plane gets kind of small quickly as it travels away. I have modified an Extra 300L to have 3D flight characteristics of my 37% model with the higher thrust to weight ratios and larger control surfaces. Xplane is the only sim that you now can get rated flight time for your (full scale) pilot's license as the modeling of the flight characteristics are so real. Try it as the sim only costs $34.
