just intalled FS One late last night and played around with it for about an hour. It installed easily and performs great even without the first patch installed. I am using the TacCon and it calibrated with out any issues and works great. I do not have much experince with any other sims, but I do a few of the aircraft included in the sim and they are very accurate to the real thing. I am very happy with the way it is running, and I think that it will help me greatly. Oh yeah, and some people have been complaining about issues with the helis. Mine work fine and fly great, just wondering what the problems are. If anyone is intrested I'm running a 2.8ghz P4, 1gig ram, and a ATI 9800 Pro 128mb graphics card. Also, thanks for the great support.
