RE: Which Simulator?
I REALLY like Realflight G3.5
It has about 100 -150 aircrafts, about 30 fields, and you can adjust things on your plane as well as things like wind and wind speed. Its pretty accurate as far as how it feels. It has trainers to show you some arobatic stunts like hovering.
You can go online with it too and fly with others!
I really like this product!
