Default RE: Flying Simulators

ARMODY,
Yes, FMS is very good (for the price, ie $0.00).
I don't know which version you use, but I used the Alpha version which is much much more realistic than the Beta version, it comes with probably only 2 good aircraft, the Pitts being my favourite and in my opinion very good for learning, ie. - if learning to fly is your main objective, and not just for a game.

It was a little difficult at first but didn't take long to master, and I was able to fly right away when I tried the real thing!
On my computer I had to use a higher resolution which made it work well, the only criticism I would make is the throttle has to be kept at two thirds or lower to be realistic.

Also I was able to use the cash (which I would have spent on a fancy sim) for a good engine!

Many people will reject it out of hand because it's not the latest cool thing, but if you want the cash to buy a good trainer instead, then this is a good way of getting it.
