or in other words prepare me to fly non-trainers

FMS to be exact. that is the only flight sim i have, i have the USB transmitter for it and i dont want to buy another flight sim or a trainer. not up to spending the money
This may not be the hobby for you...

Just kidding of course but most people spend a LOT of money in this hobby. However the simulator(s) have save me a lot of money in crashed planes. Even after you learn to fly they are great for practicing that new manouver and committing the muscle memory in your thumbs before trying it out at the feild. I feel simulators help a lot in this hobby. I am recently assited in the instruction of one student that used a sim and am working with a new that does as well. The first is soloed and the second is progressing quickly. Both are flying H9 P-51 PTS's and these are ideal for them as that plane "progresses" into a good second plane after the training aids are removed and the prop is replaced with a 11x6 two blade.
