This isn't really an Engineering question more rather an an aero question. What is a good Flight Simulator other than the real thing, (commercially, ranging between $100- $1,000). Anyone have ideas (for PC)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I was told that the Microsoft FS is very good.
Myself, don't have time for such things. :wink:
 
I have mic. FS 2004 PE (professional edition.. its pretty cool, they have expansions for it) but i was wondering if there were any better?.. wasnt gonnamention it so ppl would be unbiased but it seems that a good one to keep with,
