Whats the best Flight Sim to get.

Just been looking at this.

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/1124935/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-X-Deluxe-Edition/Product.html

That's what I've just got and I'm very impressed.

It all depends what you're after. Personally, I'm not so keen on the shoot -em up type sims, as I prefer civil airliners. Using this sim you can go out and purchase (what I may well do - see link above) a very complex aircraft. A friend of mine always starts his sim in a "cold and dark" scenario. He has to fire up all the electrical circuitry in his airbus, start the APU, go through all the pre-flight checks, program the flight director with waypoints, and so on. His daughter flew to Sharm-el-Sheik recently and, at the same time, he flew on the sim and "arrived" within a minute of his daughter in real time. Don't think I could ever get into it that much as I have a real life to lead  ;), but it is VERY absorbing. I believe the RAF and many others use MS flightsim in training operations. It is very realistic, and great fun.  :y

You'll end up going the way of a couple of guys at the gliding club. 3 DLP projectors and the front half of an old glider fuselage with the controls hooked up to a PC, all in a darkened room.  8-)

To its' credit, it's very realistic, and we've had some success training pilots using it. (one of whom went solo after only a handful of flights in a "real" glider).

This film was all created on FSX. It's stunning, and amusing, but must have taken a huge amount of production.
