Question - flight sims
Afternoon,
I'm looking to buy a flight sim, but really don't know where to start.
- Am CPL student with 140 hours
- Have an iMac
- Am something of a techno-bimbo
- Budget, around $500
Would appreciate any advice....

Hi ... I have got X-Plane v8 and found that I really did need to get the rudder controls ... it makes it a lot easier to steer on the ground and general flight and landings a lot easier too. I bought the CH-Products rudder pedals on eBay for about $105... they are a couple of hundred new.

And do I need the rudder pedals and throttle quadrant?

yes for flight yoke and rudder pedals. An important piece of equipment is the Track IR (it allows you to look around the cockpit as IRL)
if you are going to do some VFR flying around Oz, I highly recommend the Orbx software (makes Aust look like Aust!).
