Most realistic flight sim software, opinions?
I'm planning on eventually getting a PPL or a RPP, but right now I just want to start studying on my own first and get familiar with things so that when I actually begin the training I'll be able to move along quickly.
I was wondering if any of you has tried out different flight sim softwares and know which one is the most realistic and would help the most in actually learning to fly, rather than just being a "game" for entertainment.
I've heard microsoft flight sim is pretty good... is there much difference between the 2002 and 2004 versions, as far as helping one to learn goes? Are there other softwares out there you guys think is better for this purpose?
thanks a lot
