Have to agree with GJB. Flight Sim ok, but u may find yourself fixing your eyes on the instruments too much....you want to be looking outa that screen!...only difference between '02-'04......the price!IMHO.For the professional training: found that R.A.N.T is great for the IR. Got 'On top' which is ok for a bit of CPL/IR consolidation.(PA28R) Good luck withyour PPL.:ok
