I ve got Flight Sim 2000... Xmas present from my parents.
Thought it would be great as it has the Bell 206 helicopter on it but... I can't fly it to save my life, (I got over 200 hrs - 20 odd in the 206), and can fly the real thing without any problems!
I hoped I would be able to use it for the IR too but seem to spend too much time fiddling with the computer to use it constructively - guess you need all the add ons like rudder pedals, etc.
