I know I'm probabaly in a majority of one on this thread, but I think MSFS is pretty appalling as a serious training aid, I fail to see what it is I can get out of it. There are much better, albeit, much more expensive packages out there. However, when you add up what you would probably need in terms of hardware and extra addons for FS, I doubt there is much in the cost between the serious packages and MSFS.
