What I meant was that sitting in front of a PC wasn't like the real experience where feel is everything - FS relies only on visual cues

The dodosim package is a big leap forward over stock FS - torque yaw modelling is pretty good. I only forked out the forty quid to buy it last week and haven't had the time to explore Vortex Ring, LTE etc. The engine start procedure modelling is very good however.

From what I've seen of non-motion commercial sims, the one at Helitech '05 (not sure who's?) and a Mil-8/17 one in Russia, the dodo gives them a fair run for their money!

Cheers
