twistedenginestarter, mate, thanks for post. I went out bought MSFS2000 plus fancy joystick. I have just got a new PC for work, so its super doopa. I had a little trouble trimming at first, but got the gist of it and off I flew. Didn't land too well, crashed actually, pretty much dead actually. But I did navigate from an airport to another. I am keen to practice map navigation, so Im thinking the secret is to not have the GPS window in the corner!!
Many Thanks for all replies. MSFS2000 excellent.
