Flight sims are good....
They have taught me quite a bit about flying but it's designed to be a "game" not a learning tool, which makes almost everything simple to understand. You don't learn in-depth about everything
FS2004 inspired me to chase my dream of hopefully becoming a successful airline pilot but you just get bored by looking at a cockpit made up of pixels!
Full Flight Simulators comepletely change that though.....
But as they are £11 million pound, what normal person like you & me has got one??????!!!!!!!!!!!
