PC Simulators - Any Benefit?
Hi. I'm about to complete my PPL and after steering clear of them during this initial stage of training I was thinking that a PC simulator might be helpful on two fronts from here on. Firstly as a dry run before a new cross country to an unfamilial airfield (if the representation is good enough?), and secondly for instrument flight practice. Are the commercially available software options any use for these purposes? If so, which is best, Microsoft Flight Simulator X or X-Plane?
