Do you have this addon ?

What makes it a 'game' ?

I've tried the ELITE demo, whose software is approved by the FAA for instrument training.

I didn't see any difference between it or MS FS or X-plane.

Btw,there is an interesting article in this month's FLYING mag. Peter Garrison talks about mdeling his homebuilt using X-plane. He says that the flight model comes very close to the results that he got from 'real' aerodynamic modeling programs (LOFTSMAN, CMARC).
