Hello everyone,
Another simulation package to look at is X-Plane, which you can get at
X-Plane .It uses a far more accurate flight model than any of the MS flight sims. In fact there are a few aircraft companies using it for testing, and the FAA has approved it for use in full motion simulators. The computer requirements aren't as high as MSFS either.
As a bonus it also includes the physics models for flying on Mars. Not that that will help anyone pass their flight test.
