Thanks for all your input chaps
I will toddle off now and look at the link kindly provided by JOE FBS. Again, apologies, I did know this had been covered before, but didn't have the time yesterday to go trawling through searching for the right threads.
So, the general consensus is I did the right thing buying RANT, but I ought to get MS FS too? Haven't ever looked at FS, although I believe they have it on the computer at my club. If I was to buy my own version, what accessories should I get with it?
