Radio Nav. and Flight Simulators.

I have just completed my cross country qualifier. I am now looking forward to the radio nav. part of the PPL. Spent 30 mins. in ground school yesterday revising the principles from an earlier ground school course.

It all looks rather interesting, would it be useful to perform some exercises on my duaghters (honest) aged Microsoft 1998 Simulator ?

I did put the simulator to rest 12 months ago, as I found that it interfered with my ability to handle an aircraft for real, although I think I've outgrown this stage now.

I would be keen to gauge opinion on the subject, and would welcome suggestions for exercises. (Tracking/position fixing/intercepts).

In real life I fly a Cessna 172 with a King Bendix (whatever that means!).

Cheers !
