Well with all this snow and the Maule in for its annual I have taken the plunge and scored a deal on Ebay for a fancy supped up PC dedicated for flightsim software including yoke, rudder pedals, throttle and radio box. Never been much for gaming and have never tried Xbox or PS3 but figured I would give this MS Flightsim a try and hopefully can learn something. Thinking about doing my IMC rating and have bought and read a bunch of books and downloaded study material from ASA.
So if anyone has any pointers on the best way to do some home study elementary IFR training on Flightsim prior to starting proper training all suggestions/shortcuts are welcome.
Could you kindly share the deal link on eBay? Given that I have been a Mac user for the better part of my adult, it sounds like what you've found on eBay could be ideal for my needs especially if it is delivered with the associated PC hardware (that is dedicated for the sim software).
