Sims that look like the aircraft

You also have to decide if you want to have the hours in your log book or not.

If you take a FNPT II IR you come out with relatively low hours logged.

The course I did at leeds Flying School was done in a FNPT 1 and the Cougar and it was cheaper than the others using FNTP II. Which if you do the CPL in the twin as well gets you over 50 hours in a MEP when combined with your MEP rating. I prefered to get the hours in my log book.

And although they are very good for learning the basics in, they don't simulate real wx and real ATC. The FNPT II might look sexy but as you going to be flying with a grey screen in front of you most of the time why do you need visuals?

I might add the FNPT 1 at leeds is very close to there cougar the flight model is spot on. The only differences are

1. The seat is to comfy in the sim

2. The instruments are a bit more spread out.

3. You don't freeze your but off if you sit in on someone elses session
