you are learning
Congratulations on the way you have handled the interchanges and absorbed some disappointing news and learned that not all air operators are the same. I think the respondents have measured up too. If it is any help I chose a sim for my niece and nephew and recommended a well-known US supplier who specialises in Boeing products. The reason? It was by far the best researched, documented and supported product. A lot of the time what we fly is determined by our employers, you can start out on one airframer and find yourself on another.
