Simulators

[Davidbriggs30]

Are there any other realistic Flight Simulators for the PC, other than Microsoft flight Simulators, and is there anywhere where you can get add ons for microsoft flight simulators?

I can recommend X-Plane.

How do you install an Aircraft after you have downloaded one?

[Pub User]

I think there's some 'how to ... ' info given on the site, but basically you 'explore' the FS2002 folder in your program files, and paste the new aircraft into the 'aircraft' folder.

D..30, RC Simulations (no connection) are a switched on Family business which have answered just about every query I've ever had regarding simulation. Once you make a purchase with them they seem only too happy to talk and advise on simulation to any degree. (Good email response time)

I have X-plane and Fs2004 and there are pros and cons for both. I use both for differing scenario. (I'm rotary)

X-plane for handling and Fs 2004 for scenery. Get the Photo scenery and the Mesh software. (applies to both products) and if you have a decent set of controls then you are just about as good as you can get on a PC.

Could try Orbiter (free) for something a bit "out of this world "
