Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X as of now.

i would say FSX with PMDG planes downloaded from precisionmanuals website. has an almost fully functioning FMC on its 747 package. have a friend who flies 744s and he was quite impressed with it.

Xplane and MSFS (all recent versions) are mildly useful for the most basic skills, but incomplete from a training/learning point of view at best and misleading at worst. You would be far better off ditiching those and baggage that comes with them and get a copy of RANT Oddsoft Ltd or if you really want to practice your scan as well as interpreting the instruments the ELITE Simulation Solutions - The PCATD Leader is the best available IMHO.
