I have never felt the need to play with flight simulators but since getting my IFR status I can see some real benefits. Currently I am using the xplane system and I am looking for a good RV model. I downloaded a Coranda (sp?) Bonanza and it seems to fly well with similar speeds to RVs. However the panel is older technology and I would really like to find something that mimics my 4500 AFS/430W combination. Any suggestions would be welcome. I am running a MAC system and I am not sure that the FXS simulator will work here and so the FSX vs xplane debate is not really something that I want to get into at this time.
The simulator is much better then I thought it would be and surprise surprise you have to get used to the "airplane" and its quirks before trying approaches. The ability to use real time weather or to set your own conditions is pretty cool.
