I as well am a student pilot and found my M$ flight sim 2004 invaluable. I
have the pedals and 3 lever yoke and has helped me fix a few persistant
problems I have had.

Instructors I have worked with have said that students that use flight sim
have a much easier time when getting the IFR ticket.

I use it now to fly my x-countries before I actually go. Helps me to get
aquainted with my flight plan....
