Default PC flight sim for training?

This is an old thread I stumbled across... Wanted to mention ASA's, ON
TOP, IFR proficiency simulator... I also have FS2004Pro, but I prefer
the instrument panel that ON TOP has...
Besides, this is IFR practice, why are we rating sims on how realistic
the scenery is?

Anyway, I fly IFR in an old Apache, which is not on either sim, so I
simply dial up a Bonanza or a Baron and use that... And I do not have a
yoke, just use a joy stick... I do not notice the differences when
getting in the real airplane... My reflexes are geared to accomodate
the cockpit I'm in at themoment... It is procedures that need
repetition, not power settings, joy stick versus yoke, etc...

cheers ... denny
