Default PC IFR simulators

I wholeheartedly recommend ELITE. A while back I foresaw that I would
likely stop flying but I wanted to keep sharp. I bought Elite because it
was the most accurate representation of a C-172 for IFR I've seen. I have
twice passed IPCs, as if they are just formalities, after not having flown
for two years. I would recommend the IFR syllabus if it's still available.

My last employer was a flight school with a Frasca 142, Elite was as
faithful to the real airplane as the Frasca and about $49K cheaper, IIRC.

Elite was easily the best money I ever spent in aviation.

Scott,

Which model or level of ELITE were you using?

Is the basic core product adequate for learning IFR procedures and/or
staying sharp or do you think one needs to go further up the ELITE food
chain?

TIA,
