Flight Sim for help on keeping procedures fresh -- but there are a lot
of things that aren't very realistic about IFR on MSFS. I imagine since
it's so visually oriented but I don't really care about the graphics.

Any of y'all use a PC sim that you recommend?

I can only say that I blew a lot of money on ASA's On Top and IPTrainer
and never got them to work. ASA's software efforts seem to be a lot
lacking.


One quick call to them and I had it working. You are probably running
into the same problem I had. Getting the joystick and rudder pedals
to work properly. I has to do with the sequence of assigning and
calibrating. I'd have to do some searching though to find what I did.
(I did type it into a doc though)
