Lots of posters here have fun bashing MX, but I have to say that one
of the more enjoyable experiences I've had lately was sitting in the
family room, in front of the PC. I am working on my instrument
ticket. Ove the years I have collected the CH yoke and footpedals.
I have downloaded a flight model and graphics for my Sundowner. I
was looking out the window at the snow falling, and I set the sim to
real world weather. Damn if the screen didn't look exactly like the
weather outside, and I was once again looking at my panel. The ATC
simulation wasn't bad either, and off I went down the "runway." I
got vectored around pretty much the same as when I fly under the
hood. I thought that was absolutely fantastic, and all for about a
nickel's worth of electricity. No instructor or safety pilot needed.

That's only the tip of the iceberg. If you'd like to enjoy simming
even more, consider:

1. Getting an add-on payware aircraft that matches whatever you enjoy
flying in real life (or whatever you'd like to fly in real life).
Companies like Dreamfleet, PMDG, and Level-D offer hyperrealistic
simulations of a great many large and small aircraft that are so
accurate that it's almost like flying a brand-new (and superior)
simulator.

2. Use ActiveSky for weather. The simulations are so accurate that
it's hard to distinguish them from real life.



You wouldn;'t know real life if it blew you.
