I've been a MS Flight Sim user basically from it's inception. I
recently bought the cheapest Elite sim and have been poking around on their forums. They are just finishing a patch so you can use most Garmin handhelds with the sim. It sends all the data through the USB port to your handheld so it's like you're flying with it. It's like 48 bukz. Cheap upgrades like a KLN94 are pretty hopeless according to what is being said on the forums. They usually have a very expensive solution though... Like buy a real KLN94 and patch it in. It's somewhat off topic, but I can't see anything Elite does that MSFS doesn't if you don't want to spend big bucks. In fact there is a great deal FS does that Elite does not. Elite has a few approach capable GPS units that come with the core package, but no Gamin or Bendix. But like Elite they charge extra for everything. For 160 you get all there IFR senerios which are pretty good practice. The core sim is only 160 or so and it's not bad for IFR practice if you can live with the onboard equipment. I use it to practice non GPS approaches and it does that pretty well. The autopilot seems more realistic and the way you use the mouse to dial in freqs is nice. Also, I think the weather you can create is very nice for approaches and seems to work consistantly where I find it hard to make FS do what I want. ... aKiley |
