not just beast, SUPER-beast of a computer

The "flying" is just as close as it has ever gotten to the real thing with any previous sim, not close enough. I have found the physics of real flight are not there (ie, throttle back and pitch up gets a dramatic increase in airspeed somehow). That being said, it has been beneficial to me as far as being able to practice instrument procedures sitting at home. My instructor has been very happy when I show up to the lesson already having a pretty good idea of how to carry out the procedures for the day, since I practice them on the sim before the lesson. If you have no previous sim and have a computer up to the monolithic task (2 DVD's, 15 Gigabytes of HD space, graphic card from NASA) then it is a good place to start, but for the price? I saw FS2004 at walmart for $29.99 and for "flying" it is just as good.
