<DIV>I still use Aerofly Pro Deluxe. FS One from Horizon looks
promising. I didn't get much time on it after waiting an hour for the
install to finish (4 CD's - take a while). I was helping a local HS owner
with the install and ran out of time to fly it much after that delay of game,
but it appears to have good flight physics. The sceneries look great,
realism factor seems high. One thing I didn't like is that it is
slooooooooow to load up if you change a scenery or a model. The computer
exceeded minimum requirements for clock speed, memory, processor type. Not sure
about the graphics card she had in it though, but the delays were getting new
objects loaded, not in the flight response. The controller has some good
features. You hit a button on it to re-start when you crash, so you don't
have to hunt & peck the keyboard. I think it's worth a test
drive.</DIV>

<DIV>Aerofly Pro Deluxe is still my favorite though. There's a zillion 3rd
party add-on sceneries and models out there. One scenery enhancement I found is
the 3D Farm Grid. It throws up an aerobatic box frame as a reference
in the sky. I found that I had to adjust it to make it appear to be placed
at a distance that looked right. You can edit a text configuration file to
move it around and change other dimensions, such as the size of the loop
reference in the center of the box. One of the most entertaining
things about Aerofly Pro Deluxe is flying indoors. It's a hoot. You can
eventually figure out how to land on top of obstacles like the hanging
scoreboard or fly knife edge along the edge of the gym and snake it through the
corridor and out the door. Once you're outside, the wind kicks in
(if it's on). You can fly around the outside gym building, land on the
dome roof, back it down the dome, fly away and try to re-enter the
building. You can pick ridiculous options just for fun, like a 40% Cap
indoors. You have juuust enough room to get it in the air and do a 3D Wall
before smacking into something. Then you are on the edge of your seat
keeping it in the air inside the gym without hitting anything and
eventually do a Harrier landing. Lot's of fun.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am thinking about buying a simulator and wanted
to hear the current thinking from the list. What simulator do you have
and how well does it work?</FONT></DIV>
