I need to respond to these comments about Flight Simulator '98. It's a GREAT learning tool, but only for certain things. It's pretty worthless in teaching you how to get the feel of an airplane or how to land one. However, it is a great asset for learning procedures and navigation. Usually when I run FS, I connect the autopilot on heading, with altitude hold, so I don't worry about stick and rudder issues. I can then tune the VORs and ADF at my leisure, intercept radials, find crossing radials, fly magnetic bearings, etc. It's a waste to try to learn this stuff while bouncing around in the air paying $75-$100/hr dual. If you have any trouble with the radios, I'd suggest you make the avionics box be large and move it over to the left of the panel.
