Pros
This is my first experience with a flight sim other than military. I really like the realism that you can program and is a lot of fun with multiple monitors.
Cons
Little tricky to setup, but be patient and read everything. The online help menu is a great deal.

Pros
We purchased this for a gift for my father for his birthday. He has always been into flying, he had a plane before I was born and decided to give that up to raise a family. This is the closest we could get to a plane for him! He loves it as well as the whole family! It came in only 2 business days for us which was fast and well appreciated!

Pros
Very realistic great for IFR practice. I use it often for practice both for tracking and approaches. Has a a feature to review your flight both tracking and altitude that is very helpful for reviewing purposes.
Cons
Like all software one should expect minor errors. Braking does not seem to work and the trim is VERY sensitive and at times will change with no notice.
General Comments
Still I do like this very much and I recommend this to any pilot who wants to keep their skills honed when not in the air.

Pros
It is good because I was able to connect it to my TV set via a HDMI CABLE
Cons
Assembling the product is where I have had a problem it is simple until you get to the Trottle or speed reduction device when you want to connect it to the rudder
General Comments
Kindly redesign the connector between the speed control device and the rudder in trying to connect it I actually ended up bending the little pins inside it was so frustrating that is one thing that is a big minus to the product .

Pros
Very good tool to use to fill the gaps in between my lesson with my instructor. Great way to train without the fear/anxiety of doing something you should in the actual aircraft.
Cons
Setup is a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Took me a while to find the icon to actually start the program I'm used to a shortcut autosaving tithe desktop.
General Comments
If you have moderate to long lulls between your scheduled lessons or you just want to get all the bang you can get when your actually paying for your lessons this is a must have. There are even flight lessons with a flight instructor built in if you choose to utilize that feature and it takes you step by step.

Pros
This is a quality product. I'm using windows vista with about 4gb of ram and it runs quite smoothly. After the initial install you'll need to go through the config and make sure you have it optimized for your system, however once you get it there, it's pretty close to real. I would (and have already) recommend it for a cheap "in-between" flight trainer.
Cons
While it will work just out of the box, to get it all setup and configured properly and make it accurate and realistic, it takes some work, but that is really to be expected.

Pros
As Close to real as it gets.
Cons
Difficult to load software in the proper order. Needs a "Load this first, then this.....etc. If not loaded in the proper order, you will have some trouble with the computer detecting some hardware. Tried e-mailing the company and got the e-mail returned. I'm not a computer expert, but I finally figured it out on my own. There is some help to be found on You-Tube.
General Comments
I have been watching this to go on sale for months, it was worth the wait. I can't wait to order more add-on instruments until I get the complete package. I am a Private pilot and I feel this will help me keep my skills at peak when I am not able to fly for real.

once you get it working its easy to use. you have tech support and they help you work out the set up.
Cons
the foot pedals slide a little so i have to put a heavy shoe in front of them to prevent it from slidding. you also need a lot of free memory and a fast computer.
General Comments

Pros
Excellent setup for practicing all aspects of flying without leaving your home. Great for instrument approaches, great for stalls and spins. Excellent teaching and currency aid.
Cons
Can't center the yoke in MS FS, makes for annoying holding of the ailerons to maintain level flight. You can center the yoke in X-plane, but the switch panel isn't recognized in x-plane.
General Comments
Excellent setup, good for all sorts of practice. Good quality product. I highly recommend this to anyone..
