That PilotEdge is impressive! I will definitely give that a try once I’m settled in. Thanks for the info. Also, I will get X-Plane 11. It seems X plane 10 is no longer available on Steam. Thanks everyone I appreciate it.

Seems quite nice from strictly a procedures and repetition standpoint, if nothing else. That's how I plan to use it. All the best with it.

haha I still have the flight simulator 2004... just love it, but a bit outdated. is this x-plane stuff good? ...and what about apps for mobile / tablet? is it useful to getting into flight training?
