Looks like even virtual aviation is starting to suck the big one. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7874937.stm

Hopefully this doesn't mean there going to stop making them. I enjoy using these sims for a little extra practice and fun. May not be the real thing but it is still somewhat good practice.

Not as much eye candy and slick commercialism but a great, realistic and cheap sim. Of course you have to have a yoke/stick and pedals but good bang for your buck. Windows & Mac friendly.
