| Ralf,
I don't have any time on this Orbx product but have flown FSX several hours.
Although the flight response compared to the airplane I was flying was not very accurate, I still found the sim extremely helpful. Caveat: it depends what skills you are trying to perfect.
If you are mainly after "Can I keep the plane right side up in the presence of conflicting sensory inputs." obviously there's limited value because most of the sensory inputs are missing.
On the other hand if you are interested in refining things like the below I find it exceptionally helpful and far more efficient than training in the air: - am I looking at the right thing at the right time? - are the magnitude of my corrections on an instrument approach about right? - did I execute my approach checklist effectively? - am I organized for the miss? - am I organized for a nearby alternate? - do I prioritize correctly in emergencies (helpful to have a buddy control the emergency part of the sim)?

Dear subscribers, Since I am close to flying now I wanted to ask you if you have any experience with this flight simulator software. How much money do I have to spend. Does it help? – is it an instrument that can keep you current. The Instrument set up they have in there is very similar to my airplane. I just remember when I took my instrument rating I had 1 hour of simulator – it did not do much for me at this time and I never tried it again. Thanks for your help Ralf -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
