hi
i can only say from experience, and from what flight sims i have used. for general flight simming (i.e. non combat flight sim) Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 (or FS9 ACOF – a century of flight) is the best to use. it is microsofts latest sim.
if u have a good computer, i.e. perhaps one with a 1 GHz or more processor and a god graphics card, or if the computer is less than 2/3 years old, you should get good performance and visual results.
flight sim is famed for the way that users can modify their game. you can buy commercial addons which add aircraft, scenery, or make the scenery mesh better, by producing more ‘hills’ – a less flat landscape – improving the ground ‘mesh’ of the land.
u can also download freeware, which does the same i.e. improves scenery or adds aircraft etc – the sort of things u can get are endless, except, without the cost. u can download these freeware addons from places like http://www.avsim.com or http://www.flightsim.com.
for example, if u want a mytravel aircraft for FS2004, go here:
http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=mytravel&CatID=fs2004ac&Go=Search
as for guides on how to ‘fly’ the aircraft in flight sim, the online file libraries, like avsim.com are a good source. explore http://library.avsim.net/ to see what u can get – u’ll be impressed. make sure that u search within the simulator that u want by selecting in the drop down menu box.
hope that helps
