For those of you looking for something ot have some fun with then I thoroughly recommend FMS. It's available to download from http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html and the best thing is it's totally FREE! This simulator has fairly decent graphics and a good range of models (if you want more then there are plenty of free downloads on the web, just Google 'FMS Dowmloads and you'll find addon models, scenery etc.) and plenty of other features including: -support for transmitter control (if you have a connection lead) -programmable thermals for glider flying -simulated hand and bungee launches -collision detection with objects such as trees -switchable cameras between pilot and chase views -and more. I'm currently using the V2.0 Beta 7 version and have great fun with it so go ahead and try it!
