Having looked at all the web chat about simulators, I arrived at the conclusion that Hanger 9s FS one or the Phoenix were, if not the best the most reasonable in price, while being quite realistic in model reaction to control input. The graphics were well thought of as well. The Great Planes RealFlight G3.5 is also well thought of, the only down side to this system being that you have to pay out again if you want to add more models, while the FS one and Phoenix offer free add ons. In the end I went for the Phoenix, not just because it was cheaper but it has easy access to the system menu, to change planes and settings easily. I have been very pleased with my choice and it works very well with my JR mode 1 tranny. I am also learning to fly helicopters without the cost of repairs.
