It was an early military retirement gift to myself that took a couple of years to happen. It's not cheap, but was full on instruction, I flew the 'Stang for a majority of the flight including maneuvers. I'm looking at payware sim versions, but it's going to be hard to compare to the real thing, at least the sound should be close as long as my headphones are maxed out. I'll continue to check out the vids.
