You mean you want a Saturn V rocket for FS? ???  Where exactly are you going to fly it?  They don't really go horizontally, and the FS zone ends at Angels 100 . . .

A very, VERY comprehensive space sim.  The most recent update actually looks very much like FS2k2 did.  But the learning curve is STEEP.  Takes a large amount of knowlege and understanding (not to mention patience!) to get from ground to orbit.

If you have a DVD drive and a Electroniques Boutique store at you local mall, I might recommend (don't boo hiss me please guys) X-plane 8xx.  You can fly anything in that and as high as you want to.  Most realistic flight dynamics in a PC flight sim and FAA certified for desktop computer training use. It's worth it just for the Blackbird experience it can provide.  The sky actually is dark and the earth is curved at angels 100 in X-plane.  What the platform excels best at is actually rotary and extreme aircraft in ways that FS can't although any plane can be designed and flown and since the airfiles are automatically generated based on the math of the airframe geometry and engine output you can be rest assured that whatever plane you are flying is 99.9% correct dynamics.  Why, you can even fly on Mars in that sim although that requires very large wing areas and electric or rocket propulsion.
