[quote]Well, sorry mr Gates and co for any nasty things I may have said about your software in the past. All is forgiven. I bought 2004 today and have just flown IFR from Auckland international ( that's in New Zealand ) to Hamilton via Westpoint NDB in the Baron 58. I could not believe how good this sim is. It's so realistic in the way it picked up the 12 mile arc for the VOR DME 36 at Hamilton. Adding 1% of my ground speed in miles to set my turn on point dropped me right onto the arc and then I watched the DME and ground speed bobble around just as it does in the plane. Man, the only thing this programme won't do is let you get out and take a pee at the terminal!
