If you tend to do stuff in the sim tending toward "as real as it gets", I found this great "real avaiation" program for the Palm that is just as useful for flight simmers that try to make things realistic as it is for real world pilots.

Description of the program for the Palm handheld:
CoPilot Version 4.6
===================
CoPilot is an application program for Palm OS Handhelds that performs flight planning calculations -- the calculations that you would usually perform with a ruler, protractor and an E6B calculator. CoPilot does time, distance, heading, fuel, and weight & balance calculations. It prepares flight plans (Canadian, American, and ICAO formats) with all the information required when calling the FSS. It also has utilities to aid in plotting routes on a map. CoPilot stores the data for past flights so that you can refer back to previous trips (or modify them for new trips).
CoPilot is distributed as freeware, with an option of a donation.
