Wow, while I doubt this original poster will bother to reply or return to this site I can't help but post regarding their comment. It's "free" open source software. Something that a little bit of research should advise you of. I bought a cheap-o flight sim controller the "came" with FMS (I had to download it). But I knew before hand from doing a little research on line what I was getting. Since I can't justify spending the hundreds of dollars on "real" flight sims, this "junk" works great for me!! As with the actual models themselves, this hobby requires a bit of tinkering on the person partaking of it to get the most out of it, and FMS is no different.
As stated above some people created this great software in their spare time and are giving it to us for free. There are plenty of others in these forums who are contributing to make it better and make it work on hardware "less than 20 years old". If the OP want's something better for the price, please let me know.
To the makers of this software, thanks for letting those of us who would rather spend a hundred bucks on our plane instead of simulator software do just that. But really, you should consider making a little money for yourself on this stuff!
