I make paper planes and trim them to perfection for good glide ratio before I fly them out of my balcony.

I have a 1983 Cessna 172 SparrowHawk that I fly.
In other words I have am O360 shoehorned under the cowling.
I have a commercial, but don't hold an IFR.

Private for me.
If I was to go commercial it would be floatplane bush flying. No interest in flying airliners. Biggest stuff that would appeal to me would be corporate jets, but bush flying I'd love.

Private pilot single and multi-engine, instrument rating, and working on commercial right now.
I'd like to fly for FedEx or an airline or corporate. Actually, I'd be happy flying just about anything for a living.

I think I'm going to start taking flying lessons but it will probably have to wait until next summer. What do you guys recommend for a good flight simulator? I downloaded a open source one that didn't look bad but was wondering if there are better ones. I have a pc for gaming so it's okay if it's on the pc. Should I also pick up the controls instead of trying to fly using the keyboard?
Thanks,
Brad

You can't go wrong with M@#$&^@ft flight sim 2004, or any of the earlier ones a cheap training aid. My old Pc doesn't run it too good anymore, but when I have used it, I used the autopilot. I found it useful for flying approaches and holds and stuff like that. Works ok.

I'm going to learn the basics with the MS one and then move up to X-Plane. Thanks for the advice.
