You can actually learn how to fly on MS flight simulator. They even make rudder peddles and yokes for the thing! If you can land a Cessna 172 on MS Flight Sim the real thing is a piece of cake. I’ve done both and the real thing is so much easier. You spend 40 hours on MS flight simulator before you go to the air park your primary instructor will be impressed on how well you do the first day. Plus take your written, and pass it, before you even take 1 hour of flight lessons with an instructor.
I’ll have to see about the software and peripherals. Guess I’ll check the world of Amazon unless somewhere else is better.
Thank you for the advice. I always learn something new here.
