The flight model in Elite is excellant - only problem is you have to shoot
the odd pirate and Thargoid which interferes a little.

appreciated.

I would say that Elite is for proferssional pilots who wish to practise
their IFR approaches and systems. It is a very serious sim. For most

people
who want to experience the joy of flying many types, and to have some
excellent world scenery for VFR flying, then FS2004 is preferable.
You can find Elite with Google and download a working demo.
Incidentally as a serious hobby simmer, I have tried ALL the available

sims,
and while they all do have good points, it is difficult to beat the

MSFS2004
for general aviation.
