Another question about simulators

It seems to me, although I've never used it, that Microsoft FS would be

Yes, the current version is very good with regards to simulating scenery,
depending on what country you fly, especially if spend a few more dollars
to upgrade the mesh (topography) and landclass (textures that make up the
ground cover).

I have read that the latest FS2004 has much improved weather, a Garmin GPS
that rivals an actual GPS simulator with a now-dated complete GPS database
(including approaches), improved ATC that will allow one to fly non-
precision approaches and pop-up clearances, and better flight modeling. It
is my intention to use FS2004 (when I receive it) to keep my scan tuned.
