MS Flight Simulator as a training tool?

Thanks, Hal. In addition to the links that Hal posted, you may want to explore my Flight Simulator in Aviation Training page. It includes many links to articles and studies that show the efficacy of using PC-based simulations to complement flight training.

Can you recommend some good references for using X-Plane 10 for flight training? I am reluctant to purchase Flight Sim X since it is abandon-ware, Microsoft hasn't updated since 2006 and their attempted web based replacement was a total flop.

Thanks,
