This is my complete home flight simulator, the one I used while earning my private pilot’s license. Every piece was picked to match the controls and feel of a Cessna, so time on it carries over to the real airplane. It’s great for student pilots working on checklists, flows, traffic patterns and landings, or for anyone who wants a serious MSFS / X-Plane rig.
