I was blown away when I first saw the 747 Precision Simulator. This has to be
one of the most realistic around.

Although I normally fly a/c alot smaller than the B747, I have been lucky enough
to fly the actual B747-400 simulator a number of times. The instrument layout is
very true to life on the PC version, as well as the audible warnings and
messages.

The only obvious flaw I found was the lack of inertia that is built into the
control response, especially on the landing flare. Not a real problem at all
though.

You will enjoy this program if you are into serious sims.
