Jeff,

 

I've been using MS Flight Simulator for years.  The newest version is visually beautiful, but I've discovered a major flaw.  I was flying a GPS approach and noticed the GPS courses between fixes were off.  It ends up the courses were true north, not magnetic north as depicted on the approach charts.  I contacted Microsoft and got some guy in India who wasn't a pilot and didn't understand what I was trying to explain.  I pushed the issue up the line and finally got an upper level design guy and he knew what I was talking about.  The problem still hasn't been fixed.

 

A Legacy has been available for MS Flight Simulator for several years.

 

You can also purchase packages that add various Garmin GPSs to Flight Simulator.
