As many of us "lurkers" out there are not yet ready to plunk down the appropriate cash for the full sized version of aircraft, having an accurate model to explore and learn from is an exciting prospect. Thanks to Brian for admitting he is working on one ( like you don't have enough to do). Brian mentions X-Plane and for those who don't already know it is very likely that there will be limited support from Microsoft as cutbacks in staffing have included the group that developed the popular Flight Simulator series, too bad IMHO. However X-Plane another flight sim package (and a very nice one as well) is still strong and welcoming MS customers. Since X-Plane is pretty flexible (from what I've heard) this should be a very doable project. Along those lines perhaps we can use this thread to include suggestions for Brain (EFIS equipment has already come up) during development.
I personally have to convert from MS and have found that it should not be a big deal- Check out X-Plane...http://www.x-plane.com/default.html

Me too no cash yet and have to fly sims. X-Plane is much more flexible in aircraft design and gives more realistic flight characteristics than the other brand. Currently 'flying' RV's and Sonex in X-plane. Would like to try the X-plane Lightning. Not much knowledge yet in X-plane's Planemaker, but learning fast.
