Easier than a ten year old physical copy.

If you don't specifically want Fsx, I would recommend X-Plane 10 instead. Very pretty.

also optimized to run better on modern machines. Definitely get the steam version

Sounds about right, think it has extra.

P3d is also a good option.

+1 Better sim as well.

On an aside, love the DCS World series, if you're into military simulations check it out. Steep learning curve but very rewarding.

I'm using it for vatsaf.com and mainly for radio work.

Have to agree. I recently purchased the Mirage. What a great aircraft.

Guess I'm going need a decent joy stick soon.

Had a Genius one years ago when I still played with fs2004.

What should I be looking for?

Its worth investing in a decent HOTAS controller if you're more than a casual flight simmer. X-52 pro is the one I use. The Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X is a cheaper option
