IFR practice on computer

This has probably been done to death but..........

Anyone know of a IFR sim for PC's.
I was using IFT pro but old floppy disk died on me.

Have you tried FS2002/04?
04 lets you do non-precision app. the maps are fairly real, all the freq. is real.

I'd suggest getting another copy of IFT Pro. Minimal computer requirements, minimal eye candy, minimum distractions from the purpose - making IFR procedural work second nature.

If it's a hobby, fine, go for the glossy stuff and enjoy it

I use a program from Jeppesen called Flite Pro (Version 6). Seems to be a very good simulator as far as my limited experience goes and definitely helps keep me mentally current.

It has worldwide coverage and is compatible with / has Jepp charts in the maps. Dont have a current URL for getting the programme un fortunately...
