Last November I took part in a sponsored round the world flight sim trip with all proceeds going to the Orbis flying eye hospital.

Eight teams from around the world took part and the event took place over 6 days, with simulated flights taking place 24 hours a day. Each team took part in simulators which various people had built up over the years and were all extremely realistic as you will see from the clip below. Here is a funny clip of what happened to us on one of our flights during the event and it give you a good idea of how good the sim is! :-)

Great to read all your comments.
I must say that a real flight simulator session would be terrific, and most of you are clearly more heavily into the whole thing than I am.
I did fly a simulated 'holiday' over several real time weeks some time ago, in a Cessna, island hopping in the Carribean, using all the navigation tools and instruments, including night flying. That was fantastic. In fact, I think the plane is still in Trinidad.
I think I'll try one or two of the other versions mentioned to compare with my older stuff.
