I have a private pilots license in which I spend almost all of my time flying the 4 seat Cessna 172. The game is fairly realistic in terms of all the options you can set including weather and plane confirguations. I would highly recommend if you plan on just flying for fun, whether you are a real pilot or not.
However, if you are planning on practicing to obtain your instrument pilot license, there are better products out there. With the precision needed on an instrument flights, this simulator becomes difficult as it more or less floats to a turned direction but is not very easy to make minor heading corrections. In addition, the key instruments are fairly small and hard to read. That said, a better software for real pilots to get instrument rated is to go with the IP Trainer 7 software. For around $80 found online, you'll get the software and instrument text book. The graphics are very dated so you should NOT purchase for entertainment purposes, but I found to be a very good training tool as you are more concerned about learning how to fly instruments rather than the graphics anyway.Get more detail about Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe DVD.
