Speaking of "professional" flight simulators, let's not forget the 
amazing-sounding Elite IFR simulator.  It sure doesn't sound like it would
be much fun for most casual users, but it's so realistic that a licensed
pilot can use ELITE to satisfy the FAA's six-month recurrency training
requirements!  And at only $749, it's a real steal!  >-)  There's a big
review of it in the April MacWorld.  It really does look like an incredibly
well-done program for a very small number of users.
  Speaking of the MS Flight Sim, someone on CI$ mentioned that MS was
planning the release of the new Flight Simulator to coincide with the
release of System 7.  Let's hope so.
