X-Plane is amazing. I haven’t used it since version 9 but they actually license a commercial version to industry. It is that good. 

Just make sure you have lots of drive space for world scenery modules. 

My wife’s cousin was stationed at the naval air station in Corpus training to be a naval aviator, and he let me hop in one of their simulators, not knowing that I already had hundreds of hours on a sim at home. He was actually a bit salty when I took off, flew a perfectly rectangular circuit, and landed with almost no input from him lol. 

I fessed up later haha
