Trespatos

Many thanks to both experienced responders for the replies. Now as to hardware. If I buy a entry level gamer desktop pc, will it be relatively easy to install and run Microsoft FSX. Will also buy entry level control yoke. BTW anyone know if FSX has checklists, walk around instructions, how to taxi, etc etc,. Want grandson to have a firm basis in being a pilot, not just the fun soaring part.

I am a very experienced pilot, 25 years Air Force, 20 years major airline. My 10 year old grandson wants to fly airplanes on his computer. This is something I don't do. He lives a 10 hour drive from me in a very remote part of New Mexico. Would like to buy him some flight simulation software to get him started. Also understand you can now stream flight simulation to your computer. As part of getting him started I will also buy him a PC. Where they live his download speed is 22.6 mbps and upload 7.95 mbps according to Ookla. So the question is where do I start, buying the computer and monitor is a done deal as his family doesn't have a desktop PC, just a laptop. Realizing he is only 10 and interests change would like to get him something to keep him interested but not spend a lot of money. If he continues to show aviation interest can always upgrade the flight simulation software/equipment. Plus he has three younger siblings. Thanks so much for your help!!! Check Six
