Hey I have been reading around and I haven't really found which sim is better for actual real world instruction. From what I have gathered, however, is that FS2002PRO is a little more serious when it comes down to instruments and mechanics. Is this true?

I've never used it but I would just guess that since 2004 is newer and does have more features than the regular 2002 had the it would be better.
If you notice they (MS) only put one out this time.
I imagine that they incorporated all the features of both 2002's into it, why drop anything good.
