Of course payware avionics suites are the best but if you just want a stopgap until you save for the more expensive suites its ideal. I use opencockpits and goflight hardware and everything interfaces perfectly.
Once my overhead is complete i shall use prosim, another free program and the author of that has a full suite in development which looks very good.
