The only problem I have with using Linux is that the video drivers are 
WAAAY behind current releases for Windows.  Additionally, the only sim 
choices you have are FlightGear (Free!) and X-Plane.  You can't leverage 
the huge amount of tech and goodies built for MSFS.

You're using FlightGear, right?
