You can download a trial version for free. It's obviously not as good as RealFlight of Phoenix, but it's a decent simulator for that price. In order to benefit from these free RC simulators, the flight simulator controls need to be very similar to the transmitter you will be using at the field. If your transmitter has a trainer port you may be able to purchase an adapter that lets you use your transmitter with the computer.
There's a good chance you can find a chord that will fit your transmitter on eBay. Some radios have different style plugs than others so be sure to read the "product info" after clicking the link to make sure you are ordering the correct cord for your radio. Many of the people who are interested in using a free RC simulator are just getting into the hobby and may not ave a transmitter to use.
The major drawback is that both sticks spring back to neutral position when you let off of them. This is a problem because the throttle stays where you put it on an actual RC airplane controller. You don't really get the entire feel of an actual RC transmitter when using a PC game controller. But it is fun to play around with if that's all you have. When the RC bug bites, it bites hard!

Training yourself with RC flight simulators is a more practical approach to learning to fly RC airplanes. So before you go out there and buy RC aircraft and spend a ton of money replacing it time and time again due to multiple crashes, study up and train yourself in the principles of RC flight.
This preparation can lead to a long and enjoyable experience in flying RC planes. RC flight simulation software comes with models of RC airplanes and flying sites that help you virtually recreate RC flying conditions. But part of the RC flying experience is the tools you use the control the aircraft — your radio controller. If you use FMS or other RC flying software that supports it, I suggest using a controller that has two analog joysticks like those found on a PlayStation.
These operate more like the controllers for real RC planes and helicopters. Some of these RC flight simulators will also work with your own RC controller as long as your controller has connections for an interface cable such as USB or serial that connects the controller to your computer. Others come with real transmitter controllers or cable adapters for various types of transmitters. Or, you can go to your local hobby store to buy a training controller which has its own training software for flying RC planes.
RealFlight Flight Simulators by Great Planes come with thousands of miles of flying fields, flight recording and playback features, add-ons for more aircraft and flying sites, and an InterLink Plus controller that acts as your RC aircraft controller or can be connected to your own transmitter. It has a demo version that is controlled by your computer keyboard. Not great for real flight practice, but it lets you sample the software.
Flight simulation software doesn't guarantee you'll never fly too low or fly too high. It won't totally eliminate all crashes. But it is one way to help you get more enjoyment from your RC flying experience by giving you more confidence, some "safe" practice, and allowing you to get comfortable with controlling an RC airplane. When you do take-off on your first real RC flight you'll be better acquainted with how to control your RC plane or helicopter.
RC flight simulators, just like RC racing software , aren't just for learning how to use your RC plane or helicopter. During breaks at the office, after dark, or on rainy or windy days when you can't fly the real thing, crank up your RC flight simulator for some real virtual flying fun.
