I really prefer the Phoenix as it has all of the popular helicopters and the down loads are free and the background seem to be brighter. It is more of a heli pilots sim and the Realflight is more of an airplane sim... at least to me.

Of course if you want a more upscale simulator you would have to spend more and get the likes of the Pheonix or the Real Flight 6.5 (my favorite). The expansion pack you got is made for the older Real Flight 6 and the current Real Flight 6.5.

Status: offline 		I'm gonna be the odd man out once again and say that I slightly prefer the feel of helis in RF to Phoenix, but they're both VERY close. Buy based on the other features, neither flight model will disappoint.

I really like RF all around, it's great as a training aid and also a lot of fun to just mess around with.

Not odd man out as from my post above, I also prefer the Real Flight Sim.
