I have the G-2 and loan it to any new student I have, my basic instructor had G-ZERO he loaned me. I had boxed with him a couple times then he loaned me the sim but he also gave me tasks to perform and the plane he wanted me to do it with. Then he would buddy box me and go over the things I learned.
I did the same thing for my students.
The programs and graphics have improved but there is nothing wrong with the old sims, with an instructor even G-ZERO would still work.
