Hello gazza111,

I don't know how long you have been flying but, You know, I was never able to TR on a sim at all, trying to learn it, so I had sold my G2 Sim. a few years ago. But, I never gave up trying to do them with the model planes. This had gone on for over maybe 5 yrs. My nephew, whom I taught how to fly at age 12, lived on the his sim. night and day and he progressed so fast, he learned flying and is now an excellent flyer and 3D pilot with 40% planes. The sim works. But again, I just kept trying with the plane. This past fall, I have finally gotten the plane to TR by not over contolling the planes and not giving up. Now that winter has arrived, I purchased the AFP SIM as I read so many good thing about it. As soon as I loaded it up and got it going, I was able to TR the sim right out of the box using the Extra 330 from the add on program. IT was what seemed to be so natural to TR.

I quess what I am trying to say is, Give the sim a chance, Fly the plane with no mods other then moving the CG back 1", but I found that that make it a little unstable. At least for me. I worked in small steps to over come different things mentally trying to TR, the major one was I kept stopping the TR with an AIL. correction, because it was not natural for me to let the plane rotate. But time was what it took, and for how realistic this sim works, I can't see how you could not learn. Just be patient. It is not going to happen over night. A friend of mine had told me that if I wanted to learn how to TR, all it would cost was $100 worth of gas and lots of practice. Well he was right, but instead of using the plane where your mistakes can cost you, use the sim for those costly mistakes. You will start to get it. I saw my nephew learn through this process, but I just wasn't into the sims at that time

One thing I must say, is I am impressed how real this AFP Sim seems to feel using my own TX. I almost feel like I am flying my plane. Not bad.
