i love my afp sim but it won't run on any of my 2 laptops with xp. it has issuses with seeing the transmitter. i know of a lot of people with this prob, if you search on this forum you will see what i mean. it was only a few weeks ago i posted about it.

luckily i didn't buy it to run on my laptops but it would be nice if it did. anyway, if it works for you and some laptops it does work on then STL PILOTS new yak he has offered for download, see a few posts down for that. the yak is THE BEST 3d i've flown and i have the add on. second is the chip hyde STL also offers. 3rd best is the extra on the add on disk.

it is far better than g2 and you won't regret buying it. try to see if it's possible to get a loan of AFP from a fellow club memeber or whatever and see if it works on your laptop. if thats not possible then you might be buying something that won't work.

sorry if i've put you off slightly but i wouldn't like you to be out of pocket.

cheers
