Well seasons getting good again weather seems like its starting to break. Time to take all of my winter knowledge on the Sim and put it to the test. I was an avid RF user and then got turned on to AFP. All I can say is man what a difference. You cannot even compare the 2. Learning to hover and TR all over again from what you are used to in RF. I am hooked on AFP and I love it. IMO I wouldnt use anything else. I tried to apply what I had learned on RF at the field as far as hovering and basic 3D manuvers and I found it quite difficult to say the least. The things you would of expected to be what you had learned wernt at all. I went back and started on AFP and pounded away at that for a GOOD 2 to 3 Months. I can honestly say that the characteristics in flight were extremly close. I was impressed not only with the sim but with my abilities at the field. Be confident but not cocky and you will have a good time. COME ON SUMMER !!!!!
