If you have to spend $50 for an adapter for the tx (for FMS) you might as well get real flight because you will probably end up getting it someday anyway and you've just wasted 50 bucks.

At least that was my thought process. You can get g2 lite for cheaper, but then you can't get online with it or upgrade.

I got real flight a few months ago, it helped me a lot.

If it saves you from demolishing 1 plane, then its pretty much paid for itself, right?
