Default AFP State of the ART ???

I was reading another post, where it was stated to be state of the art.
State of the art means using the newest technology of the time.
I'm sure this will start a Pi$$ing contest.

G2 has a state of the art interface but the physics are very limited.

Remember this is just my opinion for what you think it is worth.

Don't take me wrong, I like it to practice 3d and such with AFP.
I'm just putting out food for thought for both AFP and G2 developers

AFP is far from state of the art to me.
The whole interface looks like it was ported from 16 bit code.
The built in GUI for modifying plane looks like play-school to me.
The Game commander is very far from state of the art.
Serial connection, come on we are in year 2004.
1 momentary switch and who still codes for serial vs USB.
I bought mine and the Game Commander was jacked from the get go.
One of the rheostats was never centered from the factory.
I opted to fix it myself, instead of waiting to send it back and forth.
The quality upon opening was Nil, thin wire, thin plastic, and ect
Yes it was set up to use a transmitter.
Also recalibrating all the time.
I myself would rather put the ware and tear on a interface made for the sim and save my batteries for flying.
Why can't ya use 2 joysticks instead of 1 joystick and 1 transmitter.
The Interlink that comes with G2 has better quality.
Yes the flight physics are better.
I still enjoy G2 very much.
The G2 interface is great remapping keys, way more options.
Now all knifedge needs to due is make em all work proper and fix there physics to be more realistic.
Going on-line is a nice break after training, plus you can learn more with the view other option.
A culmination of both would be nice.
