Hi breakin2:-) G2 is a great sim from what I heard.. Never own
one.. But it's cost is up there.. Another option is AeroFly Pro..
I just bought mine and I love it.. It's a bit cheaper than G2 and
works just as good if not better, And it's a lot better in 3D flying!!
You can but the interface version $139.99(use your own transmitter)
or I think it's called the Commander version(comes with a controller)
$189. It also comes with a free expansion pack which gives you more
scenery and a total of 35 models.. You can also download more of
each from it's forum.. It's worth a look see.. Mine came with a
german manual, but you can download the manual from OMP site
and also the prices above is from the same site with free shipping..
You can look and purchase if you choose here:
