RE: Beginner needed Simulator? Which One?
For what its worth...
As far as physics, I think G2 is slightly better at simulating forward flight and AFP far better at simulating 3D flight.
As far as the little details go, I like how the aircraft in AFP break apart when you crash, and how the rotors change pitch when static and flex when in rotation.
As far as sound goes, I think G2 is signifigantly more realistic.
