Default RE: Best simulator, in my opinion, is...

Yes Rajul, I flew G3 at Hobby Visions, talked about it in another thread a little. I also flew Reflex and AFP and I own G2. I spent quite some time going between the three to get a comparison. Reflex is still the prettiest, AFP has good physics but looks the most cartoonish and G3 has as good or better physics and while not the video of Reflex has some graphics characteristics that are very impressive. Overall I think G3 has the most promise once the planes are tweaked out the same as the stuff I was flying on AFP. G3 has an almost CAD like interface for modifying aircraft and a huge flying site that is easy to manuver around. You can actually see the background reflected off the monocote when you fly up close and the glare of the sun if you fly through it. All in all I think G3 is the most realistic, a virtual reality compared to the others.

For practice they are all good and you can learn to fly or new advanced manuvers on any of them but G3 has much more to explore and grow with than the others and once the final version is out (I was on a beta version) I think it will set the standard for the next few years.
