drumbum,

Got the AFP running tonight an already have a couple of hours on it. My initial observations are:

1. Compared to RF G2 it is a cartoon.
2. The sound is horrible, absolutely terrible.
3. Overall the user interface is not as refined as G2.
3. The AFP airplanes do 3D, i.e. hover, TR, high-alpa, better than G2. I am comparing the 3D airplanes that I downloaded from the net that "fool" G2 into flying 3D - not the stock ones that come with G2 - they are terrible.

I downloaded a bunch of 3D airplanes from the AFP site. I wish there were more, but I haven't really looked around.

I can hover and TR all the "3D" airplanes that came with the sim as well as the ones that I downloaded. You have to be fast with a lot of control input on the included 3D flyers like the Extra and Giles. Sometimes a control input with a blast of throttle will get you back in the groove.

I like the 3D realism that this flight sim brings as well as the ability to use my real TX to do the flying - creates the same feel. I just wish that I did not have to sacrifice the nicer graphics and user interface of G2. Maybe G3 will get the flight physics right. We'll see, but in the mean time I'll be flying a lot of AFP.
