Riff:

Find flying the E3D indoors or out a big hoot! I gotta get me one-o-dem! More fun than profile gassers, really. Had lots of fun with the Edge 540 in the blimp hanger, too! Smoke on! My girlfriend likes the Obstacle Course. I like it with the F16. That is one helluva challenge with that bird.

Am anxious to try multiplayer after the DSL connect tomorrow. Slider has done some hosting and such, but there were some bugs to workout.

Think I'll get a copy of AFPD to see what all the hype is about, but I really don't like the photo and 3D scenery that much stock. The flight physics will have to be first-rate to make up the difference. Lots of videos I've seen have the physics slowed down so much, the flying is unrealistic. I was impressed with a TOC pilot's flying on it. A friend (Gary Hall) who competed in Tucson Shootout said the top dogs there were doing exactly what I saw on the video...incredible low-level flying, inches off the deck.

G3 still has a long way to go to get rid of glass walls and funky crash/taxi physics of the smaller airplanes. Overall, I like G3, but I'll like it better when bugs are killed. It is improved with the heli-update, but I've got bugs to report to RealFlight, when I get a good list up to send.

Getting late, and I've got some flying to do...
