You did a nice job making your points in your review. The biggest point I would like to back up is the one about whether or not someone needs a sim. I bought mine after buying the Funtana, and realized that this was a completely foreign way to fly a plane, and that I didn't want to destroy my model while learning the basics of 3D flying. You made a comment about being on the sticks alot with reflex. I have to say that that is exactly why I bought the sim. The Funtana is not a plane you can just fly carelessly or without paying attention. I realize that to the more practiced pilots among us, this is not an issue. For me, it was a new learning curve. I think the sim has helped tremendously, even if only to help establish familiar stick positioning. As for the tweaking of the models, I think that is actually half the fun of playing with it. I'm so glad that when you finally get it right, the whole entire flight envelope is pretty well spot on. As I stated in another post, the only thing keeping the sim from being perfect in its physics is the overall complexity of the program itself. The people making these things know that, asnd that's how they will sell more of them in the future. They will fix these little issues, one at a time. They've probably got people doing nothing but reading our posts to see what they need to address in their next version. I think there is plenty written now on which is the best sim. We should now spend a little more time developing them and sharing our ideas with others on how to do that.
