Default RE: G2 to G3 upgrade?

G3 is a buggy, undeveloped nightmare that is not as good as G2 and has horrible physics. Sell the G2, and go by AFP, AFPD, or Reflex and you will be much happier.

I bought G2 one month before the release of G3. Before I bought G2 I called GP and was told that there was NO new releases coming out any time soon and G2 was the standard. Literally 1 week after I bought it the G3 product announcement came out.
I was pissed. My guess is that it was a counter to AFPD releasing theirs. Better to ship crap than to ship nothing - that is the KE motto.

I tried a friend's G3, we played with it for a few hours - it was terrible. Worse than G2!

I used the G2 package I bought for a week or two and got bored really fast - it was OK, I'd say very good for beginners or those looking to learn basics - but not so good for experienced pilots or 3D training. I ditched it before I ever registered it and bought AFPD.

My friend sold his 1 week old G3 and bought AFPD after he saw mine!

AFPD is an order of magnitude nicer than G3.
Reflex XTR is a good sim too. IMO, both better than G3.

Ohio Model Products was nothing but honest about everything up front, has been great with service and questions and I give them an A+ for honesty and integrity. I give G3 an F
