Default RE: flight simulators

No I'm not a dealer but I try to treat RCU members with all the help I can give, but I wasn't trying to sound like a know it all.
I just spent a fortune over the years on this hobby like some do. I don't need to have a stock pile of ARF's I'll never fly, sort of like this country has enough bombs to kill the world population 50 times over, they eventually sell some them worldwide too.

I had a decade of inactivity and had to start all over again. Things changed a lot. Flight simulators seemed to be the answer to head to the field with more confidence. I went to the worlds largest and most dishonest auction site, and bought a few simulators. First, the G3 is $200 and requires a $500-1000 computer (new) to run it if you have a fancy video card in an older machine, fine. I don't have either so the lowered graphic setting was very boring. The G2 worked best on my average PC (1GB RAM, XP Pro, 1.8Ghz, NVidia 5200 class onboard video 128MB which is probably the problem) and the physics were great. When I put my hands on a transmitter and fly the same models I'm surprised how well they handle like I'm on the simulator. $200 actually isn't a lot for this software with a transmitter and interface cable. People are just too used to getting their free software and operating systems from buddies they hate to ante up for protected software that won't copy or work with another interface, that I know of anyway. FMS is practical.

If I was a dealer by the way, RCU would toss my a bill for the member level required to list! I appreciate their confidence in my word. How else can I sell at a loss? [&o]

Hea krosypal,

I just read your profile. It looks like you are probably a dealer. And from the comments left by those that buy from you - a VERY GOOD dealer.

So, I can now better understand your comments and posts above.

Good hobby dealers are like gold - valuable.

Best to you.
