If you are only buying G3 due to the included controller - you may want to check out AFPD as it can also be purchased with an "Interlink" type controller. Overall G3 is a PIG compared to AFPD - AFPD will run like a champ on a lesser pc/laptop where G3 will not.

Thanks for the info kangaroo. I'm glad someone else out there compared it with other high-end games currently out. You are totally right, GP markets it as a training tool, not a game, and it will be a training tool for me. One big reason I am buying it is because I don't own a Tx right now, nor can i afford to get one and G3. When I am able to get some more cash I will get a good Tx to go along with a Heli. But, as you said, it will work on the bare minimums.
Thats just not true anymore since G3 added photofields. I used to get 30fps or less before the update and now get 200fps+ after the photofield update, this is with all settings maxxed.
I get the same fps on AFPD w/all settings maxxed as I do wG3.
