For the record........I hate sims........I have been flying off and on for 25 years. I bought the G2 when it came out and flew it or tried to for a long time. I can take off and land......sometimes.........but when I go out to the field and actually fly an airplane I do just fine. I have always had an instructor help me when I needed it but find that once I fly a plane in real life.............I can go back to the sim and fly much better. I think that sims are a detriment to first time flyers.........there is nothing to replace a for real instructor out at the field. Sorry..........that's just my experience.........I still fly on a regular basis and rarely use the expensive sim I just had to have.

Andy
