Okay, so I'm about to take the plunge into the world of r/c planes--something I've been thinking about for years!--and it seems a great idea to start with a simulator. In looking at the system requirements for RF G3, I can see that my ol' system won't be able to hack it, so I'm about to try to buy a G2. One I'm looking at (on eBay) is offered from the UK, but I got to wondering if there are any computer format issues that I might run into with a product sold to the UK market--just to show you how much I know about computers!

A related question: My system is a 995 mHz Athlon with 256K of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 4 graphics accelerator; does anyone see a reason that a G2 won't run for me? I hesitate to ask, as it could be something like the tire debate on motorcycle lists: Are there other sims that I should be looking at? My aim is to use the computer system I have for now, and get the best stick experience I can prior to trying to destroy a real model.

Many thanks,
Mudbay
