I have the G-3 and so far I am very pleased with it seems like wheather you go AFPD or G-3 your out the 200$ check tower they have a payment plan and discounts all the time after my discount mine was 175$ and they added the add-ons vol 1 also . a quality sim no matter which one is a great learning tool it has helped my flying for sure and well worth the cash. as a side note make sure your computer can handle the graphics after buying my sim I found that my graphics card was not enough the minimum upgrade was 100$ I chose to get a better card and it was 165$ a factor in chosing which one you go for now I can watch DVD's LOL
