I bought G3 not because of Graphics, Physics, avaliable models or anything to do with how it works..

It was simply avaliability and $$

I was going to get AFPD but my LHS is not an Ickarus (sp?) dealer and couldn't get it.
I ended up getting G3 through tower because of a free $25 gift certificate, $30 off the order, free shipping and no tax...
pulling off a 2nd $52 order using the Gift Certificate and a $20 off $50 code for $14 shipped was a nice bonus.

One other thing to look at is can your PC run the software smoothly?
I thought my 2.13ghz Dell Latitude 810 laptop with a 128meg Raidion X600 video card and a Gig of memory could do the job..

I can fly the photo fields ok but the 3D fields with a lot of objects like the obstacle corse are a bit choppy.
