You have me a little confused here between your postings. I am one who feels physics should come before all else in a sim and so naturally I focus on feedback regarding physics and 'feel' primarily. I was happy to read this thread and discover such a staunch G3 supporter would give a positive report of fsone....but then I saw the other thread.

In my limited time on FSone, I quickly saw how great of a sim it is. It rivals or surpasses G3.448. I only flew the Edge, so that's all I can speak on. I look at the flight characteristics of planes the most. That's what I'm gifted at and what I like to do.
The Edge flew very well according to my standards.
...yet in the other thread you reported:

I'm an intermediate to advanced 3D pilot. On the Edge-the only model that I flew- the 3D characteristics were very poor.
I'm really not trying to be an ass, but what is your *actual* take on the flight modelling? The only LHS here I've seen running fsone here was doing so on a sys that's far from optimal to say the least, and so I'm unable to create my own fair judgement.
Moorman,
Very good question!(you're not an *****) When I posted in this thread, I was referring to how accurately FSone depicts a plane flying. In the other thread, I was referring to the poor flight model on the Edge. That's because the Edge was made from more of an IMAC perspective instead of 3D. It flew great for IMAC, but was very poor in 3D flight. from what I saw of FSone, a lot of time was put into it, and they've done an excellent job, but they need help on flight models. That's why I rated FSone a 9.25. It was very accurate. Spins and tailslides weren't all that I hoped to be though which is why I rated G3.5 a 9.5.(those maneuvers are very accurate in G3.5)
In the overall scheme of things, I've heard reports of many problems with FSone. However I think that they'll get it all straightened out. From people that own FSone that I've talked to, FSone will rate a 2-3 out of 5. I would rate G3.5 a 4.5 out of 5. However, FSone does a great job depicting the way a model should fly and will be a great tool for anyone wanting to learn, which is all that matters.(it might even help NightOne
