I was about to buy the G3 because it has more planes/fields and the cost is cheaper. However I was advised that I should get the FS1 instead as "this sim will end all sims, the graphics are something need to be seen to believe, you can't tell this comes from a sim, you will yell "LANDING" because this sim is so real you forgot that it is a sim, your heart will be at your throat when you crash and you breath a sight of relief when you realized it is only a sim, you will this and you will that...." Well, my personal opinion is that it is a good sim but graphically, it falls behind other sims. I think that the hype is more than what it is worth. DP
