Default Should I get a Simulator or a RTF?

OK... from the white north,,, on a COLD Minnesota morning.

I bought the G2Lite to save $50.00.... my son-in-law out did me by buying the full version. I have had a chance to use both and I learned this:

The full version has more planes and a nice variety of plane types

The full version lets you set up your flying fields with movable objects - lets you play with things more

The planes can be modified, engines switched out, and if your clever or go to a good site you can modify the colors

I haven't yet made use of the internet "fly ins" but if I figure out how to do this, and my computer can handle them, this could be fun as you can then "fly" with others on the computer

And yes.. I can upgrade and most likely will, but I will then spend another $90.00 to do this, rather than the original $50.00

So, in hind sight (and I find my best vison is placed there) I would have gone the extra $ to start with

But no matter which you get you will find it worthwhile, just make sure you computer can handle the graphics, I had to upgrade a video card and I understand that's the most common problem with this simulator -------- enjoy!!
