I love the G3 support... I purchased G3 about a month ago and it come with a severely scratched CD #3. I was able to get the disk to install only by using a friends copy. I registered the software and stuff online when I received it. I wrote them a quick little email explaining the scratch and they offered to replace it. emailed them my CD key for verification and about 3 days later I had a complete new 3 disk set mailed to me.

So far I really enjoy flying G3... I've tested some of the others and none of them seem nearly as well designed and polished as G3. I'm pretty sure that once I go out for training I'll be able to solo the next day because of training on the simulator (and old experience 15+ years ago).

If you are looking to learn to fly... then the purchase of the program + interlink is by far a worth purchase. I'd rather crash a million times in the simulator then crash a single plane learning to fly.

BTW - I agree with the fact that hardware locks SUCK especially with something as big as the Interlink. A simple cable dongle that allowed you to attach your own Tx would be more then ample.
