Default NEED INFO ON THESE SIMULATORS PLEASE

I am getting back in the rc field again. I never fully mastered flying, and thus have
decided to buy a flight simulator. I have seen the Great Planes 3.5 version at a local
hobby store. Very fancy..even shows the wing breaking up upon a crash - but do I
really need that? And there is the $2oo price tag!
I saw another one put out by Sig Manufacturing for $39.99 for the transmitter and
program. About 15 planes are on it, including an ME262. The graphics are not fancy.
One disadvantage is that you can't put in a wind speed, unlike the G3.5 one. See FLY
RC, Oct. issue, P. 132. A 3rd one ( same, P. 31) is the Mini Mag Training System which
includes the simulator plus the Mini Mag. Can anyone out there give me advise? I am
escecially interested in someone who has used the last 2 versions. Is lack of wind speed
a disadvantage? Thank you.
