RE: Sim choice
hi cobber
I have Aerofly Pro Deluxe and am very happy with it. It features a large and very realistic IMAC style Giles 202 which hovers, T/Rs, and harriers like a dream. Also lots of other great models. Realism is 95% there, and the graphics are above average.
I'm not claiming that AFPD is the best but it is much better than most. I also use it for F3A and foamie practice. It even has a v.p. prop shockie on it. Tip,,,,,,,,,fly your sim models the way that you would the real model and you will progress.
hope this helps.
