at our lhs they had realflightv3.5 with the up grade kit on salr for $159.00, he said the v.4 will be around $200.00.. i dont know how much better the v.4 can be. i imagine you will need a good pc to run it properly. i am using a fms right now. it is helping with the orientation.

if i decide to swing for real flight i probably will just buy the v.3.5 with upgrade. the 40-50 bucks you save will buy a few parts you know your going to need... my 2 pennys anyway... jake
