Real Flight G2 is fun, and very realistic if you have a fast enough system to keep everything fluid. But I'm noit sure it helps me, and in fact am worried if it might be hurting me. I know this doesn't apply to everyone, so don't anyone take this as a negative, but in my situation, it might be. Here's the deal. I've been flying since '86, and in the early 90's I have to say my skills were awesomely impressive. In the late 90's I got married, moved, bought a house, changed job departments, had 2 kids, and got stricken with the Intenet bug. My flying and building time went almost to zero. I still got around to flying 3 or 4 times a year, but thats about all. So, I bought this sim after i saw my brother demo it. Great!, i can fly more often now, and refine that slight edge I'd lost. But what i find myself doing is some of the most daring stuff, that I'd never do with a real plane, and often biting the virtual reality dust. What I fear, is that I might get out to the field, and take one of those split second bold chances, and bite the real dust ! I haven't had a pilot error crash since my 2nd plane, some 16 years ago. I'm wondering if I'm getting a false sense of security with the sim.
