I fly g3 and FMS. G3 is of course a lot better than FMS if you want better graphics, better sounds, better interface, and maybe I guess a little better dynamics. To be honest I cant tell a lot of difference between the flight physics. The better graphics of a more expensive sim can mentally put you in a more dynamic rc world if you really get into it. But maybe that’s not what your looking for. If you just want a simple rc interface simulation between the electronic and dynamic world than the cheap FMS could be worth 0 or 200$. Depending on how you use it. It could save you hundreds. Bottom line any sim free or $$$ they all exercise your hand and eye coordination and muscle memory. And in our hobby with our squirely little toys that’s priceless.
Has anyone has any problems with running FMS? I got it free with my Esky Co-Comanche. I ran setup and it installed fine - but I go to run it and get one of those generic Windows errors saying an error has occured, and that's it. Running XP media centre edition - though I'm running it on my iMac through Parallels.....wonder if there's a problem there.
