Elevator_up,

Short answer is no... I just happen to have gone through a few sims over a period of time 'till I got to a decent one.

First off, I got FMS for about $15 off of ebay, shortly after I found Easyfly also on ebay for a similar price. Stuck with that for a while and was thinking about G2 for some time. Then I found CM on here for $10 but of course that had no lead so I used it with a joystick. A short while later I found a used copy of the Ripmax sim on ebay which also enabled me to use the Tx interface with CM. Then I finally splashed out on G2.
