Default RE: Real Flight G5...

Yeah, I saw that. I try to use my RF3.5 sim once a day for no more than 30 - 45 mins. just to stay on top. I also try to use it just like I would fly my planes at the field, from taxi out and back to making sure I land everytime and even go as far as to taxi the plane over before I take off to check the control surfaces(good habits are formed by practicing good preparation). In fact, when my nephew wants to use it, he'll fly it for a while and when I see he's starting to use it like a video game or just see how hard he can crash, I usually shut it down. That being said....did you ever go to a jet show where they were doing combat with the ParkZone T-28's? That does look like a huge video game; jet pilots flying foamies and physically trying to crash into each other and inflict the most damage. First time I saw it, I couldn't believe it. Here was a plane that I was thinking was my next step up plane when I got enough money, and they were out there literally destroying them into pieces. No streamers here. It is quite comical to watch though, when the foam pieces go flying everywhere.
