Default MOST REALISTIC RC SIM???

I am looking at Aerofly, Reflex, FS ONE, and Realflight G5. I am a RC pilot that flies many planes and helos, but want a realistic sim to keep my skills when I am on a trip or business. I want the sim to fly as if I am outside flying my own planes. I have heard alot on Realflight, but may be because they are a bigger company. Any experience with a sim that is the most realistic to your real flying???

As a product reviewer, I have flown most of today's popular simulators. While none of them are perfect, they are all (At least the high-end sims) as close to the real thing as you can get.

The bottom line is, it really doesn't matter which one you get as far as the actual flying goes, I would choose on the grounds of features that I want (Type of planes, flying sites, views, on-line play, etc)

I agree with Minn (HI Minn).....All sims seem to fall short a bit....mostly in slow flight handling and landings....but if you want to practice aerobatics the sims are the way to go.....I've been using Real flight 5......

I bought a sim to relearn how to fly after a 20 break and to teach my son.

The reason I chose RealFlight was because of the large number of users it has. This translates into a large selection of aircraft that are available to download on swap pages. This helps a lot in keeping skills up for me as I can always find a cool planes to add to my (simulated) collection.

I have RF g 4.5 and it has helped me a lot. Especially with the plane coming toward you. It will start building the muscle memory so you react instead of having to think. You wont be sorry whichever you choose
