Simulators?? You tell me!?!?!
Ok, I'm going to have to teach myself to fly. My question is, is the Real Flight G2 worth the $300.00? Or will FMS do the same job without the cost??

FMS is OK to learn the basic flight controls (major learning step is the control reversal when it flies towards you - any sim will teach you this). It is not 100% accurate though - many think that RFG2, AFP or Reflex are pretty close to accurate (but then you do have to pay for the privelege). Don't forget to have a look at www.preflightsim.com too, it's another free one like FMS.
