Now that the weather's gone south for the winter, I'm looking to purchase an R/C flight sim. I'm willing to spend the money, I just want to get the best sim for the money. I want to be able to run it on my Dell Dimension 8200 desktop as well as on my Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop, both with WinXP and USB. I want to be able to use it with my transmitter as opposed to a joystick. I'd prefer to sacrifice graphics to get more realistic flight.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks...

I would recommend RF G2 Full or Lite.
Either program will allow you to hone yous skills through the winter.

Since you said realistic flight, and if your wanting to play around with 3D than the only sim you need is Aerofly Pro. I've got G2 also and Aero-fly Pro wins hands down.
Aerofly doesn't have all the cute and pretty planes but they fly like a real one and if you want to learn 3D it's not going to happen with G2.
If all you have is usb then you'll need an adapter for the 15 pin connector with areo-fly.

Here's a good place to read about it and see a couple of video's.

If you are interested in 3D I would highly suggest Aerofly Pro. Awesome walls, harriers, waterfalls, blenders etc.

If you're getting AFP, get the interface version where you can use your own Tx. It's also cheaper than the game commander version. Which Tx are you using ?
