Crash, I have used Realflight and Aerofly Pro. Aerofly Pro is more realistic, in my opinion. HOWEVER, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LOSE THE CABLE THAT COMES WITH IT! I lost mine, and the nice folks that represent AFP informed my that I cannot buy another cable, even though I can prove I bought the software. Lose the cable and plan on buying another $150 simulator!

I have been flying for about a year now, mostly warbirds. I have had a chance to spend a some time with both Realflight 2 and Aerofly Pro simulator. They are both way better than FMS. However, I Just received Reflex XTR. I don't feel that I'm experienced enough to know how really accurate the physics are in each of the simulators. But I will tell you this, Reflex XTR is the only sim I have ever tried that left me feeling like I had been really flying at the field. I feel like I'm getting quality stick time when I use it. [8D]

Here is 1 of the 3 threads that I found. In case you edit it later, this is what it says:
"Guys, do any of you know of an AFP cable that runs continuous from a Futaba 9C to the computer, preferably in USB? I've given my AFP and adapter cord away, and I need to replace them both. Thanks, everyone."

Please don't make our company to look like the bad guy here. I work 12-16 hours a day supporting our customers and potential customers. We help anyone that wants to be helped. It really bothers me what lengths some people will go through to get what they want for free, at the expense of someone else's reputation.
Just to set the record straight to anyone that owns AFP or is considering buying the program. Like G2 and Reflex you must keep the proprietary hardware that it comes with. These special cords have safety mechanisms in them that protects the software from hackers. If you break the cord or it's defective then we will be HAPPY to replace it. If you lose it, then you must purchase another program. So keep your cord in a safe place.
Thanks!

I think i am going to purchase AFP, i read an article about it in a model magazine and it sounded real good and i've flown it once before. But i have another question can you swap airplanes, and can you get new ones, like , download them from the internet?

Yes, there are hundreds of free downloads available. All sort of aircraft helis, gliders, warbirds, 3D etc. Nothing else to buy once you have the program.
