ok i've been looking at flight sims for a wile. i would like to know any of u that fly g2 has it helped in your fly at all. i know most of u will say get afp or xtr but i like the price of g2 right now it's only 149. at my lhs. any info would be aprecated thanks
i was also courious if g2 has any park fliers in it iam into the little electrics and was wondering.

I got G2 Lite for X-Mas and my wife says it has to go back because I can't set it down. I think it is great. It seems to be real life like. I just started flying Helis agian and in the few days I have had it I know it has helped me catch back up on my skills. Hope this helps Scott!

P.S. they are having some problems with the G2 online updates but when they get that fixed you should love it.

Darkfly,

Despite the bashing it takes on this forum, G2 is a very good simulator. You can definitely learn to fly with this software ... I know because I learned to fly with G2 and an Avistar trainer. After a few months on the trainer, I jumped up to an Extra 300S with no problems ... I can't imagine this would have been possible w/o G2.

I have both G2 and AFP. There are things I like and dislike about both programs. IMO, for someone learning to fly, the planes in AFP are way too easy to land ... the float much more than the real planes. G2 does a better job of modelling .40-.60 size planes (like the ones you are probably flying), while AFP does a better job of modelling 90-100" wingspan 3D aerobats. It is also easier in G2 to take measurements of your own plane and modify a G2 plane to fly similarly.

G2 does have parkflyers and electrics.

There are also a lot of advantages to buying the "old" sims ... great prices and easier on your graphics card requirements.

Good luck.

Carl
