Hey everybody,

I was looking into buying the Real Flight G3 r/c simulator. After reading the reviews and learning about AeroFlyPro Deluxe and Reflex XTR, I have changed my mind about RFG3. Now my question is, what would be better suited for me between AFPD or Reflex? I like the graphics that RFG3 offers but I would rather have a sim with great accurate flight physics.

As of right now I fly sport planes. Eventually I would like to fly warbirds and learn how to handle an aerobatic plane with grace and awesomeness(that's not a word). I love flying pylon races but it's with my trainer and aircruiser. I'm to afraid and nervous to attempt aerobatic flying. I'm hoping a sim could give me so practice and instill a bit of confidence in me. I also i want to learn how to fly a helo on sim only though. Would my transmiter which is a Hitec Eclipse 7ch work with Reflex and AFPD?

Well to sum it all up? Which has better flight physics for flying aircraft and that could instill confidence in me to attempt aircraft acrobatics? The AFPD or Reflex? Much thanks for any helps and suggestions.

That question has been bet to death on these forums (which one is better. AFPD or Reflex). It all depends on who you talk to and what forum your on, this forum likes AFPD, other forums like Reflex. I personally don't think you can go wrong with either one. I'm a Reflex fan, but I fly helis and we all know that Reflex is the best sim for helis.

Your Hitec Eclipse 7 will work with either one.

Thx for the comment charlie. It's just that i read some reviews about AFPD and a lot would agree that the planes were easy to land and they seemed to float when flying. A plane that has a high wing loading which lands easily and floats in the air doesn't seems like an accurate simulated depiction of it's flight physics.

Migkiller175,
What didn't you like about G3? In my opinion, the flight physics are dead on. As far as aerobatic flight, there are two methods to this. AFPD makes it easy and you will learn the inputs. G3 makes it a little harder, but the new updates make it not so hard. In G3, you can pylon race with friends online if you have a 56K or better connection. Also, G3 heli's are pretty good. I've been learning to fly them on G3 and I'm told that they are pretty close to real life. I'm sorry if I'm complicating your decision here. I guess I'm just wondering why not G3. As far as AFPD vs. Reflex, I can't comment.

Here is a review for Reflex from a magazine (not sure which one) if you what to read it.

Are there any sims that have jet or tubine models in them.

Reflex has jets, I can't remember right off hand, but I think it has about 5 or 6.

G3 has a number and AFPD has them also.

G3 has gone through some drastic changes in the most recent past. The flight physics are ust as good if not better then the other sims. The Editor options in G3 have pushed it past the rest of the pack as you can udjust most anything on the model including the physics to make them fly the way you want them to. Now with the newest update to G3, we are able to exchange models between freinds. PLUS you can have online multiplay which you can not have with the other sims.

ClearView RC Flight simulator has a number of jets. You can get a free trial at http://rcflightsim.com

If you have the money, buy one of the top three. Clearview of any of the cheapies will only teach you orientation. I personally have G3, I liked it better than the other two, and the new updates I believe have pushed it ahead of the competition.

I have 41 jets (not repaints) for AFPD loaded. I'm sure there are more.

Do these jet /turbine modles come with the basic software or have you to download them seperately
