Default G2 for teh Experienced Pilot

I received G2 with two Add-ons for Christmas. I've been flying for more years than I'd like to admit and consider myself an average to better pilot. Now, how useful is G2 for people who have experience? Can you improve your flying? Can you learn new maneuvers with it? Does it help advance your skills.

Too often, simulators are recommended for beginners - and rightly so - but what about those who can already fly fairly well?

I agree with these guys. I think it helps me as much now as when I first started flying almost 2 years ago....maybe more, since an error in basic flight is much easier to recover from then when you're practicing new aerobatic moves.

Yes, I would have to agree with all of them. It has worked extremely well for me. After a 15 year hiatus from this sport, I was able to go out and fly my Hangar 9 Easy Fly 40 without much help. Soloed the first day.
It is also quite nice for those of us that live in snow country to keep sharpened up during our long winters. However, about to put a set of skis on this trainer for the fun of it.

All of the birds I currently own and are building are on one of the add-on disks, such at the TF Stinson, WM GS P-51, etc.

I have to agree with gator. I have been flying for over 25 years and I use it a lot. Both to learn new stuff on the heli and fixed wing and also just for fun, and that GP slotter ROCKS too.
