Looking to buy a sim
 

Ok I have 75$ - 100$ to spend on a sim.

I could sit on the money and get G2 reflex etc, but I am not sure that where i would like to put my hobby money.

I have soloed my own aircraft, but then took a 5 year break and I am definetly a little rusty on the sticks. I would like a simulator to make me a little more comfortable, and maybe practice pattern but that would be about it. I don't need multi-player, heck i don;t even need 200+ models (just at least one precission acrobatic model please). Some of the neat features of G2 are things i could care less about (i don;t need a closeup, because in RL my glasses just can;t do that).

I also run windows 2000, geforce4 TI4200 on my pc. I use a futaba 6exa so i might be limited in the control interface also. What would i be limited too?

I have some interest in G2 (lite), reflex (though i am wondering about win2k issues), aeroflypro (again win2k issues), maybe even one of the shareware programs out there (with appropriate interface).

anyone have some suggestions/experiences?

don't worry about w2k and reflex. it is designed for xp and comes with a usb interface which installs without any input from your side (which is not quite true for afp and g2 ...).

Get R/C Planemaster, and any interface that works FMS will work with Planemaster, and best of all its the cheapest sim out there cost's only $50. So why pay over $100 or more, it has the same features as realflight ie Planes, landscapes, wind affect gusts and more....
