AFP is THE best...period.
 

i just sold my G2 and got my AFP. i am not an experienced pilot. but i have flown the FMS and Realflight G2 and now the AFP. AFP is by far the best i have used. the graphics are unbeatable. call OMP and get yours while they still have some. it was easy to set up and run. i love it. it works great with my hitec tx. plus you can download a ton of planes. thanks dion.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

Ok, so I've 'flown' FMS then Easyfly, Cockpit Master, Ripmax R/C sim and now G2. G2 is obviously the best of that bunch.

Now what is AFP and who is OMP? I'll give it a bash :)

As for the period, well I guess that's one of the differences between English and American English.... :)

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

it is Aerofly Professional. OMP is Ohio Model Planes. that is where i got mine from. go to aeroflypro.com or ohiomodelplanes.com. they are great to deal with.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

tHANKS FOR THE INFO....

Aerofly Professional, isn't that just a pumped up version of Easyfly? ;) That little island they give you to fly around on in Easyfly is very picturesque but a bit limiting, especially considering the lack of variety of planes.... I haven't used any of my other sims since getting G2...

Although I will say this... What the L were GP thinking when they coded the battleship catapault in Add-ons 5? At least with the downloaded aircraft carrier in Easyfly you could take off and land on it....

I find that statement a little worrying, is there some kind of special deal on, or is the software being discontinued?

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I too have easy fly. now back in the box since i got AFP.
I have a GP cap232 and the cap in AFP flies so close to mine i am still in awe.
More planes and sceneries. plus what u can download.
I have never used g2 but from what i have read here there is no comparison. Again only what i have read.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

i dont know anything about easyfly. but you get add on no. 1 with purchace of AFP now. so plenty of planes and landscape. plus plenty to download for free. i say get it now because they sell fast. stock will run out.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

AFP is really a quality sim and should not so easily be compared to easyfly, although made by the same people.

Even with that said, if you travel through these forums some you will see the followers of AFP are mostly fanatical, and very zealous about the product. So either the developers are working some neat mind control subconcious stuff into the sim or it's worth checking into (i'll leave that to you).

I think the lack of availability is because the company that produces it is overseas (for us american's) or that the company is relativly small not sure which really applies to AFP.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

"...the followers of AFP are mostly fanatical, and very zealous about the product." - yepp - got it. sounds like a hell lot of backdoor marketing. I think some get paid for their posts. it's not only the use of superlatives, it's the number of posts and the obvious reference to buying sources - one very special in particular. Well, it's a free world out there. Freedom doesn't necessarily come with style.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I can assure that nobody is getting paid to make statements about AFP. The proof is in the punch. I will be putting up some more videos tonite.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

Ditto that WSN,

The guy below you tends to over exaggerate. He likes to make things sound better than they are. Pumps things up to make a sale.

Hey Dion ! What goes around comes around. Remember ????

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

Maby he just mixes fridays food market place with a decent neutral public user forum? I wondering why is showing up now only. AFP is on the market since quite some time but suddenly, some weeks back, the number of referring posts went up dramatically ... Quantity doesn't improve products - quality still counts to some extend. wolfgang

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

Hey plane crazy, I saw your order come through for AFP. Did you get it yet?

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I have AFP and dont really care to get into a pi**ing match about why I like it, I believe that some people here are a little enthusiastic about their new toy and thats about it (could be more-but i doubt it). When your new reflex product enters the market, you could use this forum to promote your product as well as support it, I dont see the reason for being bitter about AFP's dominance in this forum at the momet. If the new reflex is as good as you say it is, the product will make a statment on its own merits. Additionally, I dont think any sim is worth the $100+ that they tend to be, but because of the small market segment that buys r/c sims we are dealt a bad hand, or its just price gouging, you decide.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I don;t know about everyone else who enters these forums, but for myself I think there are a couple who go over the deep end when it comes to AFP. Even the original poster . . . come on if that isn't trolling I don;t know what is. I am not negating the fact that there are several people who really like the sim because it's so good, but i for one don;t believe all i read especially in this forum. I do believe there is some antagonism in this forum to those people who use or suggest G2 and yes from a lot of the same peple who tout AFP as the 2nd coming. I take everything with a grain of salt here, because some people's motives are as plain as day.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

and the video's are supposed to show you what exactly? That the graphics are nice? That the interface is pretty cool, and the sounds are ok? those things i can agree with. If you are trying to prove that it somehow means that AFP is more realistic i don;t think that will do the trick.

Unknown pilot who sells the said product fly's flashy 3d routine and becuase it is so cool i am supposed to think . . . . hey i should get that too . . .

Does it prove the aerodynamics are somehow more realistic than anything else out there? No . . . but it proves that a plane can be flown to look realistic even if the control inputs are backwards. (Not that they are . . . but for all we know yes they could be . . . video's are not real good at proving realism).

You want a sales pitch that would work and prove it's more realistic . . . . "money back garauntee if you are not 100% convinced that AFP is the most realistic flight sim"
That is an example of putting your money where your mouth is.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

AFP has some graphics issues. Flight model aside which seems really good. If you can't see your plane how can you control it anyways? When the plane is level and coming straight at me it's difficult to see the plane. Gets the jaggies on the straight lines to. They need to update the graphics engine.. It's serving it's purpose for me and I'm sure that 3D'rs like it but it needs some improvement. Especially the web site. Comon, for 100+ software I expect more information.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I got my AFP at the WRAM show after playing with all the othr sims there at the show. The AFP is by far the best in terms of graphics, choice of planes, & flying fields. Mine plugged right into my JR xmitter without any problems. Just make sure your screen saver delay time is at least one hour and your monitor power saver {if your computer has one} is set for at least two hours, otherwise the program will sometimes lock out for a few minutes. You can get all the info from "ikarus usa @ www.ikarus-usa.com

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

ok i am sorry i even started this thread. IMHO it is better than G2 and FMS. i have used it now for about 4-5 hours and have not seen a problem. it flies like the planes i have flown at the field. i think it sets up easier than the other sims i have used. i am by no means advertising for anyone. but if i get good service and good products i am inclined to tell others about it. sorry if i caused a riff around here. yes i was excited about the new sim and wanted to share my opinion. i am sure there will be demos of other sims at the toledo swap meet. i will check them all out. but as of now i like AFP best.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I don't get paid one red cent by anyone in any aspect of the hobby business, and my opinion STILL is that AFP is the best versus Realflight. STLPilot has made great strides to increase the number of planes available, and is always helpful within his expertise, so I would not hesitate to patronize his company, OMP. Once again, thanks STLPilot.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I just don't understand why all these guys are getting upset that we are talking so highly about AFP. If you want to see lots of talk about it just go to downonthedeck.com forums, look at the flight sim forums. They pretty much ONLY talk about AFP and how awesome it is. That site is where all the best of the best rc pilots hang out. Since I have been asking about XTR to it's employees the only thing they say good about it is how great the ground handling is and how much better then AFP it is. Well I am glad the ground handling is better then AFP because frankly I agree that the ground handling is not that great on AFP as well. But what I really would like to know, how does it fly? Because if I was looking for good ground handling I would switch to RC cars.

How could anyone possibly say that AFP is the VW Beetle of the RC sim world. There is just no way.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

OK. here is what I have to say. I have G2 and AFP on my PC. Since I got AFP (2 months ago) I did not open My G2 application on my desktop......Is that clear wich one is better??? For me, it is... And no I do not receive a cent for saying that...LOL.

AFP is the best sim right now. Perhaps it won't be the case in 1 year but for now I am fixed. This is probably why G.P is now working on G3...

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

Given the choice of AFP, RFG2 or Reflex-XTR I know where my money will be going. Everything I've read about Reflex says that it's better than either of the other two and I've specifically been interested in the comments of those that either own RFG2 AND Reflex, AFP AND Reflex or all three. I've not read of anyone who didn't prefer Relfex over the other two. This was mainly based on the non-XTR version. Now that delivers the same "eye candy" as RFG2 it seems like it's got everything.

'Course I don't know about the planes so much but if it's an accurate heli sim you want then it sounds like the only choice is Reflex.

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

Talking highly by private oppinon differs slightly from talking highly for commercial interest. But again, this is a question of style and forum moderation. You want to see how XTR flies? Get a copy and try!

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I only asked a simple question. How does it fly? You said that the ground handling is better, what about the flight characteristics?

RE: AFP is THE best...period.
 

I can't see any simple question here. You want to mess with ME about customer service? Hey, you are messing with the wrong guy. My sales method is pretty simple. A good product stands for it's own. It doesn't need the kind of hidden acclamation you are providing. You are still mixing the private things with the commercials. See - there is the difference. You need to provide some kind of "proof" to make your product attractive. That's why you have to show demos and videos and these things. I sell on reputation and satisfied customers. Still a long way for you to go but maybe in a few years, with another product ... who knows? But you should stop that "..simply the best" stuff - too cheap, especially if your customers find our differently ... "Because if I was looking for good ground handling I would switch to RC cars." - you still don't know anything about flying - don't you? Never mind - go ahead. I'm sure you will have some success, at least in the short run. Keep that thread on top. The problem with your agressive way ist that you just don't find a way out anymore when the market changes or moves.
