well the G3.5 is compatable with the Futaba 9C and there is a Ultra stick type plane on one of the add on disc.

Well I guess I should add that FSOne is sponsered by Hanger 9 and has a relationship with Horizon Hobby (E-Flite). It comes with the Ultra Stick Lite 120 and mini Ultra Stick (scaled from 120). Your 9c will require the futaba square adaper (HANS3030 I believe). I would get the version with the controller because it does not require any setup other than calibration. I have used my 9c and prefer the Taccon controller because it is hooked up and ready to go 24/7 without having to mess with my 9c. I have used G3.5 and it works well too. I got FSOne since I have G3.5 available whenever I want to use it.

Get FSOne for planes (I would say it is the best for this IMO) and G3.5, Reflex or Phoenix for helicopters. FSOne is currently working on heli's, but they are not quite as realistic as the others yet.

There is a huge amount of information regarding different points of view on each title as they ALL have there good and bad. The search button is your friend as this may be the most talked about subject in this area.

The thing about FS1 is you need to have the frame rate up. But since your getting a good computer with a good graphics card I dont think youll have that problem. I notice a big difference from 70FPS to 120FPS not to mention when I get it up to 160FPS. I dont think most are getting there frame rate up they just want a good looking sim with the best graphics and that holding it back.

I have to say. Flying both FS1 and G3.5 I would definetly choose FS1 for the plane simulation.
I can hover ,tourqe roll. And knife edge my tail across the ground all the long on G3.5 Just not real if you ask me ,to easy.

Just my opinion and dont go getting all sensitive G3.5 owners! FS1 has the guy that made G3 so great and making FS1 even better :)
