best for the money and will give good practice on new manuvers for most realizm?

Best for the money is a tough question, some are free. I use G2.

I used the tru flight, it is a little pricey for what it is (about 370 australian) i likd it because it had a shuttle , and thats what i am flying at them moment to learn. it too me feels very realistic,. though i know a lot of peopls hate this sim. i practised on it for months , mainly just hovering in all orientations before i got my bird in the air, and the transition was amazingly easy. i was hovering nose in about my seventh or eight tank. as for forward flight dunno, thats hopefully this weekend. i dunno i guess its all a matter of opinion and what type of heli u own. the fms free one to me feels realistic to,. but once again that is just my opinion. it all changes when u r out at the feild and takin your first flight.. woah! the nerves!!

i have the "reflex" but think its garbage compared to many others Ive tried/borrowed. I can never get the Heading Hold function to work correctly so extreme 3D moves are pretty hard/impossible. I dont really use it anymore, prefer the real thing with altitude.

Also have the easyfly sim, its a novel experience for beginners but with no auto capability, or most other advanced stuff. Its fun to land inverted on the inside of the hangar roof though!

my 2 cents..........

I use G2 also works good and i fairly realistic.

I've learned a lot of plane flying with G2 and ALL (well 99%) of heli flying on RealFlight G2. I've never had a heli lesson and just yesterday my buddy made a comment about how fast I was coming along (FF, fig. 8's, stall turns, nose in hovering).

I think it's a great tool to learn new manuevers. I can flip, roll, & loop a heli in the sim. I think I'm just about ready to try it on my Hawk.

The sim is a great confidence builder too; I think that's half the battle.

I have Real Flight G2 and Tru-flight and Both work well.
G2 has more fetchers than Tru-flight witch make it a little better
sim and worth the extra $$.
So if you can afford G2 I would say buy it you won’t be sorry
but if not one of the others will work fine helping learn new
manuevers or just Hovering if you are just startting out.

G2. I like it.
