<DIV>I have Aerofly Pro Deluxe (AFPD). Nice thing about it is that it comes with a Smaragd. I understand that G3 doesn't come with a pattern airplane. Also, a free add on scenerary has a grid for the box and center box loop cirlces and 45 up/down lines. Very nice realistic sim. Bob Pasterello has done some tweaks to the Smaragd to make it even more realistic, but the out of the box airplane isn't bad.</DIV>

<DIV>Requires a fast computer and a good graphics card with 128 mb of memory for the graphics. Go to the dedicated forum on RC Universe to find out more about AFPD.</DIV></DIV>
