That's AeroFly Pro Deluxe. I don't know how much you'd get out of flying the
sim.. but I supposed you could get a feel for how maneuvers flow together
and so forth. It would certainly be useful for learning new maneuvers
without putting stresses (or overstresses from mistakes made) on your
airplane.

Hello Doug

Can you advise what is AFPD. As F3A flyer, in my view it is not practical to
use G2/G3 for F3A practicing. Does AFPD is better in that sense?

Thanks

Amram

There's really nothing out there that compares with AFPD. It's the best
flying sim on the market. There are maybe better visuals in G3 or XTR.. but
who cares? The flying is what matters to me.

I want to learn which  flight sim available on todays market would be 
the "Best Bang for The Buck" to purchase.

I have friends with the G3 and have heard a lot of good things about the 
Aero Fly Pro Deluxe.

What are the pluses and minuses of each and is there another sim that 
might better suit me for learning the different
Pattern maneuvers?

Thanks

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.

 

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.
