I've been away from the hobby for a few years and just joined this group today. So excuse me if this subject has been beaten to death. I'm looking for a flight sim that realistically depicts some of the current popular models, both fixed wing and heli. Are there any alternatives to Realflight G3? What are some of the pros and cons of the good ones? Thanks! Bill

Hi Bill, I've had most of them including G2 and G3 (didn't like it). My all time favorite is the Aerofly Professional Deluxe distributed by Ikarus. check it out here

I have G3 and as far as I am concerned it is no where near as good as Aerofly Pro.
