I've had the Real-Flight G3 R/C Sim since it's first release. It's a great way to learn to fly R/C airplanes. It's also a lot harder to fly an airplane in then the Flight Sim. You really have to pay attention and stay with it. Touchy Touchy  Grin Also pretty expensive. It cost right at $200.00 back about five wears ago. I guess that's not so expensive when look at what it cost you when you wipe out a real life model R/C model airplane. Wink And I've smashed up a few. Not a laughing matter. Cry

The photo real scenery is not 3d, it is an image that is just a background.  That being said, they do make obstructions hard objects that will damage the plane.  A competing sim came to our airport and modelled it just like that.  They simply take a series of pictures and match them all into one continous image.  It takes a little more than that to import it into the simulator and model the ground and obstructions, but it looks amazing when its done.
