You might want to check out the forums at: http://www.knifeedge.com
They are the software geeks who developed Real Flight for Great Planes.
There is still an active forum for G2 there, and one guy says he knows how
to run G2 with Vista. Check it out. Go to knifeedge, forums, and then pass
up G4 and G3 to get to G2. Then start reading.
If you decide to get one of the newer versions, you can get G3 (which
converts to 3.5 free) a little cheaper than G4 which, in my view, isn't
all
that much better. As someone else pointed out, you can probably get a
better
price on rcuniverse or rcgroups rather than eBay.
