I own both G3.5 and AFPD and i have to say G3.5 is miles better than AFPD.AFPD suffers with its physics compared to G3.5 and add the facts that there are literally hundreds of planes available for G3.5(rising all the time) and the physics editor is amazing as you can change practically every part of your aircraft.I make planes for G3.5 and think that the program is fantastic.G3.5 has a great community that is always willing to help out with questions,check it out for yourself at

The forums are very helpful and are packed with extras like airports,colourschemes,planes,helis etc.
I will be upgrading to G4 as soon as i save the money.Whichever sim you decide on i hope it helps you with your flying.G3.5 has helped me hugely with practicing 3d without crashing all my planes saving me probably hundreds if not thousands of pounds.If you are interested my planes for G3.5 can be downloaded from the link below so go and check them out.
