one nice thing about the newer renditions is the ability to download most, if not all, of the planes from KE. my flying buddy has 3.5 and he isn't able to download many of the airframes that i can dump into 4 and 4.5.

(atleast he hasn't been able to, maybe we are doing something wrong?)

I will vote with my money on Aerofly. Every update to GX I have bought was lacking.

the free planes only fly as good as they are setup.

I look foward to seeing if G5 flys more realisticly.... If they can get spins and snaps down, I think it might be worth it. I'm still not impressed with what I've seen. Doesn't look like they've improved any flight characteristics... But I will give it a fair shake, given the opportunity.

I look foward to seeing reviews by people not on the Hobbico payroll.

Galloping Ghost, the new Aerofly looks hopefull! I hope you will do a full review on it!

5870 How are you liking that? I'm still with 4870x1, hoping to build a new computer soon though.

QUAD CORE PROCESSORS ROCK!!!!!

Mithrandir · 11-06-2009, 05:34 PM

I only fussed with it for 10 minutes last nite.... but I was able to tweak a model in about 3 minutes to fly pretty dang good!

Feels like the inertia is more realistic and the snap/spins seem better too!!

leepord geko · 11-06-2009, 09:16 PM

The reason why the newer versions of simulator software are easier, is in my mind that if the simulator was as realistic it wouldn't be as much fun lol, and plus there is so much physics involved to calculate, that you can't make it AT THE FIELD REALISTIC you do need a fairly accomplished computer to run the sim on max settings, but that doesn't mean you need a i7 920 overcloaked to 3.8ghz and dual gtx 280's.

Mithrandir · 11-18-2009, 04:01 PM

Anyone else fuss with this yet? I have been having a blast on this.....
the same model with the same tweaks (as 4.5) seems to spin and snap more realistically... aND THE HARRIER aileron response seems better too...

who is gonna go multiplayer tonight!!

lol

jongurley · 11-18-2009, 04:37 PM

I will probrably pick up G5,,, I don't own a sim, I have taught myself in real life,, I am wondering if the G5 has the heli physics improved,, I flew the new Phoenix 2.5 the other day and the helis were great, but the planes don't fly quite as good as the realflight,, , I am looking a sim that has the best of both worlds,,

rcbobp · 11-18-2009, 06:10 PM

Any of these simulators compatible with Windows 7.0?

Scags · 11-18-2009, 06:21 PM

yep. I'm running windows 7 and 4.5 works fine so i wouldn't think G5 would have a problem with it either

Understeer works like this: you drive down the road , turn the wheel, but the car goes straight on, crashes into a tree and you die. OVERsteer works like this: you drive down the same bit of road, turn the wheel, but the back of the car comes round like this, and you go off the road, crash into a tree and you die. Now, oversteer is best, because you don't see the tree that kills you
