Prizzy - The problem is probably your video card drivers. Chances are the machine came with old drivers not optimized for Vista. I run G4 on my machine which is running Vista Ultimate and the sim is trouble free even at high resolutions. I am using a 8800GT now, but I was using a 7900 series card and it ran G3 and G4 well.
66stang - Vista is not a resource hog, it just uses RAM differently than XP, which is better IMO. |

Heres my experience. I could easily hover in G3 but couldn't hover my .40 3D for real. Then I flew FS One for about 40 hours and now I hover my .40 (Pheonix Funstar) No tweaking involved on either one so it may not be realistic but the fact remains that FS One got me going. I don't want no argument, I'm just stating my experience and leaving it at that. Thank you.

It seems that most people are going for the fsone. I feel that after doing my homework and trying out all the demos I will too be following suit and getting the fsone as well this weekend if all goes to plan.

Well I now own fsone and am looking forward to installing it. Is it easy to set up with the hitec optic 6? I was told it is the most realistic when it comes to the physics of the models and the position on the screen. Cant wait to carve some holes in the sky, what fun! It kicks butt! I managed to get the Tx all sorted and have been on it all afternoon soooooooo much fun.

I have AFPD, G4 and FS1. I rate AFPD as #1, G4 as 2nd, and FS1 as...... ? Does anyone want to buy FS1 cheap?

It is frustrating when you can't fly better on a sim than in real life isn't it?

i only have experience with the G4. i absolutely love it. here in iowa we don't get a lot of flying done in the winter... we still have club gatherings and fly the G4. pretty darn realistic and the neatest thing is....we learn something new it can do on a daily basis. from downloads of new airplanes, fields, engines, props etc. there is always fun to be had.
just my $.02

Have you figured out how to get the free expansion packs offered by Horizon into the G4 program ? I've downloaded them but can't figure out how to get them recognized by G4. |

Hi
To get the expansion packs to work, save them to a file that you know where they are, open up G-4, go to simulation, then import, realflight archive, select your file and say ok, then they will save to select aircraft area. Good Luck Bill |

well i just got fsone today and im extremely unhappy
. Im not pleased with the physics at all compared to G4. I cant get ANY plane to fly 3D even close to how all my planes fly. I feel as if ive just throw 80 bucks down the drain...Anyone know if Hanger9 has a satisfaction guarentee? I want my money back...

What didn't you like about the fs one physics? I think G4 is a little "easier" in comparison to the real thing, and I think fs one is a little bit "harder". I wish I could find a sim that was a cross between fs one's physics and G4's plane selection and graphics...

Before you purchase a Sim, check out the Aero-fly Pro Deluxe....Not bashing any out there, but for me,
the Aero-fly does the job..just a suggestion...maybe some one else will post a commit on how they like the Aero-fly pro series...
