I'm wondering if you've tried G4.5. Everybody I know including myself who used to fly G3-G4 say 4.5 is way better in terms of physics. Ask Ryan Archer, he knows.

Never done IMAC, but I would certainly participate in a free style event. And I also vote for the 3.5 YAK (edited of course). I guess I would give the IMAC thing a try too. Could I have a free style Yak & a IMAC Yak (two different planes)? RV

I used to have a 42% extra 260 Dalton. Got in a head on collision. It exploded into trillions of glittery little pieces. I miss it. Mabye the sim is the only way for me to re live memories.

Anyway like I said last year. I am in...........

Who's that?

And if the G4.5 includes the new Pitts Python, then yes I played it. If not, then I'm yet to try it.

Nope, G4.5 doesn't have a new Pitts Python. Try it out dude, I'm sure you'll like it!

Ya the kid is good. He beat Kyle. Kyle got SEVENTH
Kyle got robbed.
The kid is unreal. Cant wait to see how he does in unlimited. I was suprised to see him wipe everyone out all year long last year, his first year of advanced. That was impressive for sure. Now for unlimited. This will be interesting.

Kyle has some skills but I think he needed to do more than what he did. Kind of repeated himself in that freestyle. I say he is the best at rollin harriers and high alpha moves but you gotta do more than just that in a freestyle to meet the criteria and score high.

Ryan will prob kick butt in unlimited. Hope he does. He has some great talent at his age!!!

True, he just does not practice. And yes high alpha, he a master. And one round was a repeat and one was new. Too bad they only flew two. Too bad they had to waste a round hucking sticks the day before instead of competing. That was disappointing.
I believe Kyle would be the best freestyle pilot in the world if he practiced. He is only in it for fun. Its no fun for him if he has to take it serously. Free country. At least for now....
Speaking of high alpha the kid did none. He flew well but virtually no 3D. I know he's good at 3d so I was a bit suprized by that routine. Maybe he had something else planned for the round that never was.
It was still a great freestyle contest. That was the funnest day for me. Watching that.

So when is the G3 Contest?

So when is the G3 Contest?
Ive have seen people win freestyle with no 3d invovled. I know for me it is hard to go out to the field and practice a freestyle. Only time I have really practice for freestyle was for the XFC. Other than that its hard for me to go out and practice it. My problem is I get to shacky when I go up to fly in a freestyle event!!! If I went out and relaxed and had fun with it I could do a lot better.

Hopefully it will be a G4.5 contest now I think I see one sitting under the tree!!!

G3 is fine, i have G2 at home lol, and yes like sweatpea i'm behind, haha i'm a poor highschooler what can I say. Lol but I go to my local Hobby store 3 times a week and fly G4.5 at least an hour a day, and it beats every flight sim out there to date.

So what is need to run G4? Say you have a decent pc running G3.5 very well...Can you just get a better video card? I hear it takes a lot of computer to run G4.
Anyone have any experience with what it takes?
Thanks
