Been a while for me with 3.5 and i think you just get more models and more airport .....dont think it does anything to flying conditions.....may be wrong though it has been a while

to me, the expansion packs are not worth it. when you can go to Knife Edge and download all of the giants that you want i see no reason to pay for planes i don't care about to get one or two that i could've downloaded for free anyway!

G5 =

Don't knock it till ya try it.

There will always be haters, and then there will be people who embrace changes and have the time of their lives!

Oh, now we're knockin' it huh??? LOL you know me, i'll complain about it for a little while and then "nut up" and buy it whether or not it represents a benefit over my existing G4.5!!! LOL

I don't think anyone is knocking G5. It seems more like we're mentioning that it needs to be a real jump in flight physics and everything else. G4 didn't step G3 up much, and was not worth upgrading to from G3.(My opinion) I hope Hobbico knocks it out of the park. But if they don't, I will fly G3 until I find something better.

looks like SOMEONE has an advanced copy.... how about some advanced comments on the new version?

I thought G4.5 was a big improvement to G3.5. The hovering and a harrier is a lot more realistic. I feel. Also the the plane bounces on the gear and the gear squats on landing. The water is stupid though.

And there are those on the payroll......


I've had G3 (now 3.5) since it first came out, before photofields were even available. I owe a lot my ability to it; however, the state 3.5 was left in, physics-wise is joke.. KE should have at least done one more minor release before killing off all support. It's, IMO, almost completely worthless. If it weren't for the online multiplayer, I wouldn't even have it installed.. For a minor release or 2, the physics were pretty nice. From 3.5 on, they've been laughable at best.. I downloaded the Demo for v4 and felt the physics were a little better, but not enough to sway me to purchase it. 4/4.5 is not without it's issues as well.. Did KE ever get the multiplayer to work for more than 5 minutes a session?? I really wanted to get into the last offerings, but it just didn't do it for me.

With that said... I'm looking forward to trying out 5 and will absolutely buy it if it meets my expectations. I can't say my confidence level is very high at this point, though. Looks like they've focused all the dev effort into the 'game' side of it and not in the physics. Bummer.

Worst part is that everytime they come out with one of these new ones, you have to either upgrade your computer's graphix card or just buy a whole new computer, so i am really jumping for joy eh......... I used to like the sim, but now its just, EHHH not for me, why not just go outside and fly a foamie the same way you would in the sim........ just saying, if this is really worth it, i'll get it, but i didn't see much of an improvement between 4-4.5, i will say that i agree with the other guys that, the older versions DID HELP to learn stuff, the newer versions are like someone's doing the hard part for you...... just my opinion.
