I'm a little mad, looks like Realflight went from RC trainer sim to a video game.
I was watching the video on youtube.
I have decided G5 is now a video game.
What next PS3, Xbox Wii
This is one person that will not be purchasing the video game.
not Happy

I actually agree with this quote to a degree, for starters I bought G4 simply because it got a highly rated review for a R/C Flight Sim, I bought this purely to teach myself how to fly r/c heli's, with the added bonus of planes as well.
The thing that is bugging me with G5, is that the makers have gone to the gamers side of things...RealFlight Quote, "The most realistic recreation of r/c flight ever!(tm)" how many people do you know that are small enough to sit in their R/C aircraft and fly inside it???
Exactly!
I am more angry because they could have spent their time developing more realistic effects/gfx/physics etc. but instead decided to go more into a flight/combat simulator game style...they could have spent the time on the following options...
64bit gaming - would allow for advanced maths/physical calculation and better performance all round compared to 32bit.
DirectX 10 and 11 Support - I would have thought G5 would at least have DX10 capabilities by now to allow those with proper videocards to experience a richer environmental feel
I feel this would have been possible if they didn't concentrate on the silly "gamer" side that in the real world isn't possible unless we are call Alice and have a handy bottle of "Drink Me" at hand, then fair enough.
I just can't see the point in upgrading to G5 if you are a true R/C enthusiast as you aren't going to benefit from it compared to G4.?.
