Default New G3.5 Upgrade

G3 will be offering an upgrade in the future. And yes, upgrade, not update. Only a few screenshots have been releasd. So far it is looking really good. No release date out, hopefully they will be smart and not release one and suprise us with it. And yes, completely FREE. Can't wait!

Hi,

Comparing the first two pictures, it seems that the lights are animated as well!
I say WOW!

Can you please quote your sources on any of this? Especially the highlighted part.

Sure thing. I had this converstion on another forum with nemo_uk, a very well respected G3 modeler for those that don't know.

nemo_uk

Got some inside info about RealFlight. Great Planes will soon release G3.5. It will be a free upgrade for G3 owners. Not sure on the features yet, but I will try to find out more.
Zelatio

Free nemo? Are you sure??? That word 'free' is not used often by Flight Sim folks, or any for that matter. I guess it is just going to be another update from 448, or is it more than that?
nemo_uk

It will be a free download for G3 owners. Most updates have been "patches" i.e. fixing a few things and maybe adding a new feature. This latest update is much more significant.

Thanks Zelatio! However, from the folks who I've talked to, it won't be a free update, or anything like it. It will be on cd/dvd and be something to buy. It doesn't sound like Nemo has the "update" yet either. Maybe you should get your info from someone who does have it.(or at least one of the beta versions of it) Also, G3.5 is more than nightflying. There also might be a few other features that have been begged for..........

Harv, I think that if you can afford to buy G3, you should be able to afford this. I have no idea what the price will be though.

Can we have the sources you talked to? I don't want to be a jerk or anything, even though I know I sound like it, I just would think that nemo would have no reason to lie about it. I also want to know everything I can about it!

And yea I know that it will be more than just nightflying. I'm thinking one word for this. Water.

No I can't quote my sources. From what you quoted of Nemo, it sounds like that was when he had just heard of G3.5, so I'm not saying he was lying.(just underinformed according to my sources) I'm not sure about water, but hypothetically speaking, there could....be....SShhh....real combat

Hi folks,
I'm happy with the info I got. It's good to know that KE develops something never seen in a rc-sim before. So its great!
Of course, we all will see whether it's free or not in the end, but until then the discussion about free or not is useless. I better wait for the next few pieces of news and feel happy with what I have.

Just my opinion...

Cheers,
Lego

50%, you sound pretty well informed yourself!! With that, I don't care if it costs money.

UPDATE: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNYN1&P=7

Says free upgrade for current G3 owners! Full list of things there. Streamer combat, Torque roll trainer for airplanes, Helicopter Orientation training! Looks great!!!!

Nice! I can't wait! I don't have G3.5, nor have I flown it. I was just repeating an informed source that was currently running G3.5.(hypothetically speaking)

Some of G3.5's "new" features aren't new to RC flight sims. Phoenix RC has night flying and streamer combat already. Torque and heli orientation training was offered on other sims before KE added it to G3. Of course G3 owners will like these great features that other sim owners currently have.

[EDIT] The night flying in G3 does look pretty good though - I wonder what kind of card you need for the glow effect? [/EDIT by daFischen]

Well that looks like the 3D fields. I sure hope they have optimized their 3d code cause I get horrible framerates on them since about 2 updates ago. I can go back to the old version and get 60-80 FPS then a few updates back they made some modification and my framerates dropped down to under 20 and averaging out to about 10-15. I can't fly them anymore and only fly the photo fields. I sure hope they either:

1. fixed the 3d field code or
2. supplied a night flying photo field.

50%Plane, it may surprise you to know that not everyone who prefers another simulator than G3 is a troll. BaronVonWalker was making a valid point in a civilised way. Unlike you.

[EDIT] The night flying in G3 does look pretty good though - I wonder what kind of card you need for the glow effect? [/EDIT]
The glow effect is no different then any other photo or color used, it's just a luminescent color, one of 16 million available. The backlighting on your computer provides the glow. It all just depends on the person who is making the plane or the field. Once you put a bright color against a dark background, bam, you have glow. We've had this on AFPD for over a year or two.
