RE: Real Flight G3!
I think one very important issue is being overlooked with the new G3 for former G2 and g2 Lite owners.
The system requirements is going to be heavy for the new G3 version. This software is really going to need a newer computer system which everyone doesn't own. The G3 requirements aren't listed yet but if the system is parallel to, if not better than Reflex XTR, then the computer system is really going to need a make over for older G2 owners using older (3-4 y/o systems). Below are G2 and Reflex XTR minimum requirements. I'm sure nobody wants to buy a new computer to be able to use one software program. Remember, these are the minimum requirements.
G2 Minimum System Requirements
•Windows® XP*, 2000*, ME, 98 (Local administrator access required)
•Intel® Pentium® 300 or equivalent
•Dire X™ 8 (or above) compatible video and sound card
•3D accelerated video card with 8 MB (or more) RAM (VooDoo 1 and VooDoo 2 video cards are not supported)
•64 MB RAM
•500 MB hard drive space
•4X CD-ROM drive
Optimum System Requirements
Optimum System Requirements
•Intel Pentium 600 or equivalent
•3D accelerated video card with 16 MB (or more) RAM (VooDoo 1 and VooDoo 2 video cards are not supported)
•128 MB RAM
Reflex XTR Minimum system requirements
• 1.2GHz PC Pentium 4 processor
• 256MB RAM
• 1GB available disc space
• DirectX 8.1-capable 3D hardware accelerated video card with at least 32MB video RAM (AGP2x or better; shared RAM is not supported)
• CD drive
• USB port
• RC transmitter with student or DSC socket and at least 4 channels
• Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000 or XP operating system
A older system will probably work, but will not be as smooth.
