I got G2 shortly after it came out and I've NEVER been able to update from the primary server. I've only succeeded twice in updating through the control panel. Any other times, I always end up with corrupted files and G2 no longer runs. I always have to manually download the files from a site that Real Flight support gives me. When I do that, the update always works.

Don't know what the big secret is about updating. Why can't they do things like any other software supplier does, just allow you to download updated files.

I won't buy G3, software released early, is buggy and requires that its customers be beta testers.
