The new G3 is very good. I've used the Ikarus Pro, is good also but the G3 is more realistic. It takes into consideration many things we don't think of like gravity, inertia, etc. The down side is it needs a high end computer to take advantage of all it can do. A P4 2.8(or equal) with 1Gig of Ram and a 256Mb video card. A 5200 works but a 5700 will run it without flicker with all options on, at any of the fling fields.

KE software dosent recomend the 5200 at all with G3. I found a thread in another (other than RCU) forum. where the development manager and one of the programmers have a thread.. The NVIDIA 4600 and 4800 are actually faster cards than the 5200.. they are also having certain issues with the 5200.. I read all 380 posts on that forum. they say for best results ati 9600 or anything down to 5200 excluding 5200..

personally i have a 4800 and mine runs it fine at 60 frames a sec but im also killing some of my graphics to get that speed. which is still not burning the world up... If you get under 30 FPS you will notice flicker because the eye can catch up to 30 FPS and detects it as flicker..

interestingly enough on my AFP im getting 68 FPS with a photorealistc background so on mine the are running about the same frame rate with either.
