YEA, but it appears that in that case, the Chevy will work BETTER on my computer than the Rolls-Royce, and at a MUCH MORE REASONABLE COST.

My RealFlight G2 USED TO work just fine on my system with the old printer port controller interface (as long as I DID NOT have a printer hooked up to it at the same time).

However, since "upgrading" to G2 w/Interlink controller, ALL aircraft look the same UGLY gray-scale, the Runways DO NOT show up, the trees keep appearing and disappearing, and "fun-fly events" are COMPLETELY UN-USEABLE. NONE of the event speciffic graphics such as the spot landing target zones show up. The ONLY event that is somewhat useable yet is the Limbo, since NONE of the attempt lines show up, but the limbo pole and ribbon DO show up.

I have been sending e-mails to both Knife-Edge AND Great Planes tech. support, and NEITHER has bothered to reply even to confirm that they received the e-mails, much less trying to do anything to help me solve the "upgrade" induced problems.

For this reason, as soon as I get the funds, I will be upgrading my Dave Brown RCFS to RCFS 2001.

As soon as I get the RCFS upgraded, I'll let you know how much better (or worse) it is than RealFlight G2.

Right now, all I know in comparison of the two, is that I had MUCH FEWER problems with my RCFS than I've had with RealFlight. But the few problems I had with RCFS, Dave Brown's customer service seemed MUCH MORE WILLING to HELP solve my rpoblems than either Great Planes OR Knife-Edge Software seems willing to do.
