Default RE: New G3.5 Upgrade

For me the physics editor is the best part.

If you don't like the plane behavior, or it doesn't reflect how you have yours configured, merely change a few parameters and there you are.

(I believe) I've gotten quite good at it, and can now pick up a few spec sheets, look a few things up on the net and put together the physics for a plane that I've never flown before, that is accurate enough to astound the designer of the RC plane itself.

(See the Jaartworld site for the Jart or RCWarbirds for the Pogo and others...)

That is more of a testament to G3's physics than anything else.


The first time I took up my Funtana I was showing it off to some friends, performing a bunch of stunts.

I had established that I could do these stunts in G3, and tried them all at the field that day.

I actually got quite a number of OOhs and Aaahs, but the real surprise (to them) was when I told them that the only reason I knew how to fly this particular plane and do these stunts with the plane was because I had practiced them all in G3. e.g. I had never done them before.


Anyway back from wild tangent... 3.5 needs tweaking.

Then again so did 3.0 and KE acted upon most of the suggestions making 3.00.448 VERY accurate.

The saga starts again...
