You might want to re-read what I wrote ... this was a COMPARISON, with one specific field, one specific craft (a heli) and all settings set to the highest possible! With that configuration frame rates were not flyable. Essentially indicating that no matter what system you have you cannot utilize the graphics qaulities of the graphics card in your system or the program itself. So, with all of the great improvements in the graphics unless you have a $5000 gaming system your not going to see very much improvement ... Me, I'm not a computer gamer, I fly RC ...
So you are basically saying that when the worst field and aircraft are selected, and all graphic options are set to maximum, there are people who get unflyable fps. Yeah? And the conclusion from that is that it's worthless to buy G4.
It would be excellent advice if you'd mention what specific field and heli to avoid. That way the people who wanted to buy G4 for those particular two will know that they may need to turn down some graphics in order to use G4.
No, I'm not saying that loading the worst field and the worst aircraft and setting all of your settings to the highest possible indicates that G4 is worthless ... What I said was that some of the users are making a comparison and to do so they've all loaded ...
http://www.knifeedge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18612 ... And I certainly DIDN'T say that G4 was WORTHLESS!!!
What I said was that even with a very good computer system you will not be able to utilize the program capabilities ... how could that possibly make the program worthless?? If anything it indicates that you're getting a lot for your money ... just not something that you'll be able to use unless you have a very good "gaming" system. Something that most of us don't have. So, Buy G4, just don't expect it to run it at optimum efficiency on your system.
