I just upgraded today. Bought the G4 from K/C Hobby in Archdale, NC at the WSRC Swap Meet for an appreciably better price than Tower's price (and Tower won't have them until middle December). And sold my G3. (good swap meet)
And from what I've seen so far, the upgrade was a very good move. I like to fly my Ultimate in the Alpine Valley. And this Ultimate flies pretty much like my RW one.
Time to go see how other things have changed. And look at painting up an Ultimate to match my WM 46 size.
It's interesting that a lot of people are complimenting KnifeEdge on how well the planes fly, complimenting them on the improved physics ... and KnifeEdge is telling them that there have been
no changes in the physics. So, how can planes fly better if nothing's changed? I think it's the old psychological factor - you paid $200 for this so your brain tells you it's got to be better - even though it's not!
johndou,
From what I've seen so far, the upgrade was a very good move. I like to fly my Ultimate in the Alpine Valley and in the past got a bit of background blurring which is now gone. And I particularly enjoy the Ultimate in this version almost exactly as I did in the last version. With the distraction of the older version gone, it's very enjoyable to fly now, whereas before it was nice enough. It's always nice to have something you like to do improved even slightly. As for paying $200 for the thing, I believe I mentioned the price I paid was appreciably better than Tower's. And with the rebate, the price beats the dickens out of $200. I've not noticed anything different about the flight physics. Where did you read that I did.
I'm sorry - you said that the Ultimate flew better with G4 ... "And this Ultimate flies pretty much like my RW one." that, to me indicated that it was flying better then it did in G3. Sorry for the mis-understanding. I'm glad that you feel like you got a good deal ... most people who have already bought G4 have paid $200.
I'm surpirsed to hear that you're getting better performance with G4 then you were with G3 - no more blurring background at Alpine Valley - most people seem to be seeing the opposite because they've had to turn down their graphics settings so much to get decent FPS (screen rates).
