G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

Oh yeah! Go to the realflight tech support board--> announcements for the tech code and instructions!

I've started downloading it now!

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

It looks to be a beta release. Keep that in mind.

And has anyone on dialup gotten a successful install? how long did it take?

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

um, yeah, that's why the title says "Public BETA"

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I did the update at work in 5-10 minutes..

Your DL times may vary.. We have dual DS3's to the net :)

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I think it took me about 15min with cable internet. The night flying is pretty cool (graphic intensive), but the heli training is brutal!

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I just tried multiplayer what a blast (midairs).

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

What does this download onto? The cd or.....? It might be a dumb question, but I don't have g3 yet.

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

Okay. When you purchase G3, when you start it, it starts a "launcher". From here you can have it automatically update new versions as it comes out. G3 out of the box is okay, but once you update it, the program is a lot better (more planes, photo fields, and enhancements to the physics engines. 3.5 adds (supposedly) better physics, night flying, new training options, etc.

That training is brutal! I got to level 4 and I was exhausted trying to get the heli lined up correctly! It work so well though. I could tell I was getting better with just a 15 minute sit down!

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I just tried out 3.5 beta and it installed without problems (except that it couldn't find my start menu shortcuts because I moved the originals). I tried out the hover training....
Unbelievable! This is exactly what I needed. Worth the price of the software alone. It teaches you controls one control at a time and then allows you to manage two controls then all controls... Exceptional training aid!!!

Looks like they retracted the upgrade, for a while.

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

Geez...that lasted all of 4 hours. [>:]

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I take that back, it is still available.

Enter Main Discussion Board, the Knife Edge News and Announcements.

Instructions on getting access to the beta server in there...

Sscherin,
Is your G3 installed at work? Do you have a way to transfer the install from work to home?

Near as I can tell, G3's support doesn't offer a way to download an updater. You have to "download" through the installer and that updates the program. Users can't get a copy that's transportable, only an updated install.

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I've got G3 installed on my computer at home and my Dad's computer at his place, and I've never had trouble updating either one. You just have to download it to each computer you have it installed on.

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I must be doing something wrong, I tried to downlaod 3.5 last night and it stated that I have the latest edition. I have dial-up, Is that the problem or did I try to download wrong?

If your on dial up I'd create a restore point in XP just in case one of the files gets corrupt and screws up your g3 installation.

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

Yea I've got dial up and it won't let me down load the update because of aol's fire wall;

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

I had the problem with G3 saying I had the latest version. I cleared the download cache and everything worked OK.

RE: G3.5 public beta is HERE!
 

Is it just me or is their website down? Could anyone tell me how to do the update until their site comes back.
