G4

[bighead93]

Tried it today-not much different-water is nice

[casey g]

to me its a lot different and i like it!!

[bighead93]

Really...it looks nice...but I won't spend another $200 to land on water...or have landing gear that gives when I land!

[casey g]

um ya its a lot better imo but i agree 200 bucks. i think u get a 25 $ rebate if u had g3 or g3.5

[bighead93]

I didn't like the way the Yak 54 3-D's...the graphics look better...there is a $50 Cash rebate or a $75 merchandise cash...maybe down the road...but I would rather spend $200 at 3dxhobbies.com!

Hi Guys,

I got it last week and think it's pretty cool. The new Tx feels alot better (closer to my DX7)
I knew there was a significant difference when I imported the FoilZ 540..... flies sooo much better.

Casey have you tried the AirfoilZ planes yet? Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Anyways, here's a small clip I made the other day, mainly showin off the new water feature.

Very nice flying Coonak! Yes, I agree that the Airfoilz planes in G3.5 do not fly right. I am not sure if it is because of the design of the models or that the G3.5 does not handle the physics correctly.

I have been flying some larger gas planes (Extra 330 L and QQ Pitts) and they seem so easy to fly. I am wondering if they really fly that nice as if they do, I may have to by a 40%'er.

What did you use to do the video with and what size did you post it to You tube? It seems that when I upload a video, it is not very good quality.

Thanks,

I use a proggy called FRAPS. You can download it from anywhere if you Google it and you should be able to find it complete with serial #! ;)
(If not PM me your email address and I'll send it to ya.... it's only a couple of mb)
That particular vid was 42mb after I squashed it down using Windows Movie Maker.

Thanks

I think the graphics are better in G4 and the Airfoilz Yak handles more like the real plane does. I never flew it in G3.5 because it was nothing like the real plane.

Great...now I need to spend another $200!!

[bighead93]

I spent a little more time on G-4 today and I do notice a little difference...it is better...I really like the way the landing gear responds to ground contact!

I know, it really blows that they do not offer an upgrade. But I am going to sell my old one on eBay like I did when I upgraded from G2 to G3.

One other thing, the controller is more like my DX7 where the G3 one was cheesy.

I played a little more today...it really is better!! Looks like I may try and sell mine on e-bay as well!

[bighead93]

Heck yeah!! During the day there is no kids around! Not a bad way to spend a lunch break!!
