RealFlight G5!

RealFlight G5 is here -- and look out, this one is ready for battle! How would
you like to go head-to-head in aerial combat with 31 of your closest friends (or enemies)?
G5 can make that happen, with four different combat events. Outfit your aircraft
with streamers...arm them with rockets...fire machine guns or paintball markers.
RealFlight G5's new combat feature brings an exciting new dimension to R/C
simulator flying.

G5 also has greatly enhanced Multiplayer capabilities. Now, up to 32 pilots can
fly together over the internet or an LAN. You can host a huge fun fly or dogfight
to your heart's content -- with models that are instantly repairable, and without
spending gas money traveling to events.

Voice Chat, too, has been improved over previous versions. Using your headset, you'll
be able to talk in real time with everyone else in the Multiplayer session.

Combat...what's it all about?

RealFlight's new combat features are impressive to say the least. Four different
basic games are available: Streamer Cut, Rocket Wars, Combat and Paintball. G5's
targeting system lets you to select an opponent and track him throughout the virtual
world. When you get your targeting pips on him...fire!

In Streamer Cut, all participating aircraft are equipped with different colors
of streamers. You receive points each time you clip an opponent's streamer. Points are
displayed on the Scoreboard Multiplayer gadget -- and they're deducted if you crash.
You can fly from a fixed point on the simulation or from one of G5's many new points
of view (more about this later).

Rocket Wars is your editor's favorite -- lots of noise, smoke, and fire! Make
no mistake, a great deal of skill is required to score a kill. These rockets don't
track their intended target. But if they get close, they'll explode and score on it.
Flying from the cockpit is especially fun and challenging in this mode. You'll see
rockets go by and hear them exploding behind you...and you'll know when you've been hit.
Of course, hitting the red button gets you back up and flying instantly.

Combat incorporates both rockets and machine guns, and it can get crazy. If
you miss your opponent with a rocket from long range, you can try to get him from up
close with your guns. But remember: He's trying to get you, too.

Now it's time to get messy. Like Combat, Paintball can be wild at times. Paint
splatters everywhere. And just as with real paintball markers, the speed of the paint
balls is not that fast -- you'd better lead your target well. Each airplane has a
different paint color, so you'll know who is after you. Both the new Sopwith Pup and
the big P-51 are available for this scenario. You may want to start with the slower
speed of the Sopwith, as a P-51 battle can really heat up!

Multiplayer enhancements

Thirty-two different pilots can now fly at the same time in a Multiplayer session.
Even with this many flying at the same time, the frame rate remains very fast. And
with the enhanced Voice Chat, your conversations are basically as good as being face
to face.

In G5, the host can automate a Multiplayer session, setting up different flying
scenarios from a fun fly to all-out combat. The computer can automatically switch from
event to event after a host-determined amount of time. If you wish, set up multiple
game lists with your favorite events; then, just select a menu item to run the game.
G5 comes with several pre-programmed scenarios, too.

New game gadgets are also available to enhance your Multiplayer experience -- including
Pilot status, targeting and targeting ring. And you'll be able to create and share your
own pilot profile, choosing an avatar, name, location, tagline, favorite color and more.
The profile keeps track of how many hours you log on RealFlight. That number can be scary
at times!

Camera views

G5 could become the version of RealFlight known as the "pick-a-view" version. When
flying at a 3D site, you'll have many different views available...and you can add
even more.

A few of the views available with many of the aircraft are: fixed (ground); cockpit (some
cockpits now have incredible details); nose; chase; wing (looking at aircraft); tail camera;
looking back at the aircraft and looking out over a wing. These can all be toggled from
the keyboard or selected via the menu.

Not enough views for you? Add more! You can add multiple cameras to the aircraft
anywhere you'd like. You can place them out in front, to the side, behind, under or
over -- even make them movable. You name it, it can probably be done with the aircraft
editor. During a combat game, try a cockpit view that pivots to follow the targeted
aircraft!

Aircraft and Flying Site Editor

Significant improvements have also been made to these editors. You now have different
backgrounds to select, and different screen layouts to better suit your needs. Adding
components is simpler than ever before.

Do we have your attention yet? We hope so -- but this newsletter hasn't even begun to
highlight everything about G5 that's newsworthy. Be sure to check out all the details
at RealFlight.com!

Upgrade to G5

If you never took the plunge to upgrade from G3 or 3.5 to G4 or 4.5, we have some very
good news: You can use the older Interlink® Plus controller with the new G5 software,
as well as the current Interlink Elite.

We also have a great software-only G5 Upgrade package for you -- priced at only $79.99.
And if you've purchased G4.5 very recently, there's an ever BETTER G5 upgrade
deal waiting for you. Visit RealFlight.com for more information.

RealFlight Basic

What's RealFlight Basic? Well, some customers want to experience the same great aircraft
physics as the full version of RealFlight, but with a lower price and fewer bells and
whistles. So we developed an "essentials only" version of the simulator.

RealFlight Basic fits into tight budgets and is still a fine learning tool for anyone
just getting into radio-control. Know someone looking for the best flight simulator at a
bargain price? Recommend RealFlight Basic -- they'll be glad you did.

Ciao
bisogna vedere come è questa versione G5, se è la solita pappardella con due effetti non ne vale la pena, se invece fosse qualcosa di mozziafiato, allora bisognerà comprarla assolutamente.
Vorrei vedere prima dei demo per poter giudicare.

Sono dell'idea che se hai già il G4.5 non valga comunque la pena. Diverso invece è per chi ha il vecchio G3 e con meno di 60€ può fare l'upgrade mantenendo il suo interlink.

Se avete comperato recentemente il 4.5 vi offrono l'upgrade a 29.90$...mi sembra una politica che nessun'altra farm applichi....anzi.

qualche video nn si sa d piu?

E' arrivata la stessa mail anche a me. Ho leggiucchiato velocemente, ma mi sembra che non ci siano novità eclatanti nella versione 5, almeno per me che lo uso per impratichirmi con gli elicotteri.

Ciao
ho visto ora su youtube dei filmati sul nuovo G5, hanno messo il combat
la grafica è sempre la stessa, inoltre c'è la possibilità di fare i combattimeti come un simulatore di guerra.
Credo che non spenderò soldi per avere un giochetto.

Secondo me infatti conviene a chi è ancora in possesso del vecchio G3...in quel caso l'upgrade direi che è evidente.

Beh io il 4.5 l'aggiornerei volentieri per 29euro(gicare a sparare con i modellini mi ha sempre affascinato),ma non ho capito bene come farlo.
