|  woot! got my new RC simulator!
step 1: buy a brand new computer step 2 buy the just released G4 (RC flight simulator http://www.realflight.com/ ) step 3 max out the video card settings step 4 install g4 and raise all the graphic settings step 5 go over to dads place and hook it up to his 42" plasma TV and surround sound :eek: the pics dont even come close to doing it justice, it was incredible  soooo crisp and vibrant.       even got dad in on it flying a CX2 (hes got one he flys in the garage)   was awesome, cant wait to head over there on my lunch break and do some more flying |

TV resolution is not even close to true Monitor Resolution. 1080p can't touch the resolution, or refresh rate of a 19" Desktop monitor. I mean I like the novelty of big screens, but I'm just stating the facts of the TV monitor versus a PC monitor. |

What are you talking about? 1080p is 1920x1080. Find a 19" monitor that will display that. the best i can find is 1400x900. Who cares about refresh rate? As long as it doesn't ghost, i could care less if its 2ms or 20ms | |

Pixel size also becomes and issue. Here's just a few quick samples of monitors in 19" pushing 1280 x 1024: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824138034 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824197018 Not to steal Stang's post, I'm sorry Stang. Can you compare RealFlight 3.5 to 4? Have you played both? | |

You make no sense whatsoever. How can you even compare the two? Your 1280x1024 is a jacked up resolution right off the bat. Maybe its your native resolution but its 5:4 so your picture isn't going to be scaled correctly if you run it full screen. HD is based on the 16:9 aspect ratio so to even try and compare it is ignorant. Based on your math, a 15" monitor with a resolution of 1129x903 is 1080p.  pixel size is irrelevant. Computer monitors demand smaller pixels since you are so close to them. Tv's can have larger pixels because you don't sit 3 feet away from them. | |

I messed with this "game" at the hobby shop the other day and was crashing a heli all over the place. I have never flown anything RC, but in 10 minutes of playing around, I was startin' to do stunts.....and crash even more. |

Where do you guys download planes from? I have a real Cx2 heli (along with some other planes) and I would love to have one for G4, also what exactly did you use to connect to your HDTV, I have one in the house as well, and this seems like a pretty cool idea since the game has awesome graphics but as soon as you are flying far away your plane is a pinprick on the screen (like real life, granted). let me know |
