No joking. :D


Also backup your custom heli's. Then new install will get rid of them. :DOH :arggg:

It kept my modified choppers, just added a new folder for them, BUT it will not communicate with older versions in multiplayer.
Pretty cool overall though, now to try it on my laptop.

Well Realflight strikes again with its "i hope nobody copies my crap" mentality...i tried to do the update and got an error saying something was missing....i uninstalled G3 and reinstalled to solve the problem....now i cant reregister because it says my serial number isnt authorised.....i went through this same $#@! with G2 when i would reinstall.......now i cant solve the problem till Monday when there customer support :roll: gets back in the office.....I paid 200 bucks for this sim and they say im unauthorised......im getting pretty sick of it. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb:

If you uninstall, you need to remember to _not_ check the box to delete your custom aircraft. The update should not affect your custom aircraft. I installed the update on my home machine last night and did not lose mine.

now i cant solve the problem till Monday when there customer support
Vance,

I'm sorry you're having problems with the update. If you remember the password that you used to register the software the first time, you should be able to re-register using that same password without any trouble. You should only need to contact product support if you can't remember the password.

From the launcher, click Additional Options | Registration/Updates | Online Registration... Fill out the form as required and then enter the password you used before. After that you should be good to go.

We at Knife Edge aren't extremely worried about pirates. The problem is that the online update/registration mechanism was copied straight from G2. If we ever get to create a completely new product I doubt that it will have such security measures.

I did not do a uninstall, and it wiped out all my custom models. No big deal I should have back them up.

[BigVanVader]

I went to online registration and remember my password...when it tries to send the information to the realflight server it says that the server thinks its an unauthorised serial number.

[BigVanVader]

Is there an FTP site where i can download the update without going through the online update server?

[Dan Lewis]

Vance - sorry the update blew up on ya... my update went super smooth & quick... no lost registration or models. This update has saved me from what I thought was heading toward some regret - I sold xtr a few weeks ago. This is 'better' than xtr! The physics really shine through when the cpu isn't loaded down. Wish I could help with your install. Let me know when you're rolling so we can online again.

[BigVanVader]

Well,I got my registration problems solved today with a call to customer support...unfortunately ill still have to wait till the upcoming weekend to download the update.....it seems that to update to 410 is a 157mg download...im on dialup at 28.8....it would take me 15 hours and 32 minutes to download......ill be making a trip to Rodneys this weekend to leech off his cable modem :mrgreen:

[WillJames]

Downloading the update now. Thanks for the heads-up guys.

Yea Baby!!

Hey guys nice work Vitek!!

I really like hte pho realistic sod farm. I find this MUCH brighter and easier for me to see the heli. I just hover around the field until I have the perfect light, and fly. ;) Real Cool. Great job thank you!

All my settings and custom helis stayed through the upgrade with no issues. The program itself seems to run faster. Right now I have Outlook Express, HeliFreak.com, Skype, MSN Messenger for work all open, and G3 is running very nice and quick framerate in a window to and full 1024x768.

Definite upgrade for G3. :banana

I got a fat pipe! :lol: :lol: :lol:

7MB so it times no time at all

I played with the update some last night as my brother called and wanted some flight instruction. A couple things still definitely seem odd but the fields look very nice. An indoor gym with some decent foamy style airplanes would be nice. Anyway, it is a nice update. The multilplayer also seems to work fairly well as that is about all I use the sim for. It is a nice instructional tool.

From what I hear he needs a lot of instruction..... oh wait, I resemble that remark. :oops:

Evan

[WayneBrown]

well let some of us other needy folks know when you are doing instruction!!

[R-4-L]

man, nice update, best thing about it is the Anti-Skid feature, the heli doesn't yaw when starting to fly! and the canopy actually breaks this time!

[Bonsai]

I really like the new photofields..do you think in the future we will get the music back? :dontknow
