<b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>RealFlight G5!</span></b><br>
<br>
RealFlight G5 is here -- and look out, this one is ready for battle! How would<br>
you like to go head-to-head in aerial combat with 31 of your closest friends
(or enemies)?<br>
G5 can make that happen, with four different combat events. Outfit your
aircraft<br>
with streamers...arm them with rockets...fire machine guns or paintball
markers.<br>
RealFlight G5's new combat feature brings an exciting new dimension to R/C<br>
simulator flying.<br>
<br>
G5 also has greatly enhanced Multiplayer capabilities. Now, up to 32 pilots can<br>
fly together over the internet or an LAN. You can host a <i>huge</i> fun fly or
dogfight<br>
to your heart's content -- with models that are instantly repairable, and
without<br>
spending gas money traveling to events.<br>
<br>
Voice Chat, too, has been improved over previous versions. Using your headset,
you'll<br>
be able to talk in real time with everyone else in the Multiplayer session.<br>
<br>
<b>Combat...what's it all about?</b><br>
<br>
RealFlight's new combat features are impressive to say the least. Four
different<br>
basic games are available: Streamer Cut, Rocket Wars, Combat and Paintball.
G5's<br>
targeting system lets you to select an opponent and track him throughout the
virtual<br>
world. When you get your targeting pips on him...<i>fire</i>!<br>
<br>
In <b>Streamer Cut</b>, all participating aircraft are equipped with different
colors<br>
of streamers. You receive points each time you clip an opponent's streamer.
Points are<br>
displayed on the Scoreboard Multiplayer gadget -- and they're deducted if you
crash.<br>
You can fly from a fixed point on the simulation or from one of G5's many new
points<br>
of view (more about this later).<br>
<br>
<b>Rocket Wars</b> is your editor's favorite -- lots of noise, smoke, and fire!
Make<br>
no mistake, a great deal of skill is required to score a kill. These rockets
don't<br>
track their intended target. But if they get close, they'll explode and score
on it.<br>
Flying from the cockpit is especially fun and challenging in this mode. You'll
see<br>
rockets go by and hear them exploding behind you...and you'll know when you've
been hit.<br>
Of course, hitting the red button gets you back up and flying instantly.<br>
<br>
<b>Combat</b> incorporates both rockets and machine guns, and it can get crazy.
If<br>
you miss your opponent with a rocket from long range, you can try to get him
from up<br>
close with your guns. But remember: He's trying to get <i>you</i>, too.<br>
<br>
Now it's time to get messy. Like Combat, <b>Paintball</b> can be wild at times.
Paint<br>
splatters everywhere. And just as with real paintball markers, the speed of the
paint<br>
balls is not that fast -- you'd better lead your target well. Each airplane has
a<br>
different paint color, so you'll know who is after you. Both the new Sopwith
Pup and<br>
the big P-51 are available for this scenario. You may want to start with the
slower<br>
speed of the Sopwith, as a P-51 battle can really heat up!<br>
<br>
<b>Multiplayer enhancements</b><br>
<br>
Thirty-two different pilots can now fly at the same time in a Multiplayer
session.<br>
Even with this many flying at the same time, the frame rate remains very fast.
And<br>
with the enhanced Voice Chat, your conversations are basically as good as being
face<br>
to face.<br>
<br>
In G5, the host can automate a Multiplayer session, setting up different flying<br>
scenarios from a fun fly to all-out combat. The computer can automatically
switch from<br>
event to event after a host-determined amount of time. If you wish, set up
multiple<br>
game lists with your favorite events; then, just select a menu item to run the
game.<br>
G5 comes with several pre-programmed scenarios, too.<br>
<br>
New game gadgets are also available to enhance your Multiplayer experience --
including<br>
Pilot status, targeting and targeting ring. And you'll be able to create and
share your<br>
own pilot profile, choosing an avatar, name, location, tagline, favorite color
and more.<br>
The profile keeps track of how many hours you log on RealFlight. That number
can be scary<br>
at times!<br>
<br>
<b>Camera views</b><br>
<br>
G5 could become the version of RealFlight known as the "pick-a-view"
version. When<br>
flying at a 3D site, you'll have many different views available...and you can
add<br>
even more.<br>
<br>
A few of the views available with many of the aircraft are: fixed (ground);
cockpit (some<br>
cockpits now have incredible details); nose; chase; wing (looking at aircraft);
tail camera;<br>
looking back at the aircraft and looking out over a wing. These can all be
toggled from<br>
the keyboard or selected via the menu.<br>
<br>
Not enough views for you? Add more! You can add multiple cameras to the
aircraft<br>
anywhere you'd like. You can place them out in front, to the side, behind,
under or<br>
over -- even make them movable. You name it, it can probably be done with the
aircraft<br>
editor. During a combat game, try a cockpit view that pivots to follow the
targeted<br>
aircraft!<br>
<br>
<b>Aircraft and Flying Site Editor</b><br>
<br>
Significant improvements have also been made to these editors. You now have
different<br>
backgrounds to select, and different screen layouts to better suit your needs.
Adding<br>
components is simpler than ever before.<br>
<br>
Do we have your attention yet? We hope so -- but this newsletter hasn't even
begun to<br>
highlight everything about G5 that's newsworthy. Be sure to check out all the
details<br>
at RealFlight.com!<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>Upgrade to G5</span></b><br>
<br>
If you never took the plunge to upgrade from G3 or 3.5 to G4 or 4.5, we have
some very<br>
good news: You can use the older Interlink® Plus controller with the new G5
software,<br>
as well as the current Interlink Elite.<br>
<br>
We also have a great software-only G5 Upgrade package for you -- priced at only
$79.99.<br>
And if you've purchased G4.5 <i>very</i> recently, there's an ever BETTER G5
upgrade<br>
deal waiting for you. Visit RealFlight.com for more information.<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>RealFlight Basic</span></b><br>
<br>
What's RealFlight Basic? Well, some customers want to experience the same great
aircraft<br>
physics as the full version of RealFlight, but with a lower price and fewer
bells and<br>
whistles. So we developed an "essentials only" version of the
simulator.<br>
<br>
RealFlight Basic fits into tight budgets and is still a fine learning tool for
anyone<br>
just getting into radio-control. Know someone looking for the best flight
simulator at a<br>
bargain price? Recommend RealFlight Basic -- they'll be glad you did.<br>
<br>
