Great Planes Realflight Simulator Review: Realflight G4.5
The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 is the recently-released upgrade to the very popular Great Planes RealFlight Simulator. The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 includes take offs and landings on water – a very welcome addition to the delightful water-based scenery available in the Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G3.5.
Flying RC models is a roller coaster – the high of getting a great performance out of your aircraft is followed by the low when your model comes down a bit harder than anticipated – and it’s back to the workshop for repairs. The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 helps RC fliers, whether beginners or world champions, to raise their flying skills to a new level without risking their prized models.
The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 requires significantly more of your computer hardware than the Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G3.5. The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 needs a minimum 512 MB of RAM, and to use its impressive graphics capability to its full advantage, it requires 2 GB of RAM. The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G3.5, on the other hand, runs happily with a meagre 256 MB of RAM.
