I have three questions about G5.

To "avoid upsetting the apple cart, physics changes are not applied to user developed aircraft". So there is no way for a user to create an aircraft just for G5 that utilises the improved physics?

Is multi-player really performing better? That would be the number one reason for me to upgrade, along with the fact that due to the upgrade being available from 3.5 also the multi skies should be fuller.

Does performance degrade signifigantly when installing G5 on the same computer that ran 4.5 well? I can see the "required specs" haven't changed but sometimes you can take that with a shaker-full of salt. I usually V-synch but before I altered the default settings 4.5 was 300+ FPS.

Re: Physics

The airfoil lift changes and adjustments do not currently apply to user created aircraft.

Jim B. mentioned that this was done purposely to avoid causing problems with existing models, and that in a future update these changes would be propegated to all planes, which may require some tweaking of user created aircraft.

That said other changes DO apply to user created models.

Re: Multiplayer

YES MUCH better.

Re: Performance

I've seen no degradation in G5 compared to G4. If anything I've seen an improvement.
