This is really strange I had realflight g2 on one of my work computers :rolleyes: running win98 dualboot win2000 geforce DDR 512 megs ram and a 700 mhz cpu overclocked to 1008mhz oh and its a Asus P34VX board with the VIA chipset. I never had a problem everything has work great including the transmitter interface no gliches whatso ever.

Now I just finished building a new machine with the Asus cusl2-c board that has the Intel 815ep chipset on it. 256 megs ram, geforce2mx win98 aureal vortex sound card 550 mhz cpu overclocked to 803mhz. Everything is rock solid stable except realflight.
I installed version one flew for a bit and noticed that I was getting major control gliches.
Sometimes they would just be minor rudder gliches that made the tail wag or throttle cliches, but other times you could be coming in for a landing and the plane would do a snap roll or just nose dive into the ground. I recalibrated the controller several times to noavail.
I then upgraded to G2 to see if it would solve the problem but it didnt, the gliches are always there.

Next I tried my other transmitter the first one was a JR so I swithed to my Futaba and its the same problem with both.
If i take the transmiter interface off and stick back on my work machine everything is fine, Realflight runs with no glitches.

Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this :confused:

Sorry you are having problems but at the same time I glad to see someone else with the same problem I have. This "glitch" thing is happening to me on both my Athlon 700 runing Win 98, and on my E-Machines Pentium 4 1500 running Windows XP and with both my Futaba 8U and JR8103. I have downloaded all the latest drivers, etc, and it still happens.... Think it has anything to do with the parallel port that the interface uses(IRQ, address, DMA)?

I sure hope someone can help us...

This is probably obvious to you but do you have the flight problems turned off?

Wish I could'a thought of something funny to put here.

just read this somewhere.

Go to start,
settings,
control panel,
gaming options,
controler ID
check mark block that says "polling with int." or something similar.

This is all in windows not RF.

hope this helps...

I've started having the same problem. Thinking back, it only started happening when I upgraded to a newer release. Everyone here seems to be saying they're on the latest release as if it's a good thing (which it should be) - just wonder if you go back to the std install with no upgrades the problems disappear? Will try it tonight!

The newer releases only fix problems, and unfortunately introduce problems in some systems where there were none there before. Some of those might be bad installations.

IF, your system was running fine on the release before, you should not upgrade. You had all of the features and no problems.

You can got to the upgrade site to install a specific version.
