Howdy,
I'm contemplating buying the newest Rocksim, and though I realize its 95 bucks, before I do, I've a few questions for current users of the software..
1) Does this come with all of the currently certified motors ?
A) Is it fairly easy to add in new certified motors ?.
2) Does this come with updated parts from say companies like Fliskits ?
A)If not, does someone have a listing of companies that they do cover ?
3) In regards to side pods - could I add small diameter dowel rods to a design so that I'd know flight characteristics, drag etc. ?
Would come in handy for some designs I'm dying to try, but with Rocksim 5, I can't even save or re-open any designs - and this seems like a must have capability.
4) In regards to the current version - for those that have been lifers with this software, when they do an upgrade to the next version - as a newer owner of the software - would I be required to pay for the update again ?
I ask only because if there are plans to update the software to Ver 8, then I may hold off till thats available, so I don't wind up spending an extra 50 bucks or so.
5) Would it be worth buying the CD version ?
My reasoning is I don't have a problem burning the original d/l to CD-RW for backup/reinstall, but I was wondering if the boxed/CD version comes with a manual. If not, I do know its supposed to have a large Help system built in. If not, its not a big deal - just curious.
Many thanks,
