RealFlight 6 not only gives pilots more realistic physics along with an InterLink® Elite Controller that’s configured like a heli transmitter but lots more aircraft are available to choose from as well! Imagine flying a different plane or heli every day for months – it’s all possible with RealFlight 6. In addition to over 85 models, pilots get a choice of an Airplane Mega Pack with 36 additional planes or a Heli Mega Pack with 47 extra helis. Heli experts Brian Bremer, Matt Botos, Bobby Watts and others worked with RealFlight engineers to program increased precision and incredible heli performance for more true-to-life crash results and more precise heli flight characteristics.
RealFlight 6 is the only sim with a reset button – setting it apart from all other simulators on the market. Push the button following a crash and pilots are instantly ready for the next flight. And there’s an instant Rewind as well! Holding down the Reset button rewinds the current flight and lets pilots start flying again from any point. New features like the following make RealFlight 6 the absolute best way to learn to fly:
Safety Alerts: Provides a checklist of safe flying practices pilots should follow when flying their actual model.
Quick Load: Makes loading a new aircraft or flying site super-fast. Pilots just start typing the name, and choices are instantly displayed – ready for selection.
Quick Edit: Pilots can make simple changes to a RealFlight aircraft that will accurately reflect the flight characteristics of their actual R/C model – in just a couple of keystrokes.
Veteran pilots as well as those simply interested in finding out more about radio control recognize RealFlight as the best flight training available. The physics and graphics are so accurate, it’s like flying the actual airplane or heli and RealFlight offers so many choices in aircraft, flying sites and customization, there’s virtually no scenario pilots can’t recreate!
