NOTE: Although Real Flight G4 is out, it requires a much fast computer with a modern
DirectX 9 graphics card. If your computer is older and does
not meet the minimum requirements, you may want to consider Real Flight
G3.5 which runs on older computers.
There is so much you can do with RealFlight G3.5!
The beginning pilot will find that G3.5 has so much more information and training tools than the simulators of old, where a beginner was forced to struggle and explore, trying to figure out on their own how to control the model. An intermediate pilot can learn the traits of a huge range of models, figuring out what specialties interest him before he's ever purchased a first scale, sport, aerobatic, electric, glider, or other specialty aircraft. The expert pilot will find that the exceptional RealPhysics makes G3.5 the perfect place to be practicing -- be it scale, 3D, slope and now even 4D! -- learning new or working out competitive routines. Or he may choose to just keep his reflexes sharp while enjoying some of the great games and exercises provided.
Bottom line, whether you've never had a simulator before, or whether you've owned every generation of every sim ever made, G3.5 definitely has something to offer.
RealFlight G3.5 has all of these extras, and more:
RealFlight G3.5 also has these new features:
Multiplayer collisions — where pilots flying simultaneously on the Internet can crash into one another.
Particles — a special effect that will kick up dust when a plane is landing on dirt, create balsa ‘chaff’ as a model breaks apart, or causes leaves to shake free and fall to the ground if an aircraft crashes into the trees.
Night Flying — over a 3D Carnival site! - in Night Flying mode, planes with neon rope lights fly across a twilight landscape featuring a variety of carnival rides and attractions, including a Ferris wheel, roller coaster, haunted house, ring toss and more. Available for heli’s, too!
4-Dimensional Flying - RealFlight’s renowned RealPhysics™ 3D performance has been further refined to accurately capture the jaw-dropping aerobatics now possible with a plane equipped with a Variable Pitch prop system!
Streamers - streamers can be attached to airplanes to add pizzazz to freestyle maneuvers.
Responsive Objects - where hitting a limbo bar will knock it off of its supports, or hitting a barrel will cause it to roll along the ground.
Virtual Sound Effects - When flying over certain objects on the terrain, pilots will hear corresponding sounds, such as the mooing of a cow or the hum of a tractor’s diesel engine.
Torque Roll Training - Airplane pilots will be able to “hang” a plane in mid-air! They’ll also be able to choose what controls they want, and have the computer handle the rest — a real shortcut to learning torque rolls!
Helicopter Orientation Training - This feature limits the number of control surfaces a new pilot has to deal with, and utilizes a “ghost” heli as a visual aid. As a pilot’s skills progress, the number of control surfaces can be increased.
Sensory Environmental Elements™ (SEE) - some flying sites contain features like tractor exhaust, chimney smoke, or a water fountain. These Sensory Environmental Elements (SEE) enhance your overall flying experience. You'll also see leaves move in the wind and dust clouds form when you crash in dirt. it's all part of the total flying experience created in RealFlight G3.5.
Your favorite features continued from G3!
Over 5000 square miles of flying fun: The largest flying regions of any R/C simulator - created from hundreds of MB of satellite imagery and digital elevation data. You may run out of fuel before you run out of new scenery to explore.
Backgrounds that are anything but static: Generation 3 goes far beyond the 2-dimensional, "billboard" look of other simulators. It's a living, breathing environment - fliers can immerse themselves in the realism. Trees sway in the background; clouds on the horizon follow a path of the prevailing winds; glare increases and subsides in relation to the position of the sun. Background objects even reflect off of the aircraft.
Incredible flight performance of RealPhysics 3D™: RealFlight G3.5's new RealPhysics 3D physics engine was put through demanding tests and trials by world-class modelers. They all agree that aircraft on G3 fly more realistically than ever before - in fact, this simulator sets unprecedented standards for accuracy in exciting high alpha flight.
Break-apart aircraft: As is the case in real R/C flying, modelers may shear a wing off of their aircraft if they are too careless. The aircraft continues its flight, while accurately reflecting the lost parts.
Accumodel™ - An easier and more powerful aircraft editor: Any modifications that a pilot wants to make to a plane are graphically represented on the wire-frame model, and reflected instantly on-screen - just as the sound will change when swapping a 2-blade prop for a 3-blade, or changing pitch or diameter.
Unparalleled collision detection: Unlike other simulators that have just a few collision points, Generation 3 utilizes a triangle-to-triangle, impulse-based micro detection system that "blankets" the entire aircraft with a network of collision detection points.
Superior wind modeling: Instead of just one general wind field for the entire simulation, G3 features five wing fields to account for even the smallest detail. As winds collide, the strength and direction vary accordingly, and airplanes and gliders will feel the "bump" as they approach the top of a mountain or hill.
FlexiField™: Airport creating that's easy to use. With "drap-and-drop" simplicity, modelers can create entirely new airports using the mouse and just a few keyboard strokes.
360 degree "walk-around" preview option: After the selected plane appears on screen, it revolves continuously. using the mouse it can be viewed from any angle. When changing trim schemes, you immediately see the alternate model in the preview box.
The InterLink™ Plus controller is new and improved: The MultiMode feature on the InterLink Plus controller allows you to connect an additional InterLink or standard radio transmitter to the simulation. A push-button on the InterLink Plus controller allows for rapid, keyboard-free model reset.
Split-creen capability: G3 split-screen capability takes advantage of the InterLink Plus Multi-Mode function. Multiple players on the same PC can fly together or conduct personalized training sessions.
Heads Up NavGuides™: The NavGuide display allows you to view flight information right on the scree, including Altitude, AirSpeed, Heading and more. There are dozens of options that can be displayed.
MultiCam™: Change viewpoints quickly and easily. View the action from anywhere you wish. MultiCam enables multiple Picture-in-Picture views looking at the same plane from different angles, an alternate view of the field, viewing different aircraft altogether, or anything you choose. Resize and position these anywhere you like on the screen. And with a simple click of the mouse you can change the camera angle of any viewpoint, including the main screen.
Advance flight recording and playback: You are able to record and play back your own flights. These recordings also make great use of the onscreen transmitter, allowing you to watch stick movements during the recording. And if you have a microphone attached to your computer, record audio at the same time, and RealFlight will automatically synchronize it during playback.
Minimum System Requirements: (RealFlight needs AT LEAST these minimum standards to run with minimal features turned ON.) Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME and 98 Local administrator access required for Windows Vista, XP and 2000 Intel Pentium 1.0GHz or equivalent DirectX 9 (or above) compatible video and sound card 3D accelerated video card and 32MB (or more) RAM 256MB RAM 2.0GB hard drive space
Optimum System Requirements: (RealFlight performs best with these settings or better.) Intel Pentium 3.0GHz or equivalent 3D accelerated video card with 128MB (or more) RAM and vertex shader support 1 GB RAM
Note: A modern video card is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Make sure your card is Direct X9 feature compatible.
