Realflight from a fun-flier’s perspective
Hastings, Bob
I enjoy and respect all facets of RC flying, but I was raised to be and at heart, will always remain-a fun-flier. When it was my chance to “take the box,” I chose the Extra Special from the easily navigated menus. RealFlight Deluxe’s replication of the model is stunningly accurate. I’m not just referring to the visual experience, but the overall feel of the model is right there, too. I did all of the regular “loop/ roll/spin/touch-and-go” maneuvers and became completely immersed in my time at the virtual flying field. It you want to try a bigger prop or less pitch, or to move the CG, these “pit tasks” can be finessed onscreen. How about a different engine, faster servo transit, or less wind? Hundreds of airframe, atmosphere and engine parameters are available for you to tweak. It’s evident that RealFlight Deluxe was designed with significant input from RC modelers. This sim is a great way to try new maneuvers, experiment with setups and learn new disciplines. Rea/Flight Deluxe is as close to RC piloting as you’ll get without using glue.
