• Viewport- You can open up a picture-in-picture display and treat it as an
independent “window on the world”. You can individually adjust each of the
viewport’s vantage points, zoom level, and direction of view.
• Multiplayer- You can fly with many other RealFlight 6.5 owners. Participate
in online competitions, or just enjoy the thrill of flying around with one
another. This feature can also be used to learn new maneuvers from pilots
across the street or around the world.
• Combat Events- Compete in Streamer Cut, Paintball, Rocket and Machine
Gun combat. Or combine racing and combat in an exciting match of
DeadRinger™. Plug in a headset and microphone to your computer and chat
live during these contests.
• Animated control surfaces and retracts- Control surfaces, retracts,
propellers, and rotor blades move for added realism.
• Aircraft exhaust/smoke- You can control the color, density, “hang time”,
and other parameters related to airplane and helicopter smoke and exhaust.
• Streamers- Add streamers to any aircraft, to any location, in any color. Watch
as they corkscrew behind the airplane during a roll, or react accordingly to the
wind and the propwash.
• Flight Failures- RealFlight can simulate many common flight failures (radio
interference, stuck servos, engine failures, etc.). Use this feature to prepare for
emergencies at the field.
• Fully editable aircraft paint/decal schemes- Create customized trim
schemes for your aircraft. (To design your own paint scheme, you must use a
third-party program that edits TGA files.)
• Launcher- RealFlight 6.5’s Launcher allows for easy one-click access to
program upgrades, online registration, and technical support.
• Extensive Help materials- RealFlight 6.5 features extensive online tool tips
and diagrams, a detailed manual, and technical support to enhance your
enjoyment of the program.
