Introduction
Welcome to the RealFlight 6.5 R/C
Flight Simulator
ealFlight 6.5 is without question, the most advanced R/C aircraft simulation
available. RealFlight 6.5 is so technologically advanced and so realistic, you’ll
find it hard to believe that it’s only a simulation. The culmination of over
fifteen years of development and design, RealFlight 6.5 offers advancements
that will serve to fine-tune the flying skills of even the most seasoned R/C veteran. If
you’re an entry-level R/C-er, RealFlight 6.5 is the ideal way to learn to fly, practice
maneuvers, feel the effects of design modifications, or just have an incredible amount
of fun.
RealFlight 6.5 includes over 100 models that look and fly like the real thing, plus a
multitude of flying sites (each with their own unique “feel” and distinctive
characteristics). In addition, RealFlight 6.5 offers its users the most powerful, flexible
aircraft and flying site editors ever unveiled to the modeling community; allowing
modelers to experiment with a virtually unlimited number of parameters. RealFlight
6.5 enables you to change the look and feel of a flying site with nothing more than a
few keystrokes, a click of the mouse and a little imagination. The integrated
AccuModel™ aircraft editor makes modifying aircraft just as easy.
RealFlight 6.5 also offers a wide array of tools to help you understand how to use the
program and how to improve your R/C piloting skills. This extensive manual explains
every feature and option; as well as how to use them. We offer a number of training
aids and assistance including (but not limited to): our Virtual Flight Instruction, Heli
Hover Trainer, Airplane Hover Trainer, Takeoff and Landing Trainer, Heli
Autorotation Trainer and Heli Orientation Trainer. These helpful training aids provide
on-the-fly learning opportunities, and we encourage you to take full advantage of them.
No other R/C simulator goes further to enrich your R/C experience.
