you will notice that the severity of the stalls has also increased; forcing the pilot
to react faster to stalls and other similar flight characteristics.
Custom-
Custom will be selected if you made changes to the default settings for physics
speed, flight model, autopilot assist or fuel consumption. If you wish to adjust
the physics parameters to fit your skill level, click the Custom Tab at the top of
the Physics gadget. The following options are available.
• Physics Speed – Expressed as a percentage, this value controls the time
scale of the simulation. Reducing the value allows you to create a
slow-motion effect. This is useful when learning new skills or
maneuvers; slowing the aircraft’s reaction time.
• Flight Model – This setting can range from “Easy” to “Realistic”. At
an Easy setting, the aircraft are easier to fly than in real life. This is
especially true at slow speeds. If set to Realistic, RealFlight 6.5
simulates real life aerodynamics in every way, including abrupt loss of
lift during an aerodynamic stall. Setting the Flight Model to something
in between will provide a compromise.
