Realflight Simulator: Review Of Great Planes Realflight Simulator G4.5
The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5, the topic of this review, is the latest version of the incredibly popular Great Planes RealFlight RC Flight Simulator. New features in the Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 version include new aircraft, a new virtual instructor, and the ability to take off and land on water.
With RealFlight, flight simulator fans have been able to perform amazing aerobatics for over 10 years. Now, RealFlight tops itself by letting you fly float-equipped aircraft on and off water! With the Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5, airplanes and helicopters react realistically when they collide with objects floating in constantly shifting water. Fly in such living, breathing 3D locales as a desert island, Sierra Nevada’s Alpine Lake - even the remains of a pirate ship!
With clear tropical waters and serene mountain lakes, water flying is a visual feast - and the technical flying challenges are tremendous fun to master.
Ask any R/C pilot what affects flight performance the most and they’ll likely respond with an aircraft’s physics. RealFlight is the flight sim that best reproduces realistic flight conditions. Fly in windy weather or crash into objects - both will affect your craft’s handling and performance. With RealFlight G4, you can choose where and what to fly, add floats or streamers - even receive advice from famous pilots!
Flying 4D aerobatics is another challenge to master using RealFlight G4.5. Learn torque rolls and other advanced aerobatic manoeuvres in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Introduce your loved ones to the pleasures of RC flying through an innocuous-appearing “computer game” - and before long, they will be hooked on the hobby, too!
One of RealFlight’s most popular features is its ability to teach new pilots how to fly with Virtual Flight Instructors. Acclaimed pilot John Glezellis continues this tradition by providing you with expert-level coaching tips on how to improve your airplane flying skills. As you listen, picture-in-picture videos simultaneously show proper stick movements and the maneuvers they create!
