Remote Control Flight Simulator: Review Of Great Planes Realflight Simulator G4.5
February 9, 2009
For an RC flyer, a flight simulator is a must-have these days. We are all time-poor, and any time spent repairing the model is time not spent in the air!
A flight simulator allows you to learn anything from basic flight to advanced aerobatics, without risking damage to your model. Develop the reflexes you need, learn to anticipate how your model responds to different movements of the control surfaces, smooth your landings, and master impressive stunts – all in the safety and comfort of your own home.
The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator is the Rolls Royce of RC flight simulators – or perhaps a better comparison might be the Ferrari.
The latest version of the RealFlight simulator, the Great Planes RealFlight simulator G4.5, has taken a flight simulator that was head and shoulders above the others, and raised it to a whole new level.
Previous versions of RealFlight delighted users with flying sites in beautiful scenery, including stunning water features. Great Planes RealFlight G4.5 ups the ante, by allowing your aircraft to interact with the water. Take off and land on the water with float-equippped models, or ditch your regular bird into the drink and watch the realistic recreation of water drag and collisions with floating objects.
Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 allows you to import your own flying field, using a digital photograph, or to customise other flying sites. There will be no boredom with this RC flight simulator!
The range of models has been dramatically expanded, and of course you can create custom models and variations to your heart’s content.
A weakness of some RC flight simulators is a relatively small volume of flying space. The Great Planes RC flight simulator has no such limitation – there are hundreds of square miles of landscape to explore. In fact, users have been known to get lost in there!
The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator has always been the premium RC flight simulator on the market. Great Planes just keep making it better and better! Just a few of the great features in the latest version …
- The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 includes more Virtual Flight Instructor segments, including tutoring by John Glezellis.
- Fly with a genuine Futaba controller, or attach your own transmitter – the Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 offers unequalled realism!
- The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator can simulate 4D flying with variable pitch props – and includes torque roll training!
- The G4.5 version also features night flying — including a 3D carnival site.
- The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 allows you to take off — or land — on water!
Let’s face it, we’d all like to be flying more than we are. When it’s raining, freezing, dark, or when our model is our of action, the Great Planes RealFlight Simulator lets you scratch that itch!
The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 is available now, from all good hobby retailers.
And don’t pay full price! You can find discount versions of Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 on eBay.
If you want to have it planned, plan it with the best.
