That may sound like a dream, but it can be a reality — and you can make it come true by using a computer R/C flight simulator as your introduction to flight. Great Planes® RealFlight® G4™ R/C Flight Simulator
If you can install and play a computer game, you know everything you need to get started flying with the world-renown RealFlight G4 R/C flight sim for Windows® PCs. Pilot over 60 different R/C planes and helicopters. Explore more than 25 stunning 3D flying sites — from photo-perfect recreations of actual fields to dazzling fantasy locales such as a pirate ship’s remains. Virtual Flight Instructors stand ready to help you learn basic flying skills, and an R/C transmitter-style controller is included. RealFlight is easily the most advanced, versatile and realistic R/C flight sim available. Experienced pilots use it to fly when they can’t be out at the field or park — and also to learn and polish advanced control techniques such as 4D flying, torque roll training, and water takeoffs and landings, before attempting them with their models. And RealFlight is equally invaluable for helping first-timers gain risk-free experience and confidence before ever attempting their initial “real” takeoff. The simulator makes learning a totally positive, pleasant process. You don’t have to worry about making mistakes, because there are no real consequences...except that you’ll very likely learn how NOT to make the same mistake at the flying field! RealFlight G4’s MultiMode™ feature permits split-screen flying with a friend — a feature you won’t find on any other R/C flight sim. RealFlight is also the only Internet-ready sim available, giving new and experienced pilots alike the chance to test — and improve — their skills against other players around the globe. With all these amazing features, RealFlight G4 offers R/C pilots the best virtual flying experience anywhere! |
