thanks cuz tbh i only care about the tx and watcxhing flight demos, not menu stuff

Thank you!

Thank you!

I do feel they improve the sound on some of the planes especially on the jets. The sound quality helps a lot in the realism of the flight!

Thanks! I did try out the F-16 80mm on Evolution. It's been a while since I've actually flown my real one but the F-16 80mm in the Evolution feels a little sluggish than my real one. My real one feels much faster and more nimble in the air. Again, it's been a while. I think I may do a whole video on that! I will compare the F-16 80mm RealFlight versus actual flight! Thanks!

@@JonsRC Thx Man !!!

Hi John Not sure what tx you do refering, however, I'm using DX6i and as well couldn't get switches get to work. Only sticks and mode switch. I manage to get flaps working on Flaps switch by going to the transmitter setting, go to flaps, then adjust percentage there. Once you set that up, your Flap switch will come alive and you would be able to use it 👍 let me know if that helped. I will try to dig in a bit more to try get all sticks active so I can use retracs and smoke

Thanks! You can simply access the old interface by just moving your mouse to the left side of the screen. As you can see from the video, the menu just pops up as soon as mouse is on the left side.

@@JonsRC ok, sorry for this, but what I meant was the top menu bar with the drop down menu's :) I see it very briefly appear when starting up the program but then dissapears and goed into the new interface. Not really an issue but I am used to go via there to add custom planes and helis. If you know how to reinstate that drop down menu bar, that would be great ! Many thanks.

If your simulator works for you, then I don't see the need to upgrade. But, if you are looking to step up to what Horizon is calling the best RC Flight sim, then the RealFlight Sim is an awesome upgrade! I know for an absolute fact that I would not be flying this well if not for RealFlight. Plus, RealFlight pretty much has all the models that I fly in real life!

These two are the same sims. The Evo is just the next version with a slightly different menu system and more models. Overall, I like the RealFlight sim than any other sims I have played with.

The DX controller is the same as the DXs controller that comes with ready to fly models. Go to Horizon and read the manual of any RTF model. The default settings are the same for sim and model.

Looks like Horizon Hobby acquired Knife Edge’s RealFlight software in 2021. I did not know that Knife Edge discontinued RealFlight software in 2021. But, it looks like Horizon Hobby took over so RealFliight software is still alive!

Thank you! Yes. We did notice that after the recording but it would have taken too long to re-record. But I know better for the next RF video!

Hi, I believe that to unlock more tutorials, you have to go through the entirety of the first episode.

@@JonsRC yes, I indeed stuck at there, I've been in the first episode Taxi for 2 hours. nothing progressed to unlock.

You didnt get it for free. You stole it.

Is it possible to download a trial version?

@@gianluca387 man just get it.. free..

Realflight Evolution has the addition of a new modern menu that makes it a tad bit easier for the user to navigate through. Horizon Hobby also added new downloadable content that adds new models from Horizon, and that comes in the form of a quarterly-year content package that you can purchase directly from Steam. Both are very solid options!

Yes! I have hundreds of hours on sim time to hone my flying! It’s just a lot of practice!

thanks..:)@@JonsRC

As far as I am aware, there is no trial for this simulator.

@@JonsRC I have buy the trainer version with the dongle!! Its a very interesting starter pack!!

Not with the latest version unfortunately. Every RealFlight product in Horizon’s website all use a Steam code. You would have to get an older version like RealFlight 8 or 9 from another online site like eBay for the DVD version. Steam is not so bad. It is very easy to get started and very convenient for upgrades and reinstalling on different PCs.

@@JonsRC thanks for the heads up. i am used to dvd loading especially when the operating sys crashes 10 yrs from now. Now, realflight better work when i am offline.

So, I'm up and running with Realflight. Here's tip to everyone if you plan to fly helicopter to "learn how to fly a real rc helicopter" you must set your Physics = 150%. Yes, you must max it out otherwise it does not feel like real. I flew a trex 500 for 6 years and 150% is as close to actual flying in real. You also need to "drop" to adjust the throttle to a real helicopter. Flying at 100% physics or less is "fun" but is fake. Unless, you are trying to slowly learn a new trick or you are a total beginner.

Hi! There are actually 28 drones I counted in the Drones category. Using Steam is actually more convenient than legacy DVDs. It's easy to go from PC to PC (in case your hard drive crashes) using your Steam account without having to de-register from one PC and re-register to another PC that we had to do in the DVD days. Plus, it's much easier to keep up with updates. I use RealFlight primarily for my RC helis. My cheapest heli is about $250 and my most expensive one is about $1300. For us, $200 is a very small price to pay for not crashing my T-Rex 500 and my other expensive helis while I am attempting to learn new and difficult maneuvers. One crash on my T-Rex 500 will set us back at least $300. I have crashed on RealFlight atleast a 100 times while learning one single difficult maneuver before I was confident enough to try it in real life!

@@JonsRC My biggest concern is my slow internet. I'm using my phone hotspot for home internet so downloading large files like RealFlight might be a problem. I've had RealFlight before and enjoyed it very much. And I have a Steam account. I have yet to see a video on how to use Steam inconjuntion with RealFlight

@@JonsRC UPDATE I decided to try it and downloaded it yesterday. I thought it would take all night with my slow internet but it actually took less than an hour. And this thing is great!

You misspell too many words. Just friendly advice.
