Info

Start the Program- 1. Close all open applications. This includes virus scanning software and other similar programs. 2. Double-click the RealFlight G5.5 Launcher located on your desktop. 3. To start the simulation, click the Run RealFlight button. The program will start using the pre-set defaults—including pilot perspective, flying location, and aircraft. The Main RealFlight Display- RealFlight G5.5 is a menu-driven program. As seen in the picture below, a menu bar appears across the top of the RealFlight screen. Those menus contain additional submenu items and pull-down lists for the related options of the respective menu. These menus allow access to the command and control functions for the RealFlight G5.5 simulation. Navigating the Menus- To access the various menu items, simply highlight and click the mouse on the menu that you would like to view. For example, clicking on the Aircraft menu activates the sub-menu items for that menu. 19
This manual includes a separate chapter for each menu title. Later chapters describe in detail all of the menu items, sub-menus and options. Please note: It is also possible to access many of the features and functions of RealFlight Generation 5.5 using hotkeys. Pressing the H key on the keyboard activates the Keyboard Commands dialog, which summarizes the available hotkeys. Aircraft Selection- When you start G5.5 for the first time, you will be piloting a P-51 Mustang. This is the default aircraft for RealFlight G5.5. To select a different aircraft, click the Aircraft menu title in the main menu bar. Next, click the Select Aircraft… menu item found in the drop-down menu. This activates the Select Aircraft dialog (as shown below), which displays a list of available aircraft. 20
