Introduction Welcome to the RealFlight Generation 5.5 R/C Flight Simulator R ealFlight G5.5 is without question, the most advanced R/C aircraft simulation available. RealFlight G5.5 is so technologically advanced and so realistic, you’ll find it hard to believe that it’s only a simulation. The culmination of over a dozen years of development and design, G5.5 offers advancements that will serve to fine-tune the flying skills of even the most seasoned R/C veteran. If you’re an entry-level R/C-er, RealFlight G5.5 is the ideal way to learn to fly, practice maneuvers, feel the effects of design modifications, or just have an incredible amount of fun. RealFlight G5.5 includes over 80 models that look and fly like the real thing, plus a multitude of flying sites (each with their own unique “feel” and distinctive characteristics). In addition, G5.5 offers its users the most powerful, flexible aircraft and flying site editors ever unveiled to the modeling community; allowing modelers to experiment with a virtually unlimited number of parameters. G5.5 enables you to change the look and feel of a flying site with nothing more than a few keystrokes, a click of the mouse and a little imagination. The integrated AccuModel aircraft editor makes modifying aircraft just as easy. RealFlight G5.5 also offers a wide array of tools to help you understand how to use the program and how to improve your R/C piloting skills. This extensive manual explains every feature and option; as well as how to use them. We offer a number of training aids and assistance including( but not limited to): our Virtual Flight Instruction, Heli Hover Trainer, Airplane Hover Trainer, Takeoff and Landing Trainer, Heli Autorotation Trainer and Heli Orientation Trainer. These helpful training aids provide on-the-fly learning opportunities, and we encourage you to take full advantage of them. No other R/C simulator goes further to enrich your R/C experience. The following section briefly outlines some of the exciting features in RealFlight G5.5. Subsequent chapters will describe all RealFlight features in complete detail. We strongly suggest that you peruse this manual in its entirety, as it explains every feature and option, as well as how to use them. 1 Chapter 1
