RealFlight G3 Manual - Great Planes Software Support

DISPLAY METRIC UNITS-
This option toggles the units of measure between metric and SAE units. It is
important to note that modifying this option affects all measurements in the
simulation. For example, changing from SAE to metric in the editor also affects the
airport editor dialogs.
To modify this option, click the Display Metric Units setting. Depending upon your
selections in either the airport editor or the physics menus, this either adds or
removes a check mark from the Display Metric Units and return to the aircraft
editor. The measurements reflect this change immediately.
Alternatively, you may use the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight this
option. To finalize your selection, press the Enter key on the keyboard.
RELOAD COLOR SCHEME-
This option allows you to view the results of an edited trim scheme.
There are two ways that you can do so. The first is to use the Select Color Scheme
menu, which is found within the Aircraft menu. Simply click on the color scheme
that you have just edited, and RealFlight will reload the color scheme onto your
aircraft and reset the aircraft back on the runway.
Alternatively, within the aircraft editor, click on the Options menu item. Select
Reload Color Scheme. Clicking this reloads the color scheme, showing any
changes you have made to the aircraft. To improve visibility of the trim scheme, you
may wish to remove the wireframe from the preview. To so, please follow the
procedure noted in the description for “Show Wireframe.”
AIRCRAFT ROOT DIRECTORY-
The item that is highlighted in the far left column is the item for which the Name and
corresponding value information is shown.
With the aircraft name highlighted, the first dialog displays general information
about the aircraft itself:
DESCRIPTION-
As the name suggests, this is the description of the aircraft. When you edit an
aircraft, we suggest that you modify the description. This will assist you in keeping
track of the modifications without having to return to the AccuModel editor to see
what has changed.
